Esthetics and Biomechanics in Orthodontics combines two of the most important aspects of orthodontic treatment: esthetics and biomechanics. The basis of orthodontic treatment lies in the clinical application of biomechanic concepts, and understanding these concepts is imperative to achieving successful treatment outcomes. One of the key objectives of this book is to present how the esthetic objectives of orthodontic treatment can be successfully obtained with biomechanics-based orthodontic appliances. Some of the most eminent clinicians and scientists in the field of contemporary orthodontics have come together to provide you with state-of-the-art guidance on the how the principles of biomechanics can be applied to all orthodontic techniques to improve force delivery, prevent side effects, and achieve esthetically-pleasing, predictable results.
