With Angle the specialty of orthodontics received a new impetus. He coined the term malocclusion to refer to anomalies of tooth position and classified various abnormalities of the teeth and jaws, invented appliances for their treatment and devised several surgical techniques as well. Angle standardized appliances in a series of books and pamphlets, including a text that he authored, Treatment of Malocclusion of the Teeth and Fractures of the Maxillae: Angle's System.

History of Orthodontics Dr. Introduction 5. Ever since Eve flashed Adam her first grin, we have been concerned about our smile. Appliances for aligning teeth go as far back as the Egyptians even more ancient. From evidence found in human skulls, crooked teeth have been around since the time of Neanderthal man about 50, bc , but it was not until about years ago that we had the first written record of attempts to correct crowded or protruding teeth.
Primitive and surprisingly well-designed orthodontic appliances have been found with Greek and Etruscan artifacts. Archaeologists have discovered Egyptian mummies with crude metal bands wrapped around individual teeth. It is speculated that catgut was used to close the gaps The Etruscans The earliest evidence of appliances being used to straighten teeth is from around BC Weinberger, The Etruscans, an ancient civilization predating the Romans, buried their dead with appliances that were used to maintain space and prevent collapse of the dentition Guerini, The Ancient Greek Hippocrates c BC— BC , considered to be one of the most exceptional figures in the history of medicine, published his ideas regarding the correction of tooth irregularities in BC Hippocrates,BC.
The Romans Teeth bound with a gold wire, presumably an ancient precursor to modern ligature wire, have been found in a Roman tomb in Egypt Ruffer, Aulus Cornelius Celsus A great Roman philosopher and physician c25 BC—c50 AD recommended extracting deciduous teeth to allow the eruption of the permanent dentition in his medical encyclopedia De Medicina. In addition, Celsus was the first to record the use of finger pressure for the treatment of incorrectly positioned teeth and said that this finger pressure should be applied to new teeth every day to ensure correct tooth alignment.
Pliny the Elder Probably the first mechanical treatment was advocated by Pliny the Elder ad , who suggested filing elongated teeth to bring them into proper alignment at chapter 49 named Remedies for Toothache in Naturalis Historia. This method remained in practice until the s. The Renaissance The evidence suggests that no further developments were made until the 18th century.
However, the European Renaissance of the 14th—17th centuries heralded scientists who studied dental anatomy, most notably the Italian Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci — His drawings included detailed studies on body proportions and he used details such as lip—dental relationship, facial proportions and tooth size ratios in his paintings.

Eighteenth century Pierre Fauchard Beginning in the 18th century, the leading country in the field of dentistry was France.
This was due, in large measure, to the efforts of a single man Pierre Fauchard In , he published the first general work on dentistry; a 2-volume opus entitled The Surgeon Dentist: A Treatise on the Teeth.
Pierre Fauchard He described methods of straightening teeth and devoted a chapter to the subject the first comprehensive discussion of orthodontic appliances in his book Le Chirurgien Dentiste Fauchard, He described the use of ligature wires to straighten teeth, as well as the first expansion appliance, known as a bandeau.
His was the first record of recommending serial extraction and of extracting premolars to relieve crowding. There followed a long line of lingual appliances, including the jackscrew, the expansion plate, and, closer to our time, the lingual arch. John Hunter John Hunter made the greatest advances in dentistry of his time.
Two years later, he applied to dental colleges. His scratchy, brief letter of inquiry dated September 6, , to the Baltimore Dental College is the earliest document extant from his hand. Although his English constructions and spelling were rather crude for a schooled year-old, young Angle exuded the restless confidence that would mark his entire adult life and would win him success in many adventures to come.
He was invited to enroll at Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery in Philadelphia for their DDS program, then arranged in two 6-month terms spaced over a nominal 2 years and located in a building at the northwest corner of Twelfth and Filbert Streets. Angle alluded to his college experiences years later in friendly letters with classmates E. Townsend and Charles J.
After dental school graduation in , Edward Angle went to the Bradford County seat, Towanda, and set up a general practice of mechanical dentistry in the center of town. He became a boarder in the home of Towanda's leading physician, Dr David Shepard Pratt, a good strategic decision for the bright new dentist in town.
Young Dr Angle advertised in local newspapers, such as The Sullivan Review , and appeared to be rapidly successful. In Towanda, Angle experienced declining health that was to plague him on and off for the rest of his life. He was diagnosed with pleural pneumonia. Today, we may understand this chronic respiratory condition as a consequence of tuberculosis.
One popular treatment of the day was for the sufferer to move to fresher, cleaner air—to a pristine resort set up for this purpose or to the mountains or the desert. After 3 years of dental practice in Towanda, in the spring of , year-old Dr Angle abandoned dentistry and took a train to Minneapolis, Minnesota, on a physician's advice, in search of better health.
