Mechanotherapy In Orthodontics

Mechanotherapy in Orthodontics is the science of engineering precise and efficient procedures to accomplish desired skeletal and dental changes and movements.
This innovative and comprehensive book series guides students, educators and clinicians from basic biomechanics principles to advanced mechanotherapy concepts, incorporating current scientific evidence on advances in tooth movement and craniofacial growth.

Volume I & Volume II Bundle

If you haven’t bought the first Volume already, this is a great opportunity to get your hands on both Vol. I and Vol. II of Mechanotherapy in Orthodontics.

The second Volume expands on some of the concepts introduced in Volume I and provide in depth discussion on more advanced topics such as stages of Mechanotherapy or friction in Orthodontics.

Volume II

Mechanotherapy in Orthodontics: Principle of Design, the volume II of this book series, presents the mechanical principles instructing a precise and personalized mechanotherapy plan. Rather than analyzing the different appliances or techniques used in the daily Orthodontics and Orthopedics treatment, we introduce important concepts such as, anchor versus target unit, sequence of mechanotherapy, semi-restricted and free-object designs, material behavior as source of forces, and friction in orthodontics.

Deep understanding of these concepts equips the clinician to develop a personalized Mechanotherapy to efficiently treat any malocclusions despite their complexity.

Volume I

Mechanotherapy in Orthodontics: Basic Biomechanics, the volume I of this book series, reviews the physics and mechanical principles that allow the clinician to deliver accurate and efficient treatment for their patients. Readers will learn to apply physical laws in Orthodontics treatment, from basic concepts to more advance topics.

This book is written clearly and assumes no previous knowledge in physics or mechanics on the part of the reader. Rich illustrations in this book allow the readers to grasp concepts quickly without a need for memorization.

Authors

Dr. Mani Alikhani is Professor and Dean of CTOR Academy, and faculty at Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

 

Dr. Cristina Teixeira is Associate Professor and former Chair of the Department of Orthodontics at New York University College of Dentistry. As collaborators, their research focuses on skeletal form, tooth movement, and bone response to mechanical stimulation. Their work, supported by NIH and different international research foundations, produced several patents such micro-osteoperforations, high frequency acceleration, external plates, Robotic Orthodontics, and many others. Dr. Alikhani’s clinical focus is on non-surgical treatment of severe skeletal and dental deformities. Dr Teixeira’s clinical expertise in on early interceptive orthopedic treatment.

 

Dr. Chinapa Sangsuwon is Assistant Professor at CTOR Academy and an
active member of the CTOR translational research team for the last decade. Dr.Sangsuwon is CEO of CTOR Press, and a pioneer in the development of innovative education materials, with 3D imaging and interactive capabilities.
