DENTOFACIAL ORTHOPEDICS IN THE GROWING CHILD A clinical guide to understanding why malocclusions occur in children and how to diagnose and correct them early to reestablish normal growth using dentofacial orthopedics Dentofacial Orthopedics in the Growing Child: Understanding Craniofacial Growth and the Management of Malocclusion provides step-by-step guidance on diagnosing and treating malocclusions in young patients. The book addresses both class I, II and III malocclusions, and more complicated cases such as facial asymmetries and temporomandibular problems that develop in the primary dentition. Concise, highly illustrated chapters describe normal and abnormal craniofacial development, and how and why environmental factors can affect the growth pattern. Early diagnosis and treatment planning, long-term case resolution, complementary methods of diagnosis such as occlusion and cephalometric, and more are discussed. Provides clinicians with visual guidance on how to rapidly diagnose malocclusions Contains over 1,300 high-quality images of different Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions, including temporomandibular problems, both before and after correction, and long-term follow-ups Helps clinicians correct different malocclusions using the fewest number of appliances and in the least amount of time Includes tables of different cephalometric of before and after corrections for most clinical cases presented in the book Contains a chapter on how to communicate and bond with children as patients to help them understand the importance of wearing their appliances Children are not young adults so diagnostic methods which are regularly used can often misguide the clinician. Dentofacial Orthopedics in the Growing Child is an invaluable reference that guides pediatric dentists, orthodontists, general dentists, and maxillofacial and craniofacial surgeons with treating children.

This book is designed to help the clinician in the interception and correction of dental and skeletal problems in the primary, mixed and early permanent dentition. It focuses on orthopaedic techniques for the correction of facial skeletal problems All contributors have emphasised the evaluation of the components of the treatments, in order to achieve maximum results at minimal cost. The book also takes into consideration the sociological and psychological aspects of serious facial treatment on the growing child.

This book introduces readers to a methodology that will allow an accurate diagnosis and the choice of an adequate treatment and planning essential for better and more stable results on a step by step basis. Starting from an overview of the orthodontic problem, clinicians can readily integrate new and background knowledge, get beyond controversial topics and approaches thus optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that modern technology ahs now made available. The authors have laid the emphasis on the gnathological study suggesting its systematic use in the diagnostic process, as a growing awareness that teeth aesthetics at the expense of functional aspects often leads to relapses, unsatisfactory occlusal functioning and a negative impact on the TMJ. Finally the authors combine orthodontics and orthognathic surgery into a more comprehensive concept; an orthodontic surgical treatment which, on the basis of an in-depth diagnosis, adequate planning and visualization of therapeutic objectives, allows a better communication and tuning between orthodontists and surgeons.
