Dentofacial Esthetic Control Using Miniscrews: A Biomechanics Approach

Skeletal anchorage, new materials, and technology have undoubtedly expanded the dimensions of orthodontic care, but if you do not master the fundamentals, such as biomechanics, you will limit your success. The face seems to be a key feature in determination of human attractiveness, and facial esthetics are part of dentistry, and orthodontists play an important role in determining the patient’s facing esthetics. Improving facial and smile esthetic has become important goal in orthodontic treatment. Using the basic principles of the biomechanics associated to innovative approaches, the lecture will focus on the biomechanical treatment strategies and solutions using skeletal anchorage to treat complex malocclusions and, undoubtedly, improve facial esthetic. For better biomechanics understanding of the using of miniscrew implants, especially in dentofacial esthetic approach, the lecture aims to present rationale approach for complex cases.
