Methods of influencing facial growth through facial orthopedics are demonstrated, including explanations of their modes of action and their long-term effects. Facial orthopedics has the potential to improve functional conditions, promote a more favorable jaw relationship, guide the development of the dentition, and improve the position of malaligned teeth. Multiple clinical examples, including several short video clips, demonstrate how and when to treat as well as the outcome of various facial-orthopedic procedures. All of the written and spoken text can be reproduced in six different languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese).
Dynamics of Orthodontics is an interactive multimedia series that enables users to pursue a flexible, individualized program in the study of orthodontics. Consisting of several discrete components, the series uses advanced multimedia technology to demonstrate dynamic biologic processes that until now could only be conceptualized. The series is designed for students and experts alike, with the ultimate objective of promoting better patient care.
