Dr. William J. Clark
In 1977 he developed Twin Blocks. In 2004 in cooperation with Ortho Organizers Dr Clark designed invisible TransForce lingual appliances for interceptive treatment by arch development from mixed dentition to adult therapy. In 2008 he received an award from the International Functional Association for personal outstanding international service to functionalism and orthodontics, having presented many courses in 50 countries over a period of 35 years. In 2010 he completed a thesis on “New Horizons in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics” for a D.D.Sc.
