Summary:

Cited in MLA's Master Guide...Health Sciences and a Doody's Core Titles selection. New lead author Graber, an orthodontist in private practice, et al. bring together an international group of orthodontists for this graduate orthodontics text that contains 30 chapters on aspects such as decision-making, diagnosis, psychological aspects, morphology, applications of bioengineering, adult issues, evidence-based approaches, and various appliances and treatments. This edition has been revised and updated to include recent concepts and techniques, such as temporary anchorage devices, self-ligating bracket biomechanics, clear aligner treatments, genetics, technological advances in imaging, craniofacial growth and development, and lasers. Some chapters have been consolidated or shortened, with selected material moved to the companion website, which includes a searchable version of the text, images, and case studies.
