Foreword
It was a great honour to have been asked to prepare this foreword for the very first edition of a textbook specifically aimed at orthodontic therapists.
In the past decade, orthodontics as a whole has increased exponentially and hence the demand for orthodontic therapists has proportionally increased. They have to cover a large aspect of orthodontics, similar to a three‐year postgraduate orthodontic degree, but in a third the time and almost as much information!
I recommend this book to all orthodontic therapists as it is designed to impart clinical and theoretical knowledge effectively into daily clinical practice. Most importantly it has the best interests of existing and future generations of patients in mind.
The goal of the author has been to put forward information in a logical sequence that will help train both experienced and training therapists alike.
The layout facilitates ease
