Dr. Edward Hartley Angle

Edward Hartley Angle (June 1 1855 – August 11 1930) was an American dentist widely regarded as the father of American orthodontics. He was trained as a dentist but made orthodontics his speciality and dedicated his life to standardizing the teaching and practice of orthodontics. He founded the Angle School of Orthodontia (1900) in St. Louis and schools in other regions of the United States.“Nobody can know much of science unless he understands its history.” - Edward H Angle.
