Biography
John Mew graduated in dentistry at University College London, and then trained in Orthognathic surgery. Seeking alternatives to facial surgery he moved to the speciality of orthodontics in 1965. Since then he has been developing non-surgical methods of correcting unattractive vertical growth in children’s faces, using ‘orthotropics’ to encourage horizontal growth. A practising clinician, his principal research interests are the aetiology of malocclusion and the guidance of facial growth. Currently he is a retired professor of the London School of Facial Orthotropics and Visiting Professor to the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Romania. He was honoured with life membership of the British Dental Association in 1999.
