Effect of mini-screw maximum insertion torque on skeletal orthodontic anchorage. ii To my husband Mike whose has always supported me no matter how ambiguous or flighty my life plans have been. Everyday we spend together makes me a better person. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my thesis supervisor, Dr. Tom Southard, for all his support and guidance throughout my thesis and education. I, also, would like to thank the other members of my thesis committee, Dr. Staley and Dr. Fang Qian for their time and contributions to my project. The faculty members and adjunct faculty members at the University of Iowa have provided me with an amazing education and welcomed me into a profession that will be endlessly rewarding. I have never learned as much or laughed as much as I have these past two years. I cannot thank them enough for the extraordinary future that lies before me. Last, but not least, I would like to thank my co-residents. I could not have hand-picked a better group of individuals to be my extended family. As I leave here, I will never forget how lucky I am to have been given the opportunity to be part of this orthodontic program.
