This is a colour manual, aimed at practising orthodontists. It is a practical and highly illustrated guide to the use of the Twin Block functional appliance, written by the internationally known orthodontist who originated and developed the Twin Block technique. Since the publication of the first edition, much more evidence has emerged for the success of the technique, and this new and updated edition will incorporate that evidence.
