Conclusion
There are a plethora of appliances available in
the market today, each telling its own
advantages, but as a clinician it’s our duty to
access each individual case and decide which
one is most suitable.
The basic standard edgewise mechanics are as
modern as tomorrow and will continue to be
used as long as the specialty exists.
