AIRWAY AND ORTHODONTICS

This book is a comprehensive word that focuses on oropharyngeal airway and its relationship with growth and development of an individual and that with orthodontic treatment. The book is an in-depth and extensive document with updated references that provide information on the anatomy of airway, different methods to assess the airway dimensions with clinical and other diagnostic aids. It also provides well documented information on the oropharyngeal airway dimensions seen in different malocclusions and different oro-facial abnormalities. The subsequent chapters explain the effect of different orthodontic treatment modalities on oropharyngeal airway dimension.This book presents the orthodontist a foresight of changes in airway dimensions that would occur with growth and development of patient and with orthodontic treatment. Thus, empowering the orthodontist to formulate appropriate treatment plan taking in consideration of the dynamics of respiratory phenomenon.
