Like many orthodontists in training, I often found myself limited by conventional mechanics, especially when managing complex malocclusions that demanded greater control and predictability. The introduction of infra-zygomatic crest and buccal shelf bone screws changed that experience completely. This book is conceived as a comprehensive guide to the principles, clinical applications, and biomechanical considerations of infra-zygomatic and buccal shelf bone screws. It aims to bridge the gap between foundational knowledge and day-to-day clinical practice, providing a clear understanding of site selection, insertion techniques and force systems.
This work is intended for postgraduate students, practicing orthodontists, and clinicians seeking to incorporate skeletal anchorage into their practice. The content has been structured to progress from basic concepts to advanced clinical applications, supported by illustrations, case examples, and step-by-step protocols.
It is hoped that this book will serve not only as a learning resource but also as a practical companion in the journey toward more efficient, predictable, and patient-centred orthodontic care.

Dr. Vidhi Gopalani is a Postgraduate Student in Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, a compassionate
researcher, and a passionate writer whose clinical work is driven by a deep commitment to providing
comprehensive dental care for children, including those with special healthcare needs. She has
completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Hitkarini Dental College and Hospital,
Jabalpur (M.P.), and is currently pursuing her Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Pediatric and
Preventive Dentistry at the same institution.
During her postgraduate training, Dr. Vidhi has developed a keen interest in cleft lip and palate
management, focusing on pre-surgical nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and comprehensive care for
affected infants.
Her enthusiasm for Pre-Surgical Nasoalveolar Molding (PNAM) stems from a desire to reduce
surgical burden, improve long-term outcomes, and provide holistic support to families navigating
complex care pathways from the very beginning of a child's life.
By merging clinical precision with a natural gift for clear, empathetic writing, Dr. Vidhi aims to
bridge the gap between advanced clinical techniques and practical execution. This book reflects her
unwavering dedication to empowering clinicians, postgraduate students, and parents with an
accessible, evidence based roadmap to early cleft intervention.
