Index

"This text will be of interest to both the newly qualified
orthodontist, beginning to treat adult patients, and the more
experienced clinician interested in the evidence base behind
treatment philosophies for adults." (European
Journal of Orthodontics, 1 October 2013)

"In summary, this is a comprehensive and advanced insight
into adult ortho-dontics and one that would be
clini-cally relevant for any specialist who is involved in the
assessment and manage-ment of complex adult orthodontic
cases." (British Dental Journal, 28 September
2013)

"The book should be required reading for every
postgraduate orthodontic residency program. In addition, any
orthodontist treating adults needs to have this text on hand as an
important resource, and any other dental specialist participating
in the multidisciplinary treatment of adult cases should read it. I
have no doubt that this volume will instill greater confidence
among orthodontists and their colleagues when approaching the
treatment of adults. We all have been waiting for such a
text." (Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, 1
September 2012)
