About

Wei Huang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthodontics at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. His research focuses on translating molecular mechanisms of bone modeling and remodeling into clinical models for accelerated orthodontics. Using animal models of orthodontic tooth movement, he investigates the effects of multiple molecular pathways on the rate of tooth movement. His clinical research interests include addressing challenging conditions such as tooth ankylosis and posterior open bite through new treatment modalities and exploring possible genetic etiologies. Additionally, he leads projects on dental device technology innovation. Dr. Huang holds a DMD and an MA from Peking University, School of Stomatology, an MA from Indiana University, and a PhD from Harvard University. His work encompasses animal models and clinical applications of accelerated orthodontics, clinical studies on ankylosis, 3D printing in orthodontics, genetic studies of posterior open bite, and dental device innovation.