Within a few months, his condition improved and, with his recovery, came renewed confidence and resolve to make something of himself. For his health's sake, Angle was considering permanent retirement from dentistry in favor of work that was less confining and more outdoors.
In the fall, he returned briefly to Pennsylvania to entice some of his old farm buddies from Herrick to join him in setting up a lucrative sheep-raising business. Angle invested all his savings into their sheep-farming venture, all to be undone by the great blizzard of , a record-breaking deep freeze that killed off the entire herd.
The empty-handed boys from Ballibay sullenly returned to Pennsylvania, except for Hart. A defeated Angle, feeling physically better but mentally depleted, hobbled in to Minneapolis by mid looking for work—again in dentistry. He got back into general dental practice and soon resumed the creative thinking and tinkering with tooth-regulating appliances that he began in Towanda.
Within a couple of years, Angle inquired at the Dental Department of the Minnesota Hospital College in Minneapolis regarding faculty employment. Impressed with what he had to offer, the college administrators tailored a position to suit his skills and their needs. In , year-old Edward Angle was appointed a professor of histology and lecturer on comparative anatomy and orthodontia. A few years later, after the Hospital College merged into the University of Minnesota, he was elevated to professor of orthodontia, a rare position in those days when orthodontia was a neglected part of the prosthetics department at dental colleges.
At the same time, he quickly ascended through the ranks to become president of the Minneapolis City Dental Society in He also was able to maintain his small private dental office, where he experimented more and more with novel approaches in orthodontic mechanisms. In sum, through his resilience, industriousness, and good fortune, Angle seemed to have landed on his feet psychologically and financially from the Montana get-rich-quick debacle a few years earlier.
Thirty-two-year-old Dr Angle was the youngest of the session's speakers and was scheduled last on the day's program.
Two prominent authorities on orthodontics directly preceded Angle: Clark Goddard, professor at University of California, San Francisco, and Eugene Talbot, textbook writer and professor from Chicago. The open discussion that followed was sometimes acrimonious. Many well-known dentists in the audience, including John N. Farrar and Victor H. Jackson, accused Angle of falsely claiming originality.
They cited others including themselves who earlier introduced similar appliances. Actually, Angle considered that his first edition was his page chapter appended to Loomis P. To those who would challenge him, his style often seemed abrasive, sometimes brutal; to others, those loyal to him and backing his causes, he was as charming and gentle as a puppy. The year was a watershed in Angle's professional development: he announced that he would be practicing orthodontia to the exclusion of all other dental therapies.
With this decision, he became the first acknowledged exclusive specialist in orthodontics in the world. Until this moment, none of the authorities on orthodontics worldwide and in history ever mustered the vision and confidence to limit their dental or medical practice to only this emerging type of treatment. Angle was no longer on the faculty at the University of Minnesota. He also needed time to work on his textbook's third edition, his first real book, a page work, 20 pages longer than his edition, which had been published as an appendix in the second edition of Haskell's prosthetics laboratory book.
He hired Anna Hopkins, a bright young Minneapolis secretarial school graduate, to help him with his book and practice. It was the beginning of a life-shaping relationship for both of them. Also by , Edward Angle was beginning to feel stress from his troubled marriage. Florence A. Canning was the sister of John E. Canning, a Minneapolis machinist whom Angle came to know and rely on, the way any inventor needs a toolmaker.
It seems that Angle met Florence socially through this business relation. In March , year-old Florence and the year-old dentist married. Less than 9 months later their daughter Florence Isabel Angle was born in Minneapolis, only 3 months after her father's disastrous appearance at the Ninth International Medical Congress in Washington. Angle's correspondence a dozen years later described a disintegration of this marriage from the start. The couple was grossly mismatched, he the ambitious idea man and she the daydreaming reader of romances.
It took Angle another 9 years to deliver an acceptable divorce settlement for Florence Senior in May On June 28, , Hart and Anna were married in St Louis at ages 53 and 36, respectively and within 2 months the newlyweds had moved to New York to begin a new chapter in their lives, as retired gentry. Edward Hartley Angle, age 43 years, , St Louis, Missouri, at the beginning of his legendary ascent in international fame and fortune.
Only known photograph of Dr Angle's daughter, Florence Isabel Angle on left , seen with him and an unidentified woman at his 65th birthday party, June 1, , held in the garden at the Angles' home in Pasadena, California.
Aged 32 years at the time, she was a schoolteacher in Los Angeles. Never married, Florence died in Morganton, NC 50 years later. Contemporaneous observers and commentators agreed that Edward H.
Angle—whether they liked the man or not—was a pillar of integrity and a model of character, presumably built up from the high values drilled in at home during his childhood. But, he was not without personal faults, some related to his uncontrollable need to defend his honor when he perceived an attack.
One of Angle's more blatant weaknesses was his relapse occasionally into verbal abuse, an outspokenness commonplace among the educated and privileged of his time. It was a more benign prejudice than the hardcore racial and religious bigotry that was virulently expressed in society later in the 20th century.
