Treatment mechanics has always been of tremendous interest for all practicing orthodontists. Since the beginning of the specialty, orthodontists have looked for the best, fastest, more consistent, and easiest way to achieve the orthodontic correction for our patients.

It is important for the contemporary orthodontist to be knowledgeable of current changes, to gain the benefits of such innovation.
