Description:

The use of orthodontic miniscrews has revolutionized clinical practice by providing stable anchorage and effective solutions for treating complex malocclusions without extractions or orthognathic surgery. «MINISCREW Applications in Orthodontics», written by Dr. Chris Chang and Dr. Eugene Roberts, along with a team of experts, serves as a comprehensive guide to the application of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in modern orthodontics.

Divided into three sections, this book covers everything from fundamental concepts to advanced clinical applications. The first section introduces key principles, including site selection, placement protocols, and management of complications to optimize TAD stability. The second section explores their use in combination with self-ligating systems for treating Class II and III malocclusions, impacted teeth, and aesthetic corrections. The third section focuses on integrating miniscrews with clear aligners to enhance orthodontic treatment efficiency.

Supported by scientific evidence and an extensive collection of clinical cases, this book offers not only theoretical knowledge but also practical strategies based on the authors’ vast experience. «MINISCREW Applications in Orthodontics» is an essential resource for orthodontists looking to refine their techniques and deliver more predictable and stable treatment outcomes for their patients.
