Orthodontics: Principles and Practice by T M Graber published almost 30 years back, is still one of the most widely read textbooks in the field of orthodontics. Though many textbooks have been published subsequently, this book even now retains its charm and position as the best textbook for the basic topics in orthodontics. This new Indian version of Graber comes out maintaining the vintage quality of Graber with recent updates. It is rechristened as “Basic Principles and Practice,” with the idea to bring out an orthodontic textbook, which deals exclusively with the fundamental concepts that have stood the test of time, at the same time incorporating the latest developments.
