Genetics in Orthodontics

The book of Genetics in Orthodontics has been written to simplify the understanding of the Role of Genetics in Orthodontics. Tools from genetics and applied translational research will permit precision Orthodontics. During the past 20 years, significant advancements in understanding the genomic basis of craniofacial development and the gene variants associated with dentofacial deformities have resulted in a convergence of the principles and concepts in genetics and in Orthodontics that will lead to significant advancement of Orthodontic treatments. A modern genomic basis will establish major improvements in the treatment of malocclusion and dentofacial deformities as well as many other areas of concern to Orthodontists through the assessment of gene variants on a patient-by-patient basis. This book will help the readers to understand the new concepts of Genetics which have been introduced in the field of Orthodontics.
