These methods added aspects of strength to routine clinical practice. It has been hypothesized that, by “amalgamating” conventional fixed orthodontic treatment with the aforementioned techniques, it would be possible to produce a “layered” treatment regimen that maximizes the patients’ benefit. The advantages of the new techniques should theoretically cancel out the drawbacks of routine fixed treatment (long duration, enamel lesions, root resorption, anchorage problems).
