Book Description

The text, with the addition of over 130 new illustrations, has been thoroughly revised to include enlarged sections on case assessment, treatment need and treatment planning. The principles of removable and fixed orthodontic appliance treatment have been updated as has the chapter on post-treatment retention. Functional appliances and the place of surgery in the treatment of gross malocclusion and facial deformity are also discussed. There is a new chapter on the principles of treatment for patients suffering from cleft lip and palate. The aim of the book still continues to be that of providing a basic text for the undergraduate and a primer for the postgraduate. It will nonetheless be useful for vocational training programmes and as a basis for the extended training courses in orthodontics now being organized for the established dental practitioner.
