The initial eight chapters provide a synthesis of the wide variety of treatments currently available for malocclusions in the sagittal, transverse, and vertical dimensions. The subsequent chapters describe the details of clinical management of fixed appliance therapy (e.g., bracket placement and design - including self-ligating brackets, orthodontic bonding, archwire sequencing, transpalatal arch and utility arch management). Dentofacial orthopedics, including rapid maxillary expansion and extraoral traction, as well as functional jaw orthopedics (Herbst, Twin Block, FR-2 of Fränkel, Bionator) and molar distalizing appliances (Pendulum, Distal Jet, Wilson distalizing arch) then are considered. The management of Class III malocclusion with the orthopedic facial mask, the chin cup and the FR-3 of Fränkel also are discussed in detail. The book also includes two extensive chapters on interdisciplinary treatment written by Vincent G. Kokich, as well as chapters on finishing and retention protocols. The clinical and cephalometric evaluation of the orthodontic patient and the relationship of orthodontic treatment, occlusion, and temporomandibular disorders also are presented. In essence, this book represents an extensive continuing education experience for the practicing orthodontist.

This 2nd Edition includes new, updated chapters that deal with important issues and were written by orthodontists known worldwide. Dr Dr Bernd Lapatki presents an outstanding chapter about Early treatment of Class II Div. 2 and Coverbite, that provides a step-by-step description on how to treat these malocclusions using different alternatives. In addition to this topic, Dr Amit Bhardwaj shares the following question, is early Class II treatment worth the effort? Dr Somchai Satravaha added a new chapter about the benefits of early treatment in cleft lip palate patients and long-term controls, where she discusses all the benefits. Digital technology is here to stay forever. Dr Bryce Lee explains how this technology can help us to achieve a better diagnosis and treatment plan. Dr Julia Harfin add new chapters including relevant topics as mandibular incisor agenesis ,impacted central incisors and, how to avoid long term relapse in early orthodontic treatment. She also updates other chapters. The most important controversies are discussed in detail and which will allow doctors to expand their knowledge in order to achieve better orthodontic treatment results. New topics such as orthodontic treatment in patients with hemophilia and diabetes are also discussed by Dr Eduardo Rey and Olga Ramos. The book, which is the result of many years of clinical practice, includes numerous clinical photographs that clearly exemplify how to diagnose and to treat all these patients. It is written by the most experienced team of doctors in the field and will be a valuable asset for all who specialize in odonto pediatrics and orthopedic-orthodontic treatments.

Establishing the most favorable moment to initiate orthodontic treatment requires an understanding of craniofacial anatomy and development as well as some training in child psychology. This manual explores these concepts in detail to address when treatment should begin, which techniques should be used, how to form a precise diagnosis, and how to choose the therapy best suited to a patient.
