Kevin O’Brien’s Orthodontic Blog

Welcome to my blog about orthodontic treatment, written by Emeritus Professor of Orthodontics at the University of Manchester, UK. We post weekly to provide clinical information and insights on orthodontics for both the public and professionals. Our posts primarily focus on evidence-based orthodontics, but we also discuss controversies in the field, new treatments, and topics at the “orthodontic fringe.” Additionally, I aim to challenge orthodontic quackery and address poor-quality research that presents exaggerated findings.
