The Role of Archform in Orthodontics

Since ages, Archform has been a subject of interest in orthodontic literature. Well-maintained archform aids in stabilizing orthodontic corrections to reduce the chances of relapse, which is most common in the field of orthodontics. In order to maintain these archforms, understanding of growth and development, size, shape and contour is of the utmost importance as orthodontic treatment tends to change the arch during tooth movement. This book presents all information in detail on the growth and development of the arches, their importance in orthodontics, the different concepts associated with each and every archtype, the factors affecting these archforms, the associated relapse tendency, the practical solutions for maintaining these archforms and recent developments. Citations and references have also been provided for further clarification if there are doubts in any corner of the book. An in-depth review of the literature has been carried out in order to provide all the information on this subject so that a clear picture is purchased in front of the readers.
