Limits and inconsistencies of standard orthodontic mechanics and strategies to overcome them

In this presentation, we will show some failures in the use of standard techniques and we will discuss how it is possible to avoid side effects and make the therapy outcomes more predictable, with the use of a rational and individualized mechanics. This different approach, based on the deep knowledge of orthodontic biomechanics, ultimately raises the limits of orthodontic therapy and allows for the controlled treatment of very complex cases.
