The Alexander Discipline, Volume 3: Unusual and Difficult Cases

Was it Shakespeare who said, “Nothing lasts forever”? As the specialty of orthodontics continues

to evolve, my prayer is that it will focus on what is the proper and the best treatment

for the patient’s health and welfare. This book is therefore dedicated to future orthodontists.

Always remember that your success will come in your ability to “leave it better than you found

it.” I am talking about quality of treatment. As our specialty learns more and more about new possibilities

in orthodontic mechanics, the focus of treatment must continue to be what is best for the

patient. We must remain servants to our patients, whose treatment depends on our ability to address

problems and produce high-quality results. It has been a wonderful journey for me, and now the

baton is being passed onward to you, future orthodontists. Give it your best efforts so that one day

you can smile and pass it on to the next generation.
