Descripción

Contemporary orthodontics has undergone a profound transformation with the introduction of skeletal anchorage, a development that has expanded the biomechanical possibilities for treating even the most complex malocclusions. In this evolving landscape, Dr. Patricia Vergara emerged as one of the pioneering and most influential international figures in the field, embracing the use of extra-alveolar miniscrews early in their development and creating clinical protocols that have become part of the modern standard of care in orthodontics.

This book brings together decades of clinical experience, research, and dedication to patient care. Through a carefully curated selection of cases, Dr. Vergara and her collaborators present innovative treatment approaches that integrate advanced biomechanics, skeletal anchorage, and a deep understanding of masticatory system function. Her comprehensive philosophy—where temporomandibular joint assessment, musculature, diagnosis, and treatment mechanics converge—offers readers a clear, practical, and scientifically grounded perspective on contemporary orthodontic management.

The text includes chapters dedicated to skeletal anchorage in different anatomical regions, gummy smile correction, MARPE, molar mesialization and uprighting, aligner therapy, esthetic appliances, transverse development, and early treatment approaches. It also explores multidisciplinary topics such as orthognathic surgery and adjunctive therapies, including laser applications.

With contributions from internationally recognized experts, this work stands as an essential reference for orthodontists, educators, and students alike. More than a technical compendium, it is a reflection of Dr. Vergara’s passion for teaching, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence in patient care. A landmark publication that represents a defining achievement in her distinguished professional career.
