- Updated content on biomechanics gives clinicians ways to plan appropriate orthodontic appliance systems through which mechanotherapy is delivered using principles of forces.
- Updated information on mechanical devices, such as transplants, transpositions, implants, and temporary anchorage using mini screws, provide an understanding on how these devices can affect orthodontic treatment and what is available on the market to improve treatment outcomes.
- Appliance chapters have been condensed to reflect only the most useful and contemporary materials.

Published Reviews
- “Largely because of the improved layout and especially the wealth of colour illustrations, the book is much improved and easier to read. It also contains an excellent and very comprehensive 33-page index.”
