"This reviewer has never seen a publication with more illustrations and photographs, so if the ancient aphorism about a picture being worth a thousand words is true, then they have saved readers from several thousand unnecessary words. Each chapter contains sufficient bibliographies; the narratives are clear and concise, and the authors' intentions are easily understood. Residents and seasoned clinicians can easily benefit from this expansive coverage of topics vital to our patients' oral health." "The book is very detailed, and topics covered in extensive detail...it is very well written and easy to work through which is aided by the huge number of cases and diagrams. Question pages also help to engage the reader throughout the book." "Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, Dentofacial Orthopedics in the Growing Child: Understanding Craniofacial Growth in the Management of Malocclusions is an ideal textbook for orthodontics curriculums."

A clinical guide to understanding why malocclusions occur in children and how to diagnose and correct them early to reestablish normal growth using dentofacial orthopedics Dentofacial Orthopedics in the Growing Child: Understanding Craniofacial Growth and the Management of Malocclusion provides step-by-step guidance on diagnosing and treating malocclusions in young patients. The book addresses both class I, II and III malocclusions, and more complicated cases such as facial asymmetries and temporomandibular problems that develop in the primary dentition. Concise, highly illustrated chapters describe normal and abnormal craniofacial development, and how and why environmental factors can affect the growth pattern. Early diagnosis and treatment planning, long-term case resolution, complementary methods of diagnosis such as occlusion and cephalometric, and more are discussed. Children are not young adults so diagnostic methods which are regularly used can often misguide the clinician. Dentofacial Orthopedics in the Growing Child is an invaluable reference that guides pediatric dentists, orthodontists, general dentists, and maxillofacial and craniofacial surgeons with treating children.
