This practical, state-of-the-art guide to the combined orthodontic-surgical correction of dentofacial deformities has been entirely revised and updated. The new second edition includes completely new chapters on patient evaluation and syndromes as well as updated information on the latest surgical techniques, including rigid fixation, surgical modeling and new material on bone grafting.

This new full-color reference and textbook on orthodontics and orthognathic surgery includes the latest content on surgical orthodontic techniques. Presenting the most comprehensive and sophisticated information available, it explores the integrated orthodontic and surgical management of patients with dentofacial deformity. Includes an entire section on diagnosis and treatment planning - with a strong emphasis on the diagnosis of soft tissue problems. Explains methods for treating certain dentofacial deformities with distraction osteogenesis. Provides current information on integrated treatment, where the orthodontist, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and/or the plastic surgeon work as a team to achieve the ideal result for each patient. Discusses the newest computer technology for prediction/imaging techniques to view the probable "after" results before treatment ever begins. Includes up-to-date content on surgical complications and how to manage these problems. Real-life case studies visually take the reader from pre-treatment to post-treatment for the many techniques taught in the book. Provides content on adolescent growth and its relation to orthodontic treatment, maturational changes, and the treatment of asymmetric facial deformities with surgery and orthodontics. Includes colorful cephalometric tracings to illustrate the before-and-after results of surgery. Pre- and post-surgery cephalometric radiographs show the changes to the structures of the face and jaws. Full-color images bring the tangible results of orthodontic and oral surgery treatment to life.

The second edition is expanded and rejuvenated with a greater focus on PG students, orthodontic educators, UG students and practitioners. The book covers entire panorama of science and clinical practice of orthodontics, from basics to clinical, presented in 58 chapters organised in 15 sections. The information is provided in-depth, literature supported, complimented with real life scenarios and case reports. A special effort has been made to include structured information on subjects of relevance which are much talked about but found only in journals.

In an organized, comprehensive, user-friendly style, this text presents state-of-the-art advances in orthodontics and surgical instrumentation, techniques, and adjunctive cosmetic procedures. It features coverage of conditions common to Class I, II, and III deformities, secondary cleft lip and palate dentofacial deformities, and nasal deformities associated with dentofacial deformities. Most of the chapters cover three major areas: most common orthodontic and surgical treatment of the deformity, adjunctive surgical techniques frequently helpful when added to the common' techniques, and alternate treatment approaches describing treatment of less common variations of the deformity. * Unique step-by-step approach to presurgical orthodontic treatment, immediate presurgical planning, surgical techniques, and postsurgical orthodontic treatment. * Takes the reader through the entire process from diagnosis of the deformity to postsurgical assessment of the correction. * Provides a detailed discussion of diagnosis and treatment planning of transverse discrepancies in the maxilla and mandible. * User-friendly appendix on facial skeleton growth includes methods of applying growth prediction and treatment planning to patient care. * Organized for quick and easy referral to practical information useful in clinical practice. * Focuses on patient assessment and awareness of psychological needs to encourage consideration of whole patient in treatment of deformities. * Depicts cosmetic procedures used to refine the esthetic results following orthognathic surgery, showing how to achieve overall improved patient results and satisfaction.
