This document provides a history of orthodontics, beginning with its origins in ancient civilizations. It discusses early Greek and Roman physicians like Hippocrates, Aristotle, and Galen and their contributions to understanding teeth and jaw development. The field advanced during the Renaissance with anatomists like da Vinci, Vesalius, and Eustachio. In the 18th century, pioneers like Fauchard, Hunter, and Blake helped establish orthodontics as a discipline. The document then outlines the development of orthodontics in the United States and Europe in the 19th century, including the founding of the first dental college. It concludes with brief biographies of several orthodontic innovators like Angle, Harris,

“Orthodontics includes the study of growth and
development of the jaws and face particularly
and the body generally, as influencing the
position of the teeth; the study of action and
reaction of internal and external influences on
the development, and the prevention and
correction of arrested and perverted
development.”

“Orthodontics is that specific area of the dental
profession that has its responsibility the study

development of dentition and its related
anatomical structures from birth to dental
maturity, including all preventive and
corrective procedures of dental irregularities
requiring the repositioning of teeth by
functional and mechanical means to establish
normal occlusion and pleasing facial contours.”

difficulty, and sometimes of impossibility to
rectify them.”

47. Robert Augustine (1854)
The correction of irregularities, however, easy
in theory, will be found most difficult and
delicate in practice; not only will much skill be

Upper first molars are the key to occlusion
and the most stable landmark in
craniofacial anatomy.
Upper & lower molars should be related so
that the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper
molar occludes in the buccal groove of the
lower molar.

occlusion.

any one facial form as
ideal.
69Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)

82Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
83. Charles H. Tweed
Charles H. Tweed applied
to the Angle school in
Pasadena in 1925 but was
refused admittance.
Angle told him to study
and to become more
serious about
orthodontics.
83Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
84. Angle and Tweed worked closely together
for the last two years of Angle's life.
Tweed made progress records of his
patients every 4 months. He packed the
records in a suitcase and took them to
Pasadena, where Angle studied them and
outlined a treatment plan for the next 4
months.
84Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
85. Angle was so pleased with Tweed's work,
that he was instrumental in making it
possible for Tweed to be invited to give
lectures at several orthodontic meetings.
In 1932, Tweed published his first article
in The Angle Orthodontics. It was titled
"Reports of Cases Treated with the
Edgewise Arch Mechanism."
85Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
86. Tweed held to Angle's firm conviction that
the practitioner must adhere to the line of
occlusion concept and never extract teeth.
But little did he know...
86Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
87. After 5 years of orthodontic practice,
Tweed became disheartened with his work
for two reasons:
1) the protrusive faces that he was creating.
2) the unstable dentition.
He resolved to study his many failures and
his few successes.
87Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
88. Tweed’s conclusion:
1) The patients who had pleasing facial
balance and harmony also had mandibular
incisors that were upright over basal bone.
2) The carefully planned extractions allowed to
improve appearance as well as stability
88Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
89. By 1940 he had records of 100 patients,
treated first without extractions and then
retreated with extractions.
He put these patient records on display at
an American Association of Orthodontists
(AAO) meeting.
“Just put your plaster on the table."
89Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
90. Angle gave orthodontics the edgewise
bracket, but Tweed gave orthodontists a
way to use it.
He devoted all 42 years of his professional
life to the use and refinement of Angle's
invention, the edgewise appliance.
90Dept. of dentistry-PG section, IOM (2011)
92. Not a single person dominated.
