Burstone's Biomechanical Foundation of Clinical Orthodontics

Focuses heavily on the application of physics and Newtonian mechanics to the practice of orthodontics. The book details the theoretical foundations necessary for clinicians to understand and manipulate force systems, including concepts like center of resistance (CR), moment-to-force (M/F) ratios, and equilibrium, to achieve precise tooth movement. The content systematically progresses from basic force concepts and single-force appliances to advanced appliance therapy (such as lingual arches and extraction mechanics) and the material science of orthodontic wires, emphasizing that a scientific understanding is essential for avoiding errors and maximizing treatment efficiency. The text frequently uses diagrams and calculations to explain how different appliances and wire configurations deliver specific forces and moments to control tipping, translation, and rotation in both two and three dimensions.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
