>Historical Note on the Dental Specialty known as Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics:

Orthodontics was the first organized specialty in the field of dentistry.  Its "founding father," Dr. Edward H. Angle and a dozen colleagues established the specialty over one hundred years ago, in 1900.  This group of individuals are considered the original members of the organization known as the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

The AAO remains to be the top governing body of our specialty. It has greatly expanded its role over the years to have both a national and international scope.

Annual AAO meetings are attended by the majority of the nation's orthodontists and often their staff members.  The centennial meeting recently took place in Chicago in May of 2000.

You can learn more about the AAO and about the field of orthodontics at the AAO website for consumers:

>Education ...
All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists can say they are orthodontists:

In addition to a college degree and a dental degree, all orthodontists go through an additional two-to-three years of residency training. Some dentists do orthodontics, but only those who have gone this extra mile can claim to be specialists.

See the Doctor Biography sectioin to find out more about Dr. Henry, his training and background.

>The American Board of Orthodontics:

Becoming board certified in orthodontics is a rigorous process, which takes several years. Board certification is not mandatory and therefore shows a dedication on the part of the orthodontist to reach the upper echelon of his or her profession.

Dr. Henry has completed Phase II of the three-phase examination.
