The size and shape of the arches have a considerable implication in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, affecting the space available, dental aesthetics and stability of the dentition. There are variant types of faces which orthodontists have to treat with best possible esthetics and stability in their clinics. The arch dimensions are usually modified according to treatment plan which can ultimately also affect the arch forms. Stability of arch form is one of the most desirable goals of orthodontics. Current literature is insufficient in relating arch dimensions and arch form with other craniofacial dimensions. Hence this book evaluates the relationships of the above and compares the arch forms in various vertical face types. This book gives comprehensive information about the subject of arch dimensions and arch forms. The conclusions and the clinical applicability section will guide clinical orthodontists in establishing the orthodontic treatment goals customized to an individual patient with the best possible esthetics and stability.

Authored by the foremost experts in the field, this compact reference serves the student and clinician by relating basic science to successful treatment planning. It demonstrates how the best instrument in dental medicine is often the practitioner's knowledge of the body's biologic growth principles. Donald H. Enlow, MS, PhD, the acknowledged pioneer and research leader in facial growth study for the past twenty years, provides comprehensive insights into normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. His colleague, Mark G. Hans, DDS, MSD, contributes a concrete understanding of the importance of these concepts in clinical practice. It delves into the interrelationships between soft tissue and skeletal growth, and examines the impact of function upon development. And it stresses the ways in which these biological principles and concepts affect treatment planning, selection, results, relapse, tooth movement, and nonbiological prosthetic implants during growth. Detailed illustrations make key concepts and developmental processes simple to grasp, and a user-friendly organization allows for quick comprehension and convenient referral.

An illustrated guide for the complex process of orthodontic diagnostics and indication. The total process of treatment planning including the scientific bases is pictorially described. Beside the conventional methods of examination and model analysis, emphasis is placed on the cranio-facial growth processes, the aetiology of malocclusions and on the importance of functional analysis. The following three aspects are described in detail in this book: Growth of the Facial Skeleton - types of treatment which promote or guide growth. In order to control these natural processes artificially, a precise understanding of them is required. Aetiology of the Malocclusion - the various types of causative therapy and the elimination of the causes. Functional Analysis - many malocclusions are a result of dysfunctions. As a variety of methods are available for treating dysfunctions, functional analysis is taken very seriously.
