Diagnosis of the Orthodontic Patient This concise book provides a sound basis in orthodontic diagnosis for both dental students and general dental practitioners. Following an introductory chapter on the development of normal occlusion, the authors offer a clear overview of the diagnostic process. They look at how both local and general factors affect the final treatment plan and the advantages of different management strategies. Diagnosis of the Orthodontic Patient includes over 150 illustrations, five genuine clinical cases, a chapter on evidence-based practice, and a glossary of terms.
An Evaluation of Orthodontic Practice Management Software: Maximizing the Return on the Investment of the Orthodontist Practice management software is a computer program that integrates and organizes the administrative and clinical areas of practice. It is expected that by using this software, practices will become better managed and as a result, more profitable. However, a number of unfortunate shortcomings of such software prevent it from truly maximizing its potential. Assessing the levels of satisfaction associated with the use of practice management software has become a subject of some debate in recent years. Research exploring the features and components of practice management software has already been conducted for general dentistry. Still, research is lacking on the degree of satisfaction with the different types of orthodontic practice management software. Thus, the principal focus of this research is to compare the different types of orthodontic practice management software available to orthodontists. The levels of importance and satisfaction of features for various orthodontic software programs currently available were assessed by using a questionnaire. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences (p < .05) amongst the different software programs.
Orthodontic Management of the Dentition with the Pre-adjusted Appliance This practical, highly illustrated guide presents an innovative, organized approach to essential topics in orthodontics such as crowding, spacing, tooth size discrepancies, and management of common ectopic eruption problems and impactions. Its unique approach focuses on the treatment mechanics of each individual tooth involved, rather than the dentition as a whole.
- Addresses the management of individual teeth within the dentition using the preadjusted appliance - the most popular orthodontic appliance worldwide.
- Written by an internationally-known and respected author team, for an expert, authoritative treatment of the Subject.
- Focuses on situations frequently seen in the day-to-day practice of orthodontics, making this book clinically relevant for practitioners.
- Illustrates the practical application of the procedures discussed with 30 real-world case studies.
- Lavishly illustrated with high-quality color photographs and clear line diagrams to clarify important concepts.

Biomechanics and Esthetic Strategies in Clinical Orthodontics This text provides state-of-the-art reference on the successful application of biomechanics in clinical orthodontics. It features comprehensive guidance on basic biomechanic principles to orthodontic problem resolution by focusing on the fundamentals. Also including new, cutting edge topics, this book shows how all techniques can apply biomechanical principles to improve the force delivery, understand and prevent side effects, and achieve predictable results. * Full-color illustrations help the reader visualize and grasp key concepts. * Line drawings accompany clinical photos to clarify important information and techniques. * Chapters are organized from the most common to least common orthodontic problems, creating an easy-to-follow layout that makes the topics easy to find. * Inclusion of cutting edge topics such as skeletal anchorage, esthetic concepts, interdisciplinary treatment, biomechanical factors, biology of tooth movement, and management of orthodontic problems presents current trends in orthodontics. * Information on the latest advances in the use, selection, and properties of orthodontic wires exhibits all viable options for important decision-making. * Comprehensive coverage of diagnosis, treatment planning, and biomechanical strategies provides knowledge of how to apply specific mechanisms to specific problems. * Simplified approach makes biomechanics easy to understand and implement.<
Tip-Edge Orthodontics and the Plus Bracket This comprehensive guide on the innovative Tip-Edge appliance introduces the concept of differential tooth movement into what is essentially a straight-wire bracket system. Prepared by a world-renowned expert, the second edition of this highly illustrated atlas explains the Tip-Edge technique from first principles and now includes important advances in the field, in particular the Plus bracket, an innovation which will greatly enhance the use of this rapidly emerging technique.
