"This excellent new textbook was written primarily for undergraduate dental students but there is no doubt it would also prove useful for postgraduate students starting their study for an MSc in orthodontics, and also for practitioners who have an interest in orthodontics or who wish to have a wider understanding of treatment concepts so that they can discuss treatment more readily with their patients... I would have no reservations at all in recommending this book to undergraduates, postgraduates or general dental practitioners; it would be a useful addition to any bookshelf." - Dental Practice, Vol 42, No 4
