Three-dimensional views provide insight revealing the factors that affect the way the dentition develops in the growing face and the role that function plays in that process. The relationship of the developing dentition to jaw size and jaw growth and associated variations in the development of the dentition are elucidated. This volume also describes both the primary factor and the associated deviations that develop in each type of malocclusion, providing a basis for efficient treatment approaches. Emphasis is placed on deviating development that can be interrupted by interception procedures, leading to spontaneous corrections and favourable conditions for initiating orthodontic treatment.
