Marcel Korn, D.M.D.

Dr. Marcel Korn received his D.M.D., cum-laude from Tufts University in 1966.
He studied orthodontics at Tufts under the directorship of Dr. Everett Shapiro and
received his postgraduate certificate in orthodontics in 1970. He is a diplomate of the
American Board of Orthodontics, member of the College of Diplomates of the American
Board, a member of the Angle Society of Orthodontists and a fellow in the International
College of Dentists. Dr. Korn is an associate clinical professor in the department of
postgraduate orthodontics at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and is the
orthodontic consultant both to the Gelb Pain Center at Tufts and to the American
Orthodontics Corporation.

Dr. Korn's main interest is clinical research and treatment related to a philosophy
he calls ''Postural Orthodontics''. Postural Orthodontics is concerned with the early
treatment of malocclusion in children and the management of adult problems via a fixed-
functional and postural approach. A simplified, cost effective, and less invasive
alternative for all orthodontic problem solving is the main goal of ''Postural
Orthodontics''. Research projects are now underway at Tufts University on the early
treatment postural approach and on non-surgical management of adult surgical cases.

Dr. Korn has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Europe and the
Americas on the subject of Postural Orthodontics. He has developed a number of
orthodontic appliances and holds a number of patents on items related to his
mechanotherapy.

He has written a syllabus, published numerous articles on early treatment with
''Lip Bumpers'' and the ''Mandibular Advancer'' and he has written a chapter titled
''Postural Orthodontics'' for a textbook named ''Orthodontics for the TMD & TMJ Patient'',
published by Duane Grummons.

He and his wife Gail have two daughters and reside in Boston. Dr. Korn
maintains private practices in Boston and Fitchburg, Massachusetts and is on the
faculty at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in both the Department of
Postgraduate Orthodontics and the Gelb Cranio-Mandibular Pain Center.
