and thus he would expand the arches buccally. However, due to failures Tweed resorted to extracting teeth while keeping the mandibular plane to lower incisor angle at 90 degree +/- 10 degrees. The tides turned once more, however, in the 1990s, notably after the 1986 Brimm lawsuit, in which Tweed's approach was proven to lead to serious jaw disorder and the rate of extractions halved in the United States. Today in the US it is more common to try to expand the arches first, using palate expanders, rather than resort to extractions. The rate of the practice of extractions is still high in other countries, particularly in Asia where up to 80% of cases are still done with extractions.

of beauty: a recessed face was hardly more attractive than a "full smile", he claimed. The "extraction versus non-extraction debate" became and remains the most controversial issue in the orthodontic industry, and grew especially heated after the Brimm lawsuit of 1986, in which a young
Michigan woman won 1.3 million dollars from her orthodontist due to what the jury termed "mutilation" of her facial structure. The members of the American Association of Orthodontics, after this lawsuit, bonded to defend Tweed's technique, and today it continues, despite frequent challenges and extraction victim reports, to be an industry standard, with Tweed hailed as "a pioneer."
163:. Edward Angle, who had pancreatic cancer had died between Tweed leaving Phoenix and arriving in Pasadena. He was instructed at the Angle School by three orthodontists who had worked at the School with Angle: George Hahn, Si Kloehn and John? Terwilleger. Tweed was not a classmate of P. Raymond Begg as Begg had attended the Angle School in 1924, as confirmed in the Knowledge (XXG) entry for Begg and in the Australian Begg Society of Orthodontists web site. Begg and Tweed never met.

was the best technique to prevent orthodontic relapse. In 1940, Tweed took 100 patients and treated them without extractions. When their treatment had failed, he then treated them with extractions for no additional fee. He presented his findings in 1940 at the AAO annual meeting. According to
Proffit et al., under the leadership of Charles Tweed, extraction of teeth was reintroduced into orthodontics in the 1940s and 1950s to enhance facial esthetics and occlusal relationships.
171:
It is important to note that Tweed's philosophy was different than Edward Angle, his mentor. Edward Angle practiced strictly without extraction of teeth to achieve harmonious occlusion. Tweed believed that extracting teeth lead to a more harmonious profile than what Angle achieved in his practice and

During his early years, Tweed found that large number of his cases experienced failures either due to relapse of the corrected dentition or poor facial esthetics. Tweed's failures occurred due to expansion of the arches. Tweed believed in keeping the mandibular incisors uprighted over the basal bone

However, Tweed's "serial extraction" technique met with opposition from some colleagues, such as the world-renowned Dr. B. F. Dewel, later president of the
American Association of Orthodontics, who termed the procedure a "mutilation" of the facial structure and critiqued Tweed's idiosyncratic ideal

Tweed occlusion refers to an end result of an orthodontic treatment that Tweed and his followers tried to achieve when finishing treatment. He believed in maximum facial harmony and balance, defined as the lower midface being more retruded than the upper, and therefore he believed in treating the
