5Preface
The Mini Atlas in Orthodontics, is a small effort to spread the knowledge of orthodontics. An atlas, with its inherent concept of illustrations and photographs provides a visual impact that is required to understand the various clinical situations.
This atlas will not only be an aid for the clinicians but shall also serve as a visual guide to educate the patients. Such visual aids provide a reason for the patients to think and at times correlate the photographs with their own conditions—thus seeking treatment.
Basic knowledge is provided and has been further simplified with the aid of photographs depicting individual situations for easy understanding. Orthodontics is a vast science today and the mini atlas is only a small, yet basic part of this science.
Gurkeerat Singh
6Acknowledgements
No publication is produced just by the hard work and labor of the author or the editor. This atlas has been compiled because of my dear patients, who have been gracious enough to tolerate my photographic skills and my co-clinicians—Dr Abhay Lamba, Dr Rajesh Ahal, Dr Vishal Singh and Dr Pankaj Dutta who have contributed to produce not just great smiles for the patients but picture perfect results which we are proud to show-case here.
Dr Ankur Kaul and Dr Aditya Chhibber are not just my colleagues in the department at the college but my best critics. It is their untiring effort that motivates me to gather more relevant and better quality photographs for this atlas. Last but not the least—the members of the Jaypee team keep any author on his / her toes in order to produce results and I am no exception.
