RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Alexis Schange was one of the first practitioners able to use accurate casts of the dental arches thanks to the invention of the impression-tray by Delabarre. Consequently, his diagnoses were more precise and his appliances fitted better than those of his predecessors. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The author will first outline the status of Orthodontics prior to Schange and the advent of the first casts, before describing Schange's contribution to Orthodontics. DISCUSSION: In 1841, Schange published his "Handbook of Dental Uprighting", a clear and pedagogical work and undoubtedly the best over the many years when Orthodontics was exclusively European.

The Colyer Collection of First World War dental radiographs and casts is a unique teaching resource with a fascinating history. The story of the radiographs illuminates the role of dental surgery and Sir J. Frank Colyer (1866-1954) in the treatment of maxillofacial injuries during this period.
