Contemporary Perspectives, Limitations, and Solutions

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first evidence-based evaluation of the present limitations, shortcomings, and controversies in clear aligner therapy. It discusses problems in finishing, relapse, complex movements, mechanotherapy, attachment optimization, the mandibular advancement appliance, interproximal reduction, extraction therapy, interceptive treatment, accelerated orthodontics, and deep bite/open bite correction. Unlike current available texts on clear aligner therapy, this book features a nonpartisan, critical analysis of the problems of the technique and demonstrates their clinical implications. Unique solutions to the current limitations of clear aligner therapy are presented, and systematic strategies and protocols for addressing a vast range and complexity of malocclusions commonly confronted by practitioners are introduced. The book helps orthodontists, technicians and bioengineers to investigate prevailing misconceptions, and to resolve significant controversies and dilemmas in clearaligner therapy.
