Charles H. Tweed International Foundation

Welcome to the Charles H. Tweed International Foundation. We extend a sincere invitation to join the Foundation in its pursuit of excellence in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment.

The mission of the Charles H. Tweed International Foundation is to promote excellence in orthodontic treatment consistent with the personal traditions, professional ethics, and orthodontic philosophy of Dr. Charles H. Tweed.


"The world should be a beautiful place for a child to live. If he is handicapped by facial deformity that is marring his happiness, we should make every effort to restore that happiness. To say that there is no use trying to help a patient because he has a certain facial type, or he has a facial pattern with serious abnormal deviations, is not courageous. We must strive for maximum harmony and balance as near to normal as conditions will allow."

 -Dr. Charles Tweed
