eBook Introduction

Orthodontics is built upon basic principles of physics, concerning moving bodies in space. Of course, the movements in orthodontics are made more complicated, as these moving bodies are in the mouth and are subject to more complex force systems than simple mechanics can predict. Biomechanics is an important part of orthodontics and is the study of static equilibrium, and the effects of forces on biological systems. This text will attempt to simplify the biomechanics of orthodontics and provide a framework for clinical applications.

This eBook is from the IFDE online course: Introduction to Orthodontic Biomechanics – Clinical Applications (Mod 2).
