This book is truly the bible for orthodontics. It covers all aspects of orthodontics in detail with excellent diagrams and pictures. The only book you will need.

As an owner of the first version of this text, I can unequivocally say that this edition is a significant improvement. Much improved readability, use of color, and organization.

An Excellent Book for General Practioners contemplating orthodontics in their practice who want to understand more deeply the treatment they deliver.Not recommended for undergraduates as is too detailed.

Excellent new edition of the gold standard. Updated with new color pictures and new chapters on skeletal anchorage and temporary anchorage devices.

the book is fake its black and white and not colored. its not new as promise! dont buy from them

A good book about orthodontics, but Graber's is more complete.

A great Product!!!

Well organized and useful for looking at the basics. Greater detail and more case studies would have been useful. Overall a good starter text for orthodontic students and beginners.[...]
