With so many textbooks and a whole lot of journals, it becomes increasingly difficult for PG students to skim through them and come up with something that pleases the teachers.
As a thumb rule, NOTHING will please your teachers. BUT, a sincere effort surely will!
This list will keep changing and expanding as more and more topics/trends/techniques come to the fore.
Essential textbooks for reading (what will build for you a strong foundation for your orthodontic career)
PROFFIT - A textbook that will be read by you lifelong and each time that you read even as a practitioner you'll relearn something. Especially the sections on Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning
CLARK's - for twin block, one of the most versatile myofunctional appliances
GRABER RAKOSI PETROVIC - for principles of myofunctional appliances, cephalometrics for functional appliances, diagnosis and treatment planning for functional appliances. Extremely important from Exam point of view.
MBT - For principles of the MBT philosophy of treatment. Look meditatively at the finished results in this book and try to instill a sense of WHAT REALLY IS a finished case.
ALEXANDER DISCIPLINE - Though a couple of principles from the 20 that Wick has given to the world of Orthodontics may be redundant (e.g. the use of Headgears), this book should be read for instilling the concept of Discipline into your PG tenure. Discipline related to anything in Orthodontics will be the backbone of what you eventually make of yourself as an Orthodontist.
Truly E=R, go figure!
NANDA - Biomechanic and Esthetic strategies for Class II management
Since Class II constitutes one of the challenging cases and routine cases that we see in our population seeking treatment, read this book well for a beautiful clinical insight into its management.
BRANTLEY - Orthodontic materials
The last word on materials that comprise clinical orthodontics. Absolutely a must read
RECOMMENDED READING
FLETCHER - For the Begg technique
JAYADE - For refined Begg technique
OP KHARBANDA - For a great academic perspective of Indian clinical Orthodontics
PROFFIT WHITE - For surgical orthodontic treatment planning and orthognathic surgery
As a thumb rule, NOTHING will please your teachers. BUT, a sincere effort surely will!

Hi Dr.Arun, Iam Revathy., and I have just started my post graduation in orthodontics. Was googling to find out abt orthodontic blogs by Indian post graduates, that's when I stumbled upon this. If it won't be troublesome, can you also help with articles under what headings should be read from journals..? Thank you :)
