Tweed, Charles H International Foundation for Orthodontic Research The page of the Charles H. Tweed Foundation for Orthodontic Education and Research His first "course" was held as a study club meeting in 1941.

After Dr. Tweed became disillusioned with his unstable cases with unbalanced faces he retreated them for free with extractions. He showed these cases at a national meeting and orthodontists began going to his office in large numbers to see how he produced his beautiful results. Thirty-six orthodontists met for instruction at the first session. The group elected Sam Lewis to be its president. Copeland Sheldon was elected secretary-treasurer. In attendance at the first meeting were Robert Strang, Cecil Steiner, Bill Downs, Herb Margolis, Paul Lewis, and Hays Nance. The same group met in 1942. Because of World War II, no meetings were held in 1943, 1944, or 1945. In 1946, the group gathered again. The first week of their session was devoted to instruction for newly interested orthodontists, and the second week to a seminar for the original group. Hays Nance, the president, organized an exceptional meeting in 1947. Wendell Wylie read two papers, which were ably discussed by Herb Margolis. At this time, Hays Nance proved himself to be a major essayist with his paper entitled, "The Limitations of Orthodontic Treatment." Tweed read two papers, which were critiqued by Robert Strang, Herbert Margolis, and Wendell Wylie. It was at this meeting in 1947 that the group proposed the founding of the Charles H. Tweed Foundation for Orthodontic Research.
