Profile: I retired from the University in September 2021 after 21 years. I have been granted honorary Emeritus Professor of Orthodontics and hope to continue some scholarly research activities.

Research interests

I undertake research relevant to the clinical practice of orthodontics. My primary research interest is investigating the effectiveness of contemporary orthodontic techniques and practice. I am the principal or co-author on five systematic reviews published in the Cochrane Library and I have planned, coordinated and completed several randomised controlled clinical trials. I am also interested in oral health-related quality of life and the development of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to measure the impact of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment on young peoples’ everyday lives.

I collaborated with orthodontic colleagues at UCL Eastman Dental Institute, London to develop the Malocclusion Impact Questionnaire (MIQ), which assesses the day-to-day affect that malocclusion has on young people. We have recently developed the Orthodontic Treatment Impact Questionnaire (OTIQ) for assessing the day-to-day affect of orthodontic appliances (braces) on young people. Both measures are designed to be used as validated patient-reported outcome measures in clinical trials. For more information about these measures
