This volume is the passionate brainchild of many hands, featuring the work of members of several notable orthodontics schools, including Milan, Chieti, L’Aquila, Madrid, Naples, and Messina. The content of this book is based on years of experience and research on the part of professionals from the 30-year-old Orthodontic School of Milan. Every effort is made to ensure the development of the fundamental principle on which this school is based – concentrating on a holistic approach to patient care rather than relying on the mechanistic vision of most orthodontic philosophies.
