Orthodontics : Diagnosis And Management Of Malocclusion And Detofacial Deformities (Paperback)

This book is mainly designed for undergraduate students, but would also serve as a reference book for dental surgeons and graduates beginning to peruse postgraduate orthodontic studies as well. The book provides a broad, yet in-depth overview of the fundamentals of the biological basis of orthodontics, current and contemporary orthodontic diagnostic procedures, and therapeutic clinical procedures.
