The universality of orthodontic treatment for adults is already a fact. He contributed to this, among others: development of increasingly less visible orthodontic appliances. Previously, aesthetic fixed braces and lingual braces were very popular among patients in this age group, but now aligners are taking priority in choosing the method of treatment. The idea of using a sequence of removable braces has been known in orthodontics since the 1940s, but new digital technologies enable precise planning and staged tooth movement using a sequence of overlays. Nowadays, aligners are commonplace in most orthodontic practices around the world. The number of patients treated with overlays is growing rapidly from year to year. The book FUNDAMENTALS AND BIOMECHANICS OF ALIGNER ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT summarizes the current knowledge about the use and effectiveness of aligners. They can be successfully used to treat most orthodontic defects. The authors emphasize this by sharing their clinical experience, describing the advantages and disadvantages, as well as indications and contraindications for the use of aligners in patients of different ages, including hybrid treatment with the simultaneous use of fixed braces and overlays.
