Lingual Orthodontics - An Overview.

      Аннотация: Like it or not, we live in a beauty conscious society. The advertising community has always pushed the idea that ‘beautiful is better’. Esthetics is now a catchword among people. Self improvement is no longer the domain of the rich and the famous. Nor is it considered a sign of self - indulgence or vanity. Quite contrary, taking steps to improve one’s appearance today is considered an investment in health and well being, and it is as socially acceptable as personally gratifying.With their ever increasing awareness about the need to look good (read normal) “at all times”, even a speciality like orthodontics which had traditionally given more importance to treatment objectives than anything else had to rethink its approach towards such patients.Gone are those days when alignment of teeth was considered a treatment only for children and adolescents. With more and more adults opting for orthodontic treatment,these adults have special esthetic demand as regards their orthodontics treatment and don’t want visible braces and Lingual Orthodontics caters to this segment. This book is an overview of various aspects of Lingual Orthodontic treatment.
