The second edition of this popular textbook covers the theoretical
basis and clinical practice of orthodontics, with particular focus
on an evidence-based approach. Characterised by a clear writing
style and use of pedagogic features designed to make learning easy,
the Handbook of Orthodontics 2e contains numerous 'pull-out' boxes
to aid retention of key facts as well as highlighted
essential-references within the text to indicate the associated
research. A useful detailed explanation of the key papers is also
provided within the bibliography. Exploring the concepts of
occlusion and malocclusion, craniofacial development and postnatal
growth, the Handbook of Orthodontics 2e explores orthodontic tooth
movement, patient examination and diagnosis, and treatment planning
- including the use of contemporary removable and fixed appliances.
Chapters then explore the management of problems in the mixed and
permanent dentitions in detail, as well as different treatment
modalities, and orthognathic surgery. Cleft lip and palate, and
