“The most valuable part of this book is the problem-based learning approach to diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics and it will certainly be useful in this regard for specialist trainees and orthodontic therapists preparing for examinations.” (Orthodontics, 1 January 2013)

"This book is comprehensive and effective as it creates a vivid overall picture of orthodontic treatment. Students and established practitioners alike can benefit from this book and can glean a lot of information from the interesting way that its information is presented." (Journal of the Massachusetts Dental Society, 1 April 2013)

“Undeniably, this book meets its aims and is an excellent introduction to ‘bread-and-butter’ clinical orthodontics. Orthodontic trainees in their first years, and especially those learning with little clinical guidance from experienced orthodontists, will definitely find it a very valuable supplement to fundamental textbooks.” (European Journal of Orthodontics, 1 April 2013)
