Comprehensive and accessible resource that covers all crucial aspects of dentofacial and occlusal asymmetries Dentofacial and Occlusal Asymmetries covers all crucial aspects of asymmetries encountered in the stomatognathic region regarding diagnosis, treatment planning, management, and prognosis. Divided into three core sections, the first part focuses on the etiology of asymmetry and whether it is congenital or acquired through disease or trauma. The second and third sections go on to discuss localization and management, providing information on topics such as interception, correction, and camouflage. Specific sample topics covered in the book include: Treatment approaches: interceptive, tooth movements, goal-oriented biomechanics, and jaw repositioningTreatment principles: dentofacial orthopedics, camouflage, and orthodontic-surgical treatmentLocalization and problem list: medical and dental history, clinical examination, dental cast analysis, and radiographic/imaging assessmentMedical, social and psychological aspects: growth disorders and helping children and their families with facial differencesWritten by a team of renowned experts in the field, Dentofacial and Occlusal Asymmetries will serve as an invaluable resource to postgraduates in orthodontic, pediatric dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery programs as well as orthodontists, pediatric dentists, pediatricians, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons aiming for optimal results in the diagnosis and management of these complex malocclusions and dentofacial deformities.

For almost 20 years, clear aligners have seen growing popularity in addressing patients' demands for orthodontic treatment that is also discreet and esthetically inconspicuous. Especially for the adult patient, these almost invisible systems are in considerable demand.Supported by solid clinical evidence, this new work introduces and discusses all the presently available thermoplastically formed products that apply a predetermined strain to the teeth and jaw, with the goal of correcting malpositioned teeth, while also being esthetically acceptable for the patient.Key Features:More than a dozen contributions by top international expertsIncludes the most recent guidelines on clinical management with alignersScientific approach presents evidence from material properties research, forces generated with aligners, and treatment outcome assessmentsValuable information on changes in oral microbiota, potential side effects, biocompatibility, and moreOrthodontic Aligner Treatment will be welcomed by all orthodontic specialists, as well as graduate students, researchers, and clinical faculty in the field.
