Aligner Orthodontics and Orofacial Orthopedics

This indispensable text provides a wealth of practical tips, strategies, and case examples to aid clinicians in successfully integrating aligner orthodontics into clinical practice. An abundance of illustrations and clinical photographs exhibit how to perform treatment with different aligner systems, with a special focus on in-office designs. The chapters on physiology and functional neuroanatomy, biomechanics, and treatment planning for various malocclusions highlight the authors’ focus on functionally driven treatment in contrast to mere esthetics. The conscientiousness of the authors is carried through the book all the way to the final chapter dedicated to avoiding plastic waste.Contents 1.
