Book description
This is a major new work dedicated to the increasingly prominent area
of adult orthodontics. Written by renowned contributors from the
orthodontic community and beyond, and compiled by a world-class editor,
it provides an authoritative resource on the subject, marrying together
clinical guidance with a thorough evaluation of the evidence base. The
opening chapters provide the context for adult orthodontics, including
patient demographics and aetiology, and the book goes on to detail
treatment planning considerations, including patient case profiles,
suggesting initial outcomes and longer term expectations.
Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches are discussed,
including the links between adult orthodontics and periodontics,
prosthetics and temporomandibular disorders. The book is accompanied by
a website containing further examples of case studies and a wealth of
clinical images.
Set to become the gold standard resource on the subject, this book
will be invaluable to all those providing orthodontic treatment to
adults and those dealing with orthodontics as part of the
inter-disciplinary management of the adult dentition.
