One of the most valuable names in the world of orthodontics, known for innovations in the use of mini-implants for the treatment of complex clinical cases. After completing his DDS and PhD in Bone Physiology from Indiana University, he founded the Beethoven Orthodontic Center and Newton's A Inc. in Hsinchu, Taiwan. His practice specializes in the integration of mini implants, aligners, and self-ligating braces into orthodontic treatment.
Chang is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a member of the Angle Society-Midwest, which emphasizes his high professional status. His developments in the field of extraalveolar anchorage, in particular OrthoBoneScrews® (OBS), have changed the approach to the correction of classes II and III, open bite and asymmetries. This system allows for treatment without tooth extraction and minimizes surgical intervention.
His scholarly work includes more than 24 publications and the Orthodontics book series (volumes 1-6), as well as the books Words of Wisdom, Jobsology , and Trumpology. He is the publisher of the Journal of Digital Orthodontics and actively promotes digital technologies in dentistry. Among the key publications are the 2013 article "Class II Low Angle with Bilateral First Premolars Crossbite", co-authored with Hsing-Wen Chang and W. Eugene Roberts, and the book Orthodontics and Implantology: Vol 36 (2017). His scientific works have been cited hundreds of times, confirming their relevance to the orthodontic community.
As an international lecturer and speaker at dental congress, Dr. Chang conducts seminars and courses around the world. In 2023, in Ho Chi Minh City, with the support of Otexe.com, he presented a 40-hour program dedicated to the treatment of malocclusions using mini-implants, aligners and braces. His webinars and courses on Otexe.com consistently attract a large audience and are appreciated for their practical focus and demonstration of clinical cases.
