'...a jewel, a true diamond for the specialty. The presentation, the different chapters are unique, all the photographs and diagrams are fabulous. There was a need for this book for a long time...residents in Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery need to be exposed to the "State of the Art" in this unique junction between the two specialties. Postgraduate students will be exposed to the principles of Orthodontics and Surgery and help patients for generations to come...ordering and sequencing was extraordinary, and inviting the Father of Orthognathic Surgery to bring his best cases and original explanations make the book a true milestone for the years to come...the greatest contribution made to Orthognathic Surgery since William Bell and Hugo Obwegeser's books.' Professor Cesar Guerrero

'A definitive tome... multi-authored by a wide range of clinicians with a huge range of expertise, and covers all aspects of orthognathic surgery... more than just another orthodontic-surgical textbook...definitely belongs in the library of all departments that undertake orthognathic surgery. It is beautifully illustrated throughout and contains numerous clinical cases...extraordinary range of the different authors, which includes not just surgeons and orthodontists but psychologists, speech and language therapists, nutritionists and even a patient!...a pleasure to read.' (Journal of Orthodontics, 44:2, 2017)

'This textbook is unique. There are 61 chapters and 95 contributing authors. The book begins with a wonderful introductory chapter on the historical background of orthognathic surgery written by the father of modern orthognathic surgery, Prof. Hugo Obwegeser. As Dr Naini is an orthodontist, he has included many chapters on pre-operative and post-operative orthodontic consideration for orthognathic surgery. The details about surgical technique are also covered in detail. This book should be added to the catalogue of must-read books for both oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists.' (Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 39:20, 2017)

'This text addresses all aspects of orthognathic surgery. It is separated into two parts, the first on principles and treatment planning and the second on clinical practice, including meticulous instructions for surgical planning and specific techniques for an impressive number of dentofacial deformities. Each chapter contains tables, case studies, and graphs to enhance the concepts described. With contributions from a number of experts, this book will be a valuable resource for practicing oral surgeons, as well as for those clinicians and students wanting to improve their surgical skills.'
