Some Oral History...

  • The first set of false teeth was discovered in 8th century BC.
  • The first braces were constructed by Pierre Fauchard in 1728 in France.  They consisted of a flat strip of metal connected to the teeth by pieces of thread.
  • Orthodontic brackets were invented by Edward Angle in 1915.  If you (or your parents or grandparents!) had braces before 1970, they were probably similar to those invented by Dr. Angle.
