The Biomechanical Foundation of Clinical Orthodontics ING

ORTHODONTICS
Charles J. Burstone and Kwangchul Choy
All orthodontic treatment modalities can be improved by the application of sound biomechanics, yet most orthodontic therapy
today is delivered without consideration of forces or force systems. Orthodontic hardware itself is only a means to an end
point, such as tooth alignment, bone remodeling, or growth modification; the orthodontist can achieve these goals only by ma-
nipulating forces, regardless of the techniques used. Written by a world-renowned authority on the subject, this book teaches
biomechanics in an easy-to-understand and engaging way, using universal examples outside orthodontics to illustrate basic
force systems and how they function and then applying these principles to the practice of clinical orthodontics. The authors
cover all of the force systems an orthodontist needs to understand to deliver effective treatment, explaining how each can be
controlled and manipulated and demonstrating the forces at work through highly instructive 3D illustrations. Most chapters
conclude with the presentation of several study problems, allowing the reader an opportunity to practice developing treatment
plans using the biomechanical concepts discussed in each chapter. (Answers are provided at the end of the book.) This book
is sure to be an instant classic.
