This book is aimed at the undergraduate dental student, the general dental practitioner with an interest in orthodontics, and students at the start of their postgraduate orthodontic training.

- Exclusively about treatment planning—what to do, how to plan, how to change the treatment plan along the way as the needs of the patient change
- Written in a user-friendly, accessible manner so that information can be picked up quickly and the cases at the end of the book show the reader how to put what they have learned into practice
- Promotes an holistic approach to treatment planning in line with current teaching methods
