Description

Hailed as 'superb', 'thorough', and 'contemporary', this is the essential orthodontics text for all staff involved in orthodontic treatment, whether they are dental students, orthodontic therapists, postgraduate students at the beginning of their career, or more experienced clinicians wanting an evidence-based, concise update on the foundations of contemporary orthodontic care.

With over 700 illustrations and plenty of case studies, An Introduction to Orthodontics, Fifth Edition is a user-friendly introduction to the subject. Continuing its well-deserved reputation, it is the perfect starting point for learning key concepts and the practical aspects of orthodontics.

The new fifth edition has been completely updated to reflect contemporary practice, including a new chapter dedicated to hypodontia and orthodontics, and a new chapter on the fastest growing area in orthodontics, clear aligners.

Readers will find further reading and references at the end of each chapter, including references to appropriate Cochrane Reviews to aid revision and support clinical practice. Learning objectives, key point boxes, and instructive artwork make this an essential text for busy readers who need focused and practical learning.

New to this Edition:

  • • Two new chapters on "Hypodontia and Orthodontics" and "Clear Aligners"
  • • Completely updated including changes in practice, teaching and the use of technology in orthodontics
  • • Addition of new artwork, references, and Cochrane Reviews
  • • New contributions from experts
