I clearly remember Dr Tweed’s words of advice, given to us University of Texas orthodontic graduate students in 1963: “If you start and finish one case a week, you will have a successful practice.” In other words, he was telling us that we could not control the treatment and produce quality results with a larger practice. He was recommending that each practitioner have around 100 active patients.
