Required reading for orthodontics class for dental training at University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. Not sure what edition was out when I read it. It's dry, academic reading but necessary information for those in the dental field--at least at that time.

Probably the best orthodontic reference book out there. But only for an orthodontist. Otherwise, it might not make sense.
