About

Orthodontics Insider is an independent platform covering research, technology, and clinical developments in orthodontics. Posts primarily draw from peer-reviewed literature and aim to make the science of the specialty accessible to students, residents, and practicing clinicians. The site was started at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine with the goal of building something that takes orthodontic research and presents it in a way that is genuinely accessible.

What We Cover

Posts cover peer-reviewed research, emerging technology, and clinical developments, with the goal of making the literature more accessible without oversimplifying it.

Who It's For

Orthodontics Insider is written for dental students exploring the specialty, residents staying current, and practicing clinicians who want a reliable read on where the field is heading.

How It Started

Orthodontics Insider started during dental school, driven by a genuine interest in the specialty and a habit of reading the literature more closely than coursework required. The more time spent in the research, the more it seemed worth writing about and sharing with others who cared about the same things. It grew from there.
