Explore a bold new theory on why teeth misalign and how to prevent and treat it.
This classic work links jaw growth, tongue size, and posture to dental irregularities, offering a fresh perspective for clinicians and students alike.
The book presents a comprehensive argument that functional activity and environmental factors shape dental development, and it discusses how these ideas can be put into practice. It also examines common problems such as irregularities of incisors, open bite, and protrusion, and it explains how prevention and treatment can be approached with a unified theory in mind. The author contrasts current dental ideas with his own theory, offering practical insights for everyday care.
