Iowa Department of Orthodontics for allowing me the opportunity to further my education and giving me the knowledge and tools to pursue a career in orthodontics. The great research projects of this department are reflection of their intelligence, dedication, and love for the art and science of orthodontics. Lastly, I would like to thank my friends and family for all their help and support. Their love and friendship helped me to stay energized and focused.
