Review

“This book is clearly written for the British market; the patient information leaflets issued by the British Orthodontic Society are widely referred to, there is a chapter dedicated to ‘orthodontic therapists′ and the book refers to the General Dental Council of the United Kingdom and its regulatory framework for dental care professionals (dental technicians, nurses, and therapists).” (European Journal of Orthodontics, 2011)”This book is all you need to know about assisting in orthodontic care delivery and is an invaluable learning tool and reference for all the orthodontic team .” (British Dental Association, 1 April 2011)

“Grist (senior orthodontic nurse, Worthing Hospital) introduces the tools and procedures for assisting an orthodontist chairside, and outlines what to prepare so that treatment can be undertaken as efficiently as possible.” (SciTech Book News, December 2010)

The must have book for orthodontic nurses, 23 Oct 2010

All the things you need to know for the orthodontic nurses exam

Good price
It was very clear and good read

A ‘must read’ for all dental nurses working in orthodontics, 23 Sep 2010

This is a long-overdue book for dental nurses working in orthodontics – both in practice and hospital settings. It is written in an easy to read style which encourages the reader to keep turning the page. The sequencing of the chapters is logical and takes the reader on the orthodontic journey, from placement of appliances to debond and retention, with the patient. It is an excellent hands-on book for chairside nursing, each procedure being described with step-by-step instructions, and the nurses’ role highlighted in italics. Photographs of orthodontic instruments and materials will allow the trainee nurse to familiarise herself with the necessary equipment. In addition to routine orthdontic procedures, the book covers more complex treatment such as management of cleft lip and palate, orthognathic surgery and mandibular advancement appliances for OSA and snoring. There are chapters supporting dental nurses’ professional development with advice on the Certificate in Orthodontic Nursing and Orthodontic Therapy. This book is essential reading for all trainee orthodontic dental nurses, and should be found on the bookshelf of all orthodontic practices and departments for nurses to dip in and out of. Highly recommended!
