THE EDITORS Both editors graduated from the School of
Dentistry, University of Athens (Greece) and the Orthodontic
postgraduate program of the Ohio State University, earning a
Master's degree.

Theodore Eliades additionally holds a doctorate in
biomedical materials from the University of Athens, and a PhD in
biomaterials from the University of Manchester. He is an Associate
Professor of Orthodontics at the Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki (Greece), and affiliated with institutes in the USA
and EU (Texas, Marquette, Manchester, and Bonn). His research on
biomaterials has generated 85 articles, 15 chapters and 4 books,
the diffusion of which into fields associated with natural and
engineering sciences led to a fellowship at the Institute of
Materials, Minerals and Mining, and a membership in both the Royal
Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics. Dr Eliades is
Editor-in-Chief of the forthcoming Journal of Dental Biomechanics
(Sage), Associate Editor of the European Journal of Orthodontics,
and the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial
Orthopedics, Editorial Board member in 5, and reviewer in 20
journals.

Nikolaos Pandis completed a fellowship in Craniofacial
Orthodontics at the University of Texas, Southwester Medical
Center. He is currently a doctoral Fellow at the University of Bonn
and enrolled in the Master of Clinical Trials program at the
College of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London. He
has published over 20 articles in the areas of self-ligating
appliances and bonding, and is a Diplomate of the American Board of
Orthodontics. Dr Pandis maintains an orthodontic practice in Corfu,
Greece.
