Who was the inventor of the job orthodontist?

Answer 1

James TenBrook, DMD, MMSc, has dedicated a substantial amount of energy to the field of orthodontics. Since he began practicing nearly 20 years ago, TenBrook has sought ways to better his technique and his practiceThe result of TenBrook's commitment to improvement is what's known as the TenBrook self-ligating system. The system is a combination of a specialized bracket (designed by TenBrook) and a specific treatment technique (also designed by TenBrook) that enables patients to spend less time in braces and experience, according to TenBrook, virtually no pain.

Although the TenBrook self-ligating system is virtually painless for wearers, the road to its development was anything but for its inventor. The system is the result of many years' worth of trial, error, setback, and success.

Orthodontics (from Greek orthos "straight or proper"; and odons "tooth") is the specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic treatment can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal with the control and modification of facial growth.
