nice addition to the orthodontic library, June 06, 2009
By smiledoc (Crystal Lake, IL USA)

Not a basic book. There are many interesting orthodontic systems reviewed with the pro and con of each. The author does not indicate any "favorite". You will have to figure that out for yourself. Overall a nice addition, but not a cookbook of treatment.
