Dr. Andrew Hamadi - See all my reviews

This review is from: Contemporary Orthodontics, 3e (Hardcover)

An Excellent Book for General Practioners contemplating orthodontics in their practice who want to understand more deeply the treatment they deliver.

Not recommended for undergraduates as is too detailed.
