Dr. R.G. „Wick“ Alexander, DDS, MSD

Dr. R.G. "Wick" Alexander received his B.A. degree from Texas Tech University in 1958. His dental degrees are from the University of Texas Dental Branch; the D.D.S. in 1962, and the M.S.D. in 1964.

Dr. Alexander began the practice of orthodontics in Arlington, Texas, in 1964.
He is a Clinical Professor of Orthodontics, Baylor College of Dentistry, the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston, and New York University; Diplomate, American Board of Orthodontics; Fellow, International College of Dentists; and Fellow, American College of Dentists.

He is a member of the Angle Society, the Tweed Foundation, and the Southwestern Society of the American Association of Orthodontists.
Dr. Alexander is past president of the University of Texas Orthodontic Alumni Association and the Texas Orthodontic Study Club.

He served as Trustee to the American Association of Orthodontists representing the Southwestern Society from 1980-82.

In 1966, Dr. Alexander received the Milo Hellman Research Award from the A.A.O. for his study on Scoliosis and the Milwaukee Brace. He also holds both the C.T. Rowland Award and the A.P. Westfall Award (four times) for outstanding orthodontic proficiency and the Fred F. Schudy Award for Excellence in Clinical Orthodontics from the Texas Orthodontic Study Club.

In 1987, he received the first Dewel Clinical Orthodontic Award from the American Association of Orthodontists in recognition of his contribution to orthodontic literature. In 1998, he was presented the Dewey Award by the Southwest Society of Orthodontists.

Dr. Alexander is recognized internationally for his innovation in orthodontic procedures. He is well known for his work in designing the Alexander Discipline, a system of Brackets (called Signature Line) placed on teeth, which is used by orthodontists around the world.

He has lectured internationally on the Discipline as well as published many research papers and articles in professional journals. In addition, Dr. Alexander has written a textbook, "The Alexander Discipline", which is used throughout the United Stated and the world. The book has also been translated into several foreign languages.

He is also currently in the final stages of his second book, The 20 Principles of the Alexander Discipline.

In addition to his traveling and teaching, he practices in Arlington with his son, Dr. J. Moody Alexander and lives in Arlington with his wife, Janna. They have three children and nine grandchildren.

His sons, Dr. Charles Alexander practices orthodontics in Montrose, Colorado and Dr. J. Moody Alexander practices orthodontics with his father in Arlington. Daughter, Shanna Argote, is married to Luis Argote, general manager of the Four Seasons Hotel in Costa Rica.  Shanna is an independent consultant and National Vice President for Arbonne.
