Abstract
This article describes the importance of biomechanics in orthodontics through the development of the segmented arch technique and the research performed in this field. Clinicians are encouraged to develop specific goals of treatment based on a precise diagnosis and to design appliances that will deliver the desired force system. In this article we emphasize the importance of a thorough analysis of the force system needed to achieve the desired orthodontic tooth movement and avoid any of the undesired side effects of treatment mechanics. We show that a well-thought out and planned treatment will lead to better clinical outcomes that will benefit our patients.
