A Textbook of Orthodontics

This textbook gives an understanding of the background of clinical orthodontics, but as much of clinical orthodontics needs to be learned in the clinic, the book emphasises appliance design since this can be studied on the printed page. Divided broadly into three parts the book first covers the principles of tooth movement and treatment planning including extractions. The final chapters explain the mechanisms of removable, fixed and functional appliance therapy including the treatment of the main classifications of malocclusion.
