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...

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.
