This book provides a comprehensive introduction to physiologic
anchorage control, explains the implications for clinical practice,
and presents an anchorage technique applicable for the treatment of
different malocclusions. The concept of physiologic anchorage
control is derived from observations of upper molar movement during
growth in adolescence, including in the absence of orthodontic
treatment, which indicate that molar forward displacement comprises
two components: the first due to biologic force or physiologic
anchorage loss and the second due to orthodontic force or
mechanical anchorage loss. All previous anchorage methods have been
based on the assumption that molar anchorage loss is to be
attributed solely to the mechanical force used to retract anterior
teeth, and the new concept represents a paradigm shift of clinical
significance. This book explores the pattern of upper molar growth
in depth, highlights the physiologic significance of the curve of
Spee, and analyzes the biomechanics of physiologic anchorage
control. An anchorage control system that fully takes into account
the latest conceptual insights is described and its clinical use
and utility, examined.
