Evidence-Based Clinical Orthodontics

Despite the growing number of orthodontic journals and textbooks available today, many clinical decisions still rely on anecdotal evidence or the treatment philosophies promoted by current speakers in the field.

The authors of this book take an objective stance on orthodontics by systematically reviewing relevant clinical literature and analyzing scientific evidence to assist practitioners in choosing the most effective and efficient treatment methods. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic, summarizing the literature, critically evaluating the evidence, and providing impartial recommendations for clinical practitioners.

Topics covered include Class II and Class III malocclusions, wire types and sequences, dental asymmetries, causes of root resorption, and retention strategies, among others.
