""This reviewer has never seen a publication with more illustrations and photographs, so if the ancient aphorism about a picture being worth a thousand words is true, then they have saved readers from several thousand unnecessary words. Each chapter contains sufficient bibliographies; the narratives are clear and concise, and the authors’ intentions are easily understood. Residents and seasoned clinicians can easily benefitfrom this expansive coverage of topics vital to our patients’ oral health."

"The book is very detailed, and topics covered in extensive detail...it is very well written and easy to work through which is aided by the huge number of cases and diagrams. Question pages also help to engage the reader throughout the book."
- Charlotte Vine, Published in British Dental Journal (April 23)
"Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "Dentofacial Orthopedics in the Growing Child: Understanding Craniofacial Growth in the Management of Malocclusions" is an ideal textbook for orthodontics curriculums."
