a new approach using STb light lingual system & lingual straight wire
viii, 256 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 29 cm
This book follows on from the authors' previous Invisible Orthodontics (2003) and charts the rapid evolution of the lingual technique using the new STb Light Lingual System and Lingual Straight Wire. A large portion of the book is dedicated to the characteristics and benefits of low-friction forces using STb, the first variable-friction lingual bracket.
The new STb bracket has been designed to improve patient comfort and give better clinical results and shorter treatment times. Furthermore, the growing worldwide demand for esthetic orthodontic treatment is encouraging more practitioners to exploit this technique.
A complete description of extractive and non-extractive mechanics, including the improvements in absolute anchorage control, completes this book. --Book Jacket.
