Though comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning set the stage
for effective orthodontic treatment, it is a clear understanding of
the fundamental biomechanical principles behind orthodontic force
that allows the clinician to design the most favorable appliances
and systems. Correct application of the principles of biomechanics
leads to highly efficient and successful orthodontic treatment; a
lack of proper understanding produces ineffectual systems that may
even lead to collateral tissue damage. In addition, knowledge about
the properties of the latest wire, bracket, and bonding materials
and designs is a key factor in the configuration of successful
orthodontic appliances. This essential book introduces students of
orthodontics to the evolution of orthodontic technology and the
properties of orthodontic materials, and outlines the essential
mechanical principles behind successful orthodontic
treatment.
