Kevin O’Brien’s Orthodontic Blog

I am Emeritus Professor of Orthodontics at the University of Manchester, UK, and I run this blog about orthodontic treatment. We post once a week to provide clinical information and comments on orthodontics for both the public and professionals. Our posts are mostly about evidence-based orthodontics, but we will also discuss orthodontic controversies, new treatments, and the “orthodontic fringe”. I will also challenge orthodontic quackery and poor-quality research with exaggerated findings.
