Orthodontics and Orthognathic Surgery: Diagnosis and Planning by Jorge Gregoret 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.
