Problem description:

I am curious to know, because I hate braces and people who wear braces.

Analysis:

I think you are a little silly. Let me tell you something.

The inventor of orthodontics in English is unknown, but it is believed to be related to the history of orthodontics. If so, it must be in the period of 18 ~19th century, because orthodontics originated in18th century.

Here are some related histories:

1728, Pierre Fauchard published a book called "The Earth Dentist", the content of which is to teach how to correct teeth.

? 1757, French dentist Bourdet wrote a book called "The Art of Dentists". He has a unit on tooth arrangement and using equipment to correct teeth. This is also the first important reference book in orthodontics.

? Historians say that two people deserve to be awarded the "Father of Orthodontics".

The first is Norman W. Kingsley. He is a dentist, writer, artist and sculptor. 1880, he wrote a book called On Oral Malformation. His book has a profound influence on dentistry today.

The second is dentist J.N. Faller. He wrote two books, entitled "Treatment and Correction of Teeth". He is also good at designing orthodontic devices such as braces, and he is also the first person who advocates the most effective way to move teeth with little force every once in a while.

? 1864, new york doctor S.C. Barnum invented the rubber dam (this is a kind of latex, on which only one tooth can be exposed to protect other teeth).

? Calvin S. Case was the first person to use rubber bands and braces at the same time (to improve the occlusion and arrangement of teeth).

New transparent correction sleeve (

Invisalign braces)

It was invented by Zia Chishti, and it is characterized by transparent, detachable and plastic braces, which is different from the traditional braces that cannot be disassembled and will affect the appearance. Different from the traditional braces which are often adjusted, it is a series of braces made by computer. General braces can't be taken off, but they can be taken off when washing teeth. Zia Chishti and his business partner Kelsey Wirth founded Align Technology on 1997 to develop and produce this kind of braces. In May 2000, the new transparent braces were officially put on the market.
