State-of-the-Art Orthodontics 1st Edition

The delivery of high-quality treatment with excellent aesthetic results and shorter treatment durations is a primary goal for all practicing orthodontists.

To support these aims, the introduction of aesthetic appliances with low friction, alongside orthodontic mini-screws, has enabled faster and more efficient treatments with fewer side effects. The use of modern aesthetic appliances and mini-screws also addresses compliance issues, which can be particularly challenging with adolescents and adults who are often hesitant to use headgear and traditional intraoral devices.

Written by internationally recognized experts, Contemporary Orthodontics: Self-Ligating Appliances, Mini-Screws, and Second Molar Extraction tackles these concerns and is richly illustrated to clearly outline the diagnosis and treatment planning for Class II and III malocclusions, as well as the use of second molar extraction. The book particularly highlights the Clarity™ Self-Ligating appliance, which incorporates all the essential features of SmartClip™ while offering enhanced aesthetic qualities, leading to greater patient acceptance and improved compliance.
