The aim of this book is to guide and inform dental nurses who have little or no experience in the practice of orthodontics and hence would be suitable for general dental nurses, trainee dental nurses who are actively assisting in an orthodontic department, those in a specialist practice or those who work with a visiting orthodontist in general practice.
On the positive side; the book is divided into 27 easy-to-read chapters, which range from attending your first appointment, through to describing malocclusions, fitting a removable, fixed or functional appliance (including a step-by-step guide of what a dental nurse would need to prepare for each appointment), and ending with a section on adult orthodontics, including information on lingual brackets.
The Glossary of Terms is a welcome useful addition to those who are unfamiliar with the terminology.
There is also a very interesting chapter with photographs and a description of the most commonly used instruments and auxiliaries used in orthodontics.
