Portrait of a Professional
Dr. Will Andrews
son, Joe Gryson, Neal Wells, Dave Johnson, Reggie
Griggs, and Jeff Jang, just to name a few. Each of
these individuals brought vast experience and a
wide variety of methods to the clinic. Ron Roth
was no longer directly affiliated with the program, but he allowed residents to attend portions of his two-year course in nearby San Mateo.
Most clinical faculty used some variety of the
straight-wire appliance, with a mixture of
.018 slot and .022 slot. All in all, it was a widespectrum education with lots of freedom to
experiment.
CH: Did you do research?
WA: Dr. Ib Nielsen was a resident favorite among
the faculty; he was my research mentor. Dr.
Nielsen is a passionate teacher and researcher
and a highly skilled clinician; qualities we all
admired. His primary areas of focus were growth
and development and growth modification. We
learned the Bjork analysis and superimposition
method backwards and forward. I still regularly
draw from that knowledge today. My research
with Dr. Nielsen involved evaluating the lateral
headfilms from the well-known sample of naturally optimal occlusions collected by my father,
which had led to both the discovery of the Six
Keys to Optimal Occlusion and the invention of
the straight-wire appliance. The intent was to
find out if there were any universal skeletal characteristics that could explain how the occlusions

Elements" courses given by my father in San Diego in 1991

had developed harmoniously; I also sought to
observe the possible limits of skeletal relationships within which the dentition could naturally
and fully compensate. The paper was never published, but I have applied what I learned from
Dr. Nielsen to several subsequent scientific
publications.
CH: How did you choose your practice location?
WA: When I finished my residency, there was little doubt that I would join my father in his San
Diego practice. Several of the faculty at UCSF
were involved in father-son practices, and knowing that I would be in a similar situation, they
offered great advice as to how to handle it.
Mainly, I was cautioned to not waltz in thinking
that I knew everything, and not to try to make
wholesale changes to the structure and philosophy of the practice.
I had just spent two years absorbing everything
I could from our faculty and fellow residents.
Accordingly, I decided to treat my first two years
in private practice as a new residency. I knew my
father had developed a fairly comprehensive
orthodontic philosophy over the 30-plus years he
had been practicing, so I started out with an
open mind and wanted to learn all I could from
him before settling on my own way of doing
things.
