Orthodontics is a sub-specialty of dentistry that deals with the treatment of misaligned teeth. This book describes the history and evolution of orthodontics. Beginning with an introduction to the history of dentistry in general, the following chapters look at the history of orthodontics in different parts of the world, including the USA, UK and parts of Europe. The following sections describe the evolution of key aspects within orthodontics including cephalometrics, removable and fixed appliances and cleft palate. Separate chapters are dedicated to the contributions of eminent inventors in the field. The development of more recent advances in orthodontics such as invisalign and dental lasers is also covered. This book includes more than 180 photographs, tables and illustrations, as well as extensive references for further reading.

This book introduces the concepts of orthodontics to undergraduate students. Beginning with an introduction to, and the history of, orthodontics, this textbook continues with facial development, orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and much more. A separate chapter dedicated to preclinical orthodontics deals with the rationale, armamentarium and step by step wire bending procedure. Management of different types of malocclusion is described, with case records to support the text. Written by leading international experts, this book contains over 2,000 high quality photographs and illustrations, as well as numerous tables, flow charts and boxes. A complementary booklet MCQs in Orthodontics contains over 2,300 multiple choice questions to help with revision and viva voce preparation.

Cephalometry is an imaging technique used in orthodontics to measure the size and spatial relationships of the head, jaws and teeth, making use of landmarks or points on the skull. It is used for diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluating dentofacial changes during treatment. This book focuses on understanding the different cephalometric landmarks/points. Beginning with an introduction to the technique and classification of the landmarks, the following chapters explain each point in detail, by section of the head – cranial bones, facial bones and dentition, soft tissue, cervical bones and pharynx. The final sections discuss the different types of imaging used to trace cephalometric landmarks and their applications. Key points Presents technique of cephalometry to diagnose, and plan and evaluate treatment in orthodontics Describes every landmark by section of the head, including abbreviation, definition and applications Compares alternative radiological imaging techniques Includes more than 350 colour images and illustrations
Enhancement Orthodontics: Theory and Practice provides a concise and compact clinical guide to achieving esthetic results through orthodontics. Challenging the accepted wisdom of the past, it offers a fresh look at orthodontic treatment, using a patient-centered paradigm for enhancing the appearance, function, and health of the dentofacial features. A mixture of clinical cases and decision-making coaching delivers an easy-to-follow guide to the prevailing clinical scenarios and how to treat them. Dwelling not merely on the intra-oral results, Enhancement Orthodontics demonstrates how to employ whole-face analysis to improve overall dentofacial appearance.
Twin Block appliances are simple bite blocks that are designed for full-time wear. They achieve rapid functional correction of malocclusion (misalignment of upper and lower teeth) by the transmission of favourable occlusal forces to occlusal inclined planes that cover the posterior teeth. The forces of occlusion are used as the functional mechanism to correct the malocclusion (www.twinblocks.com). Beginning with an introduction to orthodontics and twin blocks, the next chapters describe growth studies and diagnosis and treatment planning. Each of the following sections discusses the use of twin blocks for different types of malocclusion. With a focus on the latest developments in functional ...
Textbook of Craniofacial Growth is a "one stop" guide to craniofacial growth and development, for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The book begins with the basics - biology of bone and cartilage, physiology of bone and craniofacial growth and development. Assisted by comprehensive flow charts and well-illustrated diagrams, the text then examines control mechanisms, development of dentition, temporomandibular joint, mycology, neuromuscular reflexes and the maturation of orofacial functions. Craniofacial anomalies and the influence of genetics on growth are also discussed, guiding students through normal versus subnormal growth.
The new edition of this textbook is a practical guide to dental anatomy, physiology and occlusion for students. Divided into nine sections, each chapter features numerous photographs, tables, boxes, flowcharts and diagrams with descriptions. The second edition has been fully revised to provide students with the latest advances in the field. A new chapter on tooth carving is included. Differences between types of tooth are illustrated in tabular form and a summary chart enables quick revision. MCQs are provided to help students prepare for theory and viva voce examinations. Key points Practical guide to dental anatomy, physiology and occlusion for students Fully revised, second edition with new chapter on tooth carving Includes summary charts and MCQs for quick revision Previous edition (9789350259405) published in 2013
