Physiopathology of Lingual Orthodontics

The book "Physiopathology of Lingual Orthodontics," authored by Dr. Gilbert and Dr. Velasquez Forero, offers a comprehensive analysis of the various pathologies that can be recognized by orthodontists. It begins with a medical overview of the patients' clinical data and highlights the impact of the Straight-Wire technique on the diagnostic capabilities of orthodontists. Additionally, it discusses the significance of new orthodontic alloys, which, while useful, also come with risks. Another important aspect of the book is the emotional health of patients, including methods for recognizing and measuring psychological issues. The subsequent chapters focus on bone metabolism and its relationship to orthodontic movements, as well as the different systems for placing and transferring lingual brackets. The second half of the book addresses innovative features of the lingual technique, including new bracket designs and the use of robots. The book is rich in information yet accessible to most practitioners.
