Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions: A Problem-Oriented Approach to Orthodontics 1st Edition

Recognizing and Correcting Developing Malocclusions: A Problem-Oriented Approach to Orthodontics offers an evidence-based perspective on early treatment, a topic often surrounded by debate. Drawing from decades of clinical practice and education, Drs. Araújo and Buschang present clear treatment protocols for mixed-dentition patients facing various malocclusions and orthodontic issues. The book extensively covers Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions, as well as eruptive deviations and open-bite conditions. A thorough review of the literature ensures that readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the development, phenotypic characteristics, and etiology of each type of malocclusion. Adopting a problem-oriented approach, the authors provide detailed information for each case, create comprehensive problem lists, and offer evidence-based treatment solutions. The clinical focus of this text is ideally suited for practitioners in private practice, backed by numerous references and academic foundations to make it relevant for orthodontic and pediatric dentistry residents.
