Professor, Department of Orthodontics, College of
Dentistry, Yonsei University
He received DDS and PhD degree at the Graduate school, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University and completed the orthodontics specialty training in Yonsei University Dental Hospital. He was a visiting scholar at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 2002-2004 and at the Division of Plastic Surgery, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in 2010-2011. He was an adjunct professor at the Department of Orthodontics, University of Pennsylvania between 2016 and 2019 and at Temple University between 2010 and 2011. He is the first who demonstrated the miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) for adults in AJO-DO, and has served as a reviewer in major orthodontic journals, including AJO-DO, Angle Orthodontists and European Journal of Orthodontics. He has been invited to many international orthodontic conferences around the world.

1. How come the case is never finished?
2. What happens if the problem is not properly diagnosed?
3. Why minimal surgery?
4. How do we diagnose transverse problem?
5. Minor crowding is hardly a problem of incisors
6. Midline deviation is hardly a unilateral problem
7. Extraction in severe crowding can be jeopardizing
8. Digitalized VTO for conversion of extraction to nonextraction
9. Recession on incisor causes a butterfly effect in the 2nd molar
10. Message from suture biology-Is repeated expansion justified?
11. Message from suture biology-Maxillary expansion in adults: rapid or slow?
12. Biomechanical background-Does it have to be ‘MARPE’?
13. Biomechanical background-What is the role of the miniscrew?
14. How about bone-borne RPE?: strengths and limitations
15. How to maintain profile in severe crowding cases
16. Is molar intrusion the first step of open bite correction?

We provide dentists with various clinical courses in each field of dentistry such as Orthodontics, Periodontology, Endodontics, Implant, and Digital Dentistry, and more. We present the courses in basic, intermediate, and advanced courses depending on the level of academic achievements.
