This is a two credit hour seminar course. The purpose of the course is to introduce the foundational concepts for understanding both the laws of mechanics and the typical tissue responses to force systems used in orthodontic appliances. Students will learn theory-guided approaches to planning safe, predictable and efficient orthodontic treatment. Students will be expected to read and critique background material in assigned textbooks and journal articles for seminar discussions. This course will supplement subject matter covered in the typodont course, ORT 662.
