ORIGIN OF BRACES
Few specialties of medicine or dentistry can trace their origins to
just one person as easily as the study of orthodontics. Dr. Edward Ang1e
(1855-1930) is considered around the world to be the father of modern
orthodontics. Among his many accomplishments were the invention of the
edgewise appliances which are the "braces" in use by the majority
of the world's orthodontists, establishment of the world's first school
for orthodontic education in St. Louis in the year 1899, and finally
founder and first president of what was to become the American Association
of Orthodontists which has its national headquarters in St. Louis.
