Handbook of Orthodontics

A handbook on orthodontics, detailing various aspects of the specialty, from foundational principles to clinical practice. The content covers the complexities of clinical research in orthodontics, discussing the limitations and benefits of different study designs like Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) and case-control studies, and the importance of sample size and analysis methods like Intention-To-Treat (ITT). Furthermore, the source provides an overview of craniofacial growth and development, including the mandible and maxilla, the aetiology of malocclusion concerning both genetic and environmental factors, and the classification of dental relationships such as Angle's molar classification. Finally, the text explores orthodontic mechanics, appliance systems (fixed, removable, functional, and clear aligners), skeletal anchorage, management of the developing dentition, and the various risks and psychological benefits associated with treatment, including diagnosis using radiographic techniques and the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN).
