1. Low-friction esthetic brackets: the ClarityTM SL self-Ligating Appliance System
2. Miniscrews and biomechanics in orthodontics
3. Second molar extractions
Product Description
Authored by experts of international renown, State-of-the-Art Orthodontics: Self-Ligating Appliances, Mini-Screws and Second Molars Extraction is lavishly illustrated throughout and explains the latest techniques in the management of Class II and III malocclusions including severe over-crowding. Places particular emphasis on the role of the ClarityT Self-Ligating appliance - an esthetic device that also demonstrates excellent sliding biomechanics and allows use of low force levels and reduced treatment times.
Lavish use of colour photography and artwork helps explain new concepts clearly
Demonstrates the effective use of the ClarityT Self-Ligating appliance, a device which contains all of the essential features of SmartClipT but which also demonstrates greater patient acceptability and hence improvement in compliance
Explains treatment options that show more predictable outcomes, good performance sliding biomechanics, the application of low force levels and reduced treatment times
