Biomechanics of Lingual Orthodontics.

      Аннотация: Nothing stays the same in life, given time; everything changes, so is with orthodontics. With more number of adult patients desiring orthodontic treatment and special aesthetic demands of the patients the orthodontic community came out with the ultimate aesthetic solution – Lingual Orthodontics. The appliance has been shown to be as effective as labial counterparts in correcting all types of malocclusion. A great degree of variation is present in the lingual technique compared to the labial one, not only in terms of mechanics and treatment effects, but also in terms of patient compliance and comfort. These differences may be attributed to the factors like the differences in bracket position and design, location of force application in relation to the centre of resistance, mechanics used, bonding techniques and so on. The only criteria for achieving successful results on the part of the operator is to develop the necessary skills.
