User’s Reviews

Review “This is a fine addition to the literature that will be useful to many practitioners as it is so comprehensive. I do not know of any other book that covers this number of different appliances with such good descriptions.” (Doody’s, 13 December 2013) “I found this book largely beneficial as it is not profusely technical and so is easily understood by the general dental audience. The proof of the success of the book is very much evident in the ‘test yourself’ sections. I found after reading it my knowledge had vastly improved, which was reflected in my answers to the case discussions. So for anyone who wants a better understanding of both removable appliances and retainers I would highly recommend this book.” (British Dental Journal, 23 November 2013) “Removable appliances are a more than useful adjunct to comprehensive orthodontic treatment, and Drs Luther and Nelson-Moon have produced an excellent text which brings removable appliances right up to date for the 21st Century.” (Orthodontics, 1 October 2013) “As a whole, this book is well organized, clear, and easy to read. . . I also recommend this book to dental technicians as an additional text for their training program.” (European Journal of Orthodontics, 1 August 2013) From the Inside Flap Orthodontic Retainers and Removable Appliances – Principles of Design and Use is a unique practical guide for dental students, general dental practitioners, orthodontic students, therapists and others who have an interest in knowing how to design, fit, adjust and maintain retainers (both fixed and removable) and removable orthodontic appliances.

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ The textbook is highly recommended to orthodontic professionals to review the diversity of options in retention, treatment of minor to more complex cases by removable appliances or just using them for achieving specific orthodontic goals.

⭐ Good quality

⭐ Most people reviewing this book are evidently not in “the business”, so seem to be commenting on page layout and so on. I think I’ll avoid all that and just get to that content. The book focusses on the practical matters of designing orthodontic retainers and other appliances. It’s a book mainly aimed at students, but because it covers the latest orthodontic techniques and technology, it would make very interesting reading for a professional orthodontist, or for a dental technician who wants to move into this profitable area of specialization.If you are not in the profession, but you happen to need a retainer, or you have a child that does, this book is a terrific resource to inform you about the options available to you, so that you may discuss the matter with your practitioner with knowledge that will surely surprise and impress them, and perhaps save you some money!The content is easy on the eye, colourful (lots of illustrations and photographs), and is informative. It provides plenty of step-by-step walk-throughs of design and fitting procedures, plus care plans and, of course, the small matter of dealing well with patients. It has received high praise from the British Dental Journal, the European Journal of Orthodontics, and other relevant luminary bodies, as a leading work on the subject.For an all-round accessible and practical exploration of the subject, this book is hard to beat. It is certainly one to retain for future reference.

⭐ This orthodontics design book is unique as it ISN’T immediately intimidating. HALLELUJAH!I like the magazine-style 2-column layout, and the ratio of whitespace. It’s so much easier on the eyes. It makes it easier to read and navigate.The colour photographs, illustrations diagrams are first class and they really make this book.Chapter 6 seems like excellent revision and the kind of thing that would come up in Oskeys (OSCII?) tests. Photographs of patients, including children, taken from the side + from the front and intra-oral photos. Case studies and stuff..- For example, there’s one of a girl with “buck teeth” (to use the lay term – LOL) and her front incisors remind me of Bugs Bunny. Anyway, she’s worried about her appearance and the case-study question asks you to consider how she might be treated.(I would especially recommend this text if you are studying at Leeds, because of the background of the author. She was formerly Editor in Chief for the Journal of Orthodontics, so I’m especially impressed that she is able to write in language that isn’t loaded with impenetrable jargon. It must be hard for authors like that to resist the temptation.)

⭐ This book has kerb appeal as it is bright, easy to read and full of illustrations and real life photographs which follow the changes in various cases of orthodontic treatment and illustrate the improvements which have been achieved.It gives information in a very practical and concise way on the principles which need to be applied when undertaking ‘interceptive’ treatment and the design of the particular appliances in this specialist area where there are not many easy to understand books available.An important area which the book covers is when a ‘standard’ appliance is appropriate, and when specialist advice should be sought. In this respect the very useful ‘Test Yourself’ section can help those in the field as well as students studying in this area in this type of assessment.

⭐ I am a dental phobist, ok not sure that is even a word but anyway.I had not been to the dentist in over 20 years until recently and i got lucky as my young dentist is fab and really listens to me.He told me i needed braces, i said i would think about it, i saw this book on offer in vine to review for free and grabbed it to look.My personal opinion is that it is a brilliant and informative text, very detailed with instructions and photographs of actual cases.However looking at what happens has convinced me that no dentist no matter how patient they are is ever going to put braces in my mouth.Excellent reference book for dental students or nurses though.

⭐ Aged 14, I had by two front teeth accidently knocked out by a golf ball struck by, of all things, a Sunderland supporter who was at the time, nominally a friend. As the years have gone by I’ve been plagued by having to wear a partial denture and as a Newcastle fan I’ve harboured intense feelings of hatred towards the guy who did it. If I ever met him again I might reciprocate the arrangement he’s forced me to endure.Never mind, this book keeps one up to date with the options out there, together with all the additional information that would be very useful for the dental technicians and dentists in practice.

⭐ Well I know this subject isn’t everybody’s idea of a leisurely read but this is a great book actually for those interested in the field. It’s laid out in an accessible, ‘magazine’ style which gives it plenty of space for pictures and words. It’s size also keeps the page count down which makes this a very handy reference book, well presented and bang up date in its information which is thankfully written in plain English. Good stuff, if detailed information on teeth braces is what you need.

⭐ I gave this to my friend to review as she’s about to start to tutor in Oral Health. She said that it’s an extremely valuable tool for her with plenty of information she can use as teaching aids. The photos are comprehensive and informative and she feels that it will be of use to her (and colleagues) in everyday work situations in her current job as an Oral Health educator and Dental Nurse.

⭐ In the fast developing world of dentistry,the area covered in ‘Orthodontic Retainers and removable Appliances: Principles of design and use’ by Friedy Luther and Zararna Nelson-Moon has seen great strides in recent years. Aimed at students and practitioners,the book offers straightforward advice and guidance in all relevant areas.An essential read for students who are advancing on their finals.
