Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

More than a century after the birth of functional orthodontic therapy, this unique work records the ideas, developments, and prospects of this fascinating discipline. The Masters of Functional Orthodontics assesses the broad therapeutic potential of the field, in part through a critical review of its history, from its origins to the present day, and in part through biographies of its founding fathers, rich in the details of their philosophies, their daily lives, and the events and people that surrounded them and helped shape their work. The book features numerous archival photos and illustrations, many of them published for the first time. Anyone interested in this subject will find this book a delight to read.ContentsPreface AcknowledgmentsPresentation by Prof Guiseppe ArmocidaForeword by Dr Hans Peter Bimler Review and Outlook on Orthodontics by Dr Hans Peter BimlerForeword by Dr Thomas M.
