Advances in fixed appliance orthodontics.
In 1992, Postlethwaite wrote an article for Dental Update entitled 'Advances in fixed appliance design and use'. In the subsequent years there have been, as in most dental specialties, huge advances in materials. These have resulted in improved efficiency, convenience and simplicity in using fixed appliance orthodontics. This article is intended to be an update in these advances over the last 10 years.
