"Dean of the Philadelphia Dental College, Simeon Hayden Guilford, A.M., D.D.S., Ph.D. (1841-1919) undertook the first course in orthodontia for undergraduates, for which he wrote [this] the first text, which was ultimately printed in four editions and several foreign languages. One of the few dentists of his era to receive formal training in dentistry, his broad education, combined with his determination to expand the horizons of dentistry - and particularly orthodontics - earned him a distinguished place in orthodontic history" Milton B. Asbell, AJODO, March 1998. "Leads the student step by step from the simplest beginnings to the more complicated and difficult work of practical treatment. To this end, the underlying principles of the art are first elucidated, after which the principal methods employed are explained, and lastly the correlation of principles and methods is shown in their practical application to typical cases. In Part III, the different forms of irregularity, together with a variety of plans for their correction, are arranged under such headings and in such order as to be readily referred to in seeking aid for cases that occur in office practice." - v.
