Bernd Lapatki received the degree in dentistry from the University of Freiburg, Germany, in 1994. He defended his thesis leading to the Dr. med. dent. degree in 1998, and his Habilitation Thesis on the pathogenesis and treatment stability of cover-bite and Class II Division 2 malocclusion in 2007. He also received a Ph.D. degree in neurophysiology from Radboud University Nijmegen (NL) in 2010 for the electrophysiological characterization of the facial motor system at a motor unit level. His clinical career started in 1995 with practicing as a general dentist for two years before he began his postgraduate study at the Department of Orthodontics, Freiburg University Medical Center. During his clinical work at this department as Specialist in Orthodontics from 2000 to 2009 he was also a Research Fellow at the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, The Netherlands. Since 2009 he is a Full Professor and Head of the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Ulm. From 2013 - 2019 he was the Director of the Centre of Dentistry, and since 2019 he is the Dean of Studies in Dentistry at this University.
