This fantastic piece of memorabilia is as if the Angle torch is being passed on to me. Dr. Angle has always been a huge inspiration, it is after reading some articles about Dr. Angle’s story that I decided to become an Orthodontist and his teaching example has further inspired me to educate those who are passionate about learning Orthodontics. So, instead of hiding this band away, I intend to use it as a “torch” to help cast light on our profession and our founding father’s great contributions by establishing Asia’s first Angle Orthodontic Library and Museum, which will honor Dr. Angle and allow today’s doctors to enjoy, and learn from his and our other predecessors’ wisdom.

It is obviously not easy to set up such a venture, but I have been blessed by Dr. Mike Gabler and Dr. Lloyd Pearson, who both have donated their extensive book collections, which document just how much has changed and improved in our profession. Our library section will be for books, but our museum section will preserve this original Angle band, along with other historical equipment, appliances and various Orthodontic paraphernalia. Of course, I cannot do this all by myself, even though all of my Orthodontic collection will be housed in the library / museum

For those who are interested in selling (or donating) their Orthodontic collections, I can arrange for shipping and will pay for all costs. The names of the donator’s will be sealed in the books and their names added to an engraved plaque, so all visitors can appreciate their kindness in preserving the history of our profession. I close by once again thanking Drs. Gabler and Pearson and hope that the Angle library and museum will inspire you and future generations to join us marching on our path to glory,
