The initial eight chapters provide a synthesis of the wide variety of treatments currently available for malocclusions in the sagittal, transverse, and vertical dimensions. The subsequent chapters describe the details of clinical management of fixed appliance therapy (e.g., bracket placement and design - including self-ligating brackets, orthodontic bonding, archwire sequencing, transpalatal arch and utility arch management). Dentofacial orthopedics, including rapid maxillary expansion and extraoral traction, as well as functional jaw orthopedics (Herbst, Twin Block, FR-2 of Fränkel, Bionator) and molar distalizing appliances (Pendulum, Distal Jet, Wilson distalizing arch) then are consider...
Computer technology is having an increased impact on the practice of orthodontics, with digital imaging and radiography, three-dimensional virtual models, and various CAD/CAM technologies affecting everyday practice. This symposium addresses this change and how it has improved patient care.

Orthodontics is the presumed beneficiary of a variety of new technologies and protocols intended to hasten tooth movement, improve outcomes, and streamline treatment. Some are supported by data, some are not. This volume focuses on the biology and biomechanics of tooth movement, with emphasis on effectiveness and efficiency. The claims of supporters -- ardent and otherwise -- are examined via evidence-based studies that look at such techniques du jour as corticotomies, self-ligating bracket systems, temporary anchorage devices, and proposed pharmacological adjuncts. In addition, canine impaction and primary failure of eruption are discussed. The genetic basis of such clinical problems as root resorption also is considered. Contributors to this volume include Charles Burstone, Peter Miles, Tiziano Baccetti, Nan Hatch, James Hartsfield, Haluk Y_eri, Ravindra Nanda, Peter Buschang, and Flavio Uribe, Lorenzo Franchi, Sylvia Frazier-Bowers, Dan Grauer, Laura Iwasaki, Giuseppe Perinetti and Chester Handelman.
