This excellent manual details the orthodontic solutions possible through the use of the STb light lingual system and its innovative variable-friction lingual bracket. Taking into consideration the recent developments within the industry and in laboratory procedure, the authors detail the latest improvements in the system, such as improved patient comfort, increased predictability of results, shortened treatment times, and decreased laboratory work. Furthermore the biomechanical benefits of the STb system are explained in full, including comprehensive chapters on extractive and nonextractive mechanics, absolute anchorage control, low frictional force, and the lingual straight-wire method. Multiple case presentations highlight the obvious esthetic advantage of using invisible orthodontic therapy, and a separate chapter outlines the keys to successfully managing the esthetically minded patient. An essential tool for all clinicians interested in lingual orthodontics. Contents 1. Introduction 2. Overview of Bracket and Appliance Systems for Lingual Orthodontics 3. STb and Light Lingual System 4. Mechanical Aspects of STb and Other Lingual Brackets: Slot Precision and Torque Stability 5. Light Wire Lingual Orthodontics: Biomechanical Considerations 6.

Documenting recent clinical innovations, this heavily illustrated reference outlines a systematic approach to lingual orthodontics. Chapters discuss diagnostic and therapeutic considerations, biomechanics, and retention, as well as detailing several specific techniques and procedures (including lab procedures, bonding and banding, extraction, and the lingual straight-wire technique). Color photographs show the equipment, the procedures, and the results. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Invisible Orthodontics: Current Concepts and Solutions in Lingual Orthodontics

Quintessenz Verlags-Gmbh

The orthodontic setup is meant to provide a three-dimensional representation of the occlusion at the end of treatment. Although the orthodontic setup was first described by Kesling in 1945 and has since then become an indispensible tool for diagnosis and the construction of customized appliances, there are no standardized guidelines that are approved and used by professional organizations and manufacturers. This makes it very difficult for orthodontists to provide orthodontic technicians with precise objective information on the final position of the teeth. Orthodontic technicians must therefore draw on their personal experience, know-how, and best professional practices in short, a series of unwritten rules that are by no means universal. With this in mind, the authors have set out to describe the procedures used in the construction and evaluation of a setup that can be used both for diagnostic purposes and to manufacture customized orthodontic appliances. The manual and digital tools currently available to professionals in this field are discussed, with a particular focus on the recent developments in CAD/CAM bracket-positioning technology.
