Removable Orthodontic Appliances

Bys: Singh, Akanksha and Singh, Mansi

This book, Removable Orthodontic Appliances: Designs, Components, and Clinical Applications, presents a concise yet comprehensive exploration of removable orthodontic devices. It explains their essential components-active parts like springs and screws for tooth movement, retentive clasps for stability, and acrylic baseplates that unify the design. The text classifies appliances into active, passive, and functional types, describing their clinical roles in space maintenance, interceptive treatment, habit control, minor corrections, and growth modification. Practical insights are provided on biomechanics and anchorage, emphasizing how force direction, magnitude, and patient compliance determine success. Advantages such as simplicity, affordability, and improved oral hygiene are balanced against limitations like restricted movement and reliance on cooperation. By blending classical orthodontic principles with modern applications, the book serves as a valuable reference for dental students, orthodontic trainees, and clinicians aiming to integrate removable appliances effectively in practice.
