"This is a fine addition to the literature that will be
useful to many practitioners as it is so comprehensive. I do not
know of any other book that covers this number of different
appliances with such good descriptions."
(Doody's, 13 December 2013)

"I found this book largely beneficial as it is not
profusely technical and so is easily understood by the general
dental audience. The proof of the success of the book is very much
evident in the 'test yourself' sections. I found after
reading it my knowledge had vastly improved, which was reflected in
my answers to the case discussions. So for anyone who wants a
better understanding of both removable appliances and retainers I
would highly recommend this book." (British Dental
Journal, 23 November 2013)

"Removable appliances are a more than useful adjunct to
comprehensive orthodontic treatment, and Drs Luther and Nelson-Moon
have produced an excellent text which brings removable appliances
right up to date for the 21st Century."
(Orthodontics, 1 October 2013)

"As a whole, this book is well organized, clear, and easy
to read. . . I also recommend this book to dental technicians as an
additional text for their training program."
(European Journal of Orthodontics, 1 August 2013)
