Excess Face Height Malocclusion: Etiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment
by Sten Linder-Aronson and Donald G. Woodside
ISBN: 086715389x  Publisher: Quintessence, May 2000
$48.00  120 pages Hardcover

Review:
"This book is very useful for orthodontic or ENT students who are in the latter half of their residencies. Professionals who favor extraction mechanotherapy based on breathing issues or vertically oriented growth patterns whould also read this book as the statistics (and the photographs of the patients who had their tonsils and adenoids out) are very compelling. The subject is extremely important since it represents a significant percentage of the tougher cases that any professional who concentrates in facial growth will observe. I would recommend this book to any individual who is trying to understand why the vertical dimension of the face is so difficult to control."

$105.00 143 pages
Out of print - limited availability.

Book Description:
Modern materials, besides offering much improved physical characteristics have facilitated the availability of 'aesthetic' appliances. This resulted in an increase in the number of patients requesting treatment. Along with this, the readiness with which fixed appliances can now be provided has increased the danger of their being used in inexperienced hands. The purpose of this book is to provide the newcomer to orthodontics with an understanding of the basic principles involved as well as the mechanics appropriate for moving teeth with fixed appliances. It also gives general guidance on how to position teeth in order to achieve optimum functional and aesthetic results that will have long-term stability. The book emphasizes simplicity and clarity. It is profusely illustrated with numerous line drawings and color photographs. 'Fixed Orthodontic Appliances' should be essential reading for any graduate commencing orthodontic training, as well as for the interested general practitioner.

The Invisalign System by Orhan C. Tuncay, Editor
ISBN: 1850971277  Publisher: Quintessence, July 2006
$228  330 pages  Hardcover. This book is also listed under Cosmetic Dentistry.
Free shipping!

Book Description:
This is the first book to be published on the Invisalign System, and is designed for clinicians who want to integrate Invisalign into their practice. It provides the reader with an in-depth look at the technology, performance, and clinical applications of this uniquely esthetic and patient-friendly approach to orthodontic treatment. Unlike conventional fixed orthodontic treatment approaches, Invisalign is a system that uses the clinician’s diagnostic data to create a three-dimensional image of the desired course of tooth movement; treatment is then carried out using a series of custom-manufactured removable, clear plastic aligners. The book is full of full-color images that illustrate every step of this process: impression taking, image acquisition, and virtual diagnosis through digital three-dimensional treatment planning. Clinical considerations, such as indications and contraindications, esthetic analysis, and treatment of adolescents, are also discussed. In addition, the technology behind the Invisalign System - including software, appliance design, manufacturing, material properties, biomechanics of force systems applied to the teeth, and periodontal response to treatment - is presented in the context of how it currently functions as well as research and development for future innovations.
