"This book is best suited for use by the undergraduate student butmay have interest for the general dentist wishing to further theirorthodontic knowledge. The treatment of simple malocclusions isemphasised which makes the book less suitable for the orthodontistor a postgraduate student, but the technical chapters would be ofbenefit to the training dental technician interested in theconstruction of orthodontic removable appliances."
