Summary:

"Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions provides an evidence-based approach to early treatment of developing malocclusions, presenting treatment protocols for mixed-dentition patients with various malocclusions and other orthodontic problems. Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions are covered extensively, along with eruptive deviations and different malocclusions. The literature is comprehensively reviewed to ensure that the reader thoroughly understands the development, phenotypic characteristics, and etiology of each type of malocclusion. Taking a problem-oriented approach, the authors provide detailed information for each case, develop comprehensive problem lists, and then present evidence-based treatment solutions. This newly revised and updated Second Edition contains comprehensive updates to all chapters and sections, including dental trauma and its consequences and sleep apnea in children. Practical in approach but grounded in the literature, Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions is equally useful as a patient-side guide for clinicians and as a detailed reference for orthodontic and pediatric specialists and residents"-- Provided by publisher.
