It is said that Cephalometrics is the language in which poetry of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning is written. Cephalometrics is useful in determination of morphology and growth, diagnosis of anomalies, forecasting future relationships, planning appropriate biomechanics, evaluating pre and post treatment changes/efficacy of treatment mechanics, and studying relapse. It is the single most important research tool in the hands of orthodontists, physical anthropologists and growth science biologists. Cephalometric analyses provide information about size and shape of the craniofacial...

While orthodontic treatment affects all three dimensions, many of the current tools of diagnosis employ only a two dimensional (2D) representation of the patient. The development of integrated 3-D tools has helped to interpolate the 3-D data and visualize a 3-dimensional problem 3-dimensionally and treat accordingly. Highly sophisticated technologies from the fields of digital imaging, computer graphics, robotics, computational analysis and database management are cruising their way into the specialty. With treatment records always at the orthodontist's finger tips, orthodontic treatment has...

In orthodontics, there are fads and fashions modified by progress and technological advances.Today's face conscious society needs more than merely movement of teeth to achieve optimal results. We are dealing with a multisystem environment in which the osseous and neuromuscular components are just as important in the over-all picture as the dental structures. So if we are to make the stable and dramatic three dimensional alterations desired in the dentofacial complex, early growth guidance by functional appliances is essential. Functional appliances represent a positive approach to the...

The segmented arch technique is a modified, full-banded edge wise orthodontic procedure, which uses relatively light, constant force with control over anchorage units as well as teeth to be moved. Biomechanical and theoretical principles have gone into the development of the segmented arch technique. It allows the clinician to achieve predetermined treatment goals and orthodontic treatment becomes doctor-determined rather than appliance-determined.
