Anthony Gianelly (1936 - 2009) was an American Orthodontist. Dr. Gianelly is known to develop the Bi-dimensional Technique in Orthodontics.[1] This technique is a widely used technique in various private practices of Orthodontics and has been subject of numerous publications over the years. Gianelly was the Interim Chair of the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine.[2][3]

Life

He was born in Boston in 1936 and was the younger of two brothers. He attended Harvard College and played in the Harvard Crimson football team as a leading fullback and a linebacker in the varsity football team during the 1954-1956 season. He also was part of Harvard rugby and the Harvard Track and Field team. He received his dental degree from Harvard School of Dental Medicine in 1961 and received his Orthodontics degree in 1963. He also became a research fellow in Orthodontics at Harvard in 1963 and he was appointed Associate Professor of Orthodontics at Boston University in 1967. He then proceeded ahead to obtain his PhD degree in biology and biochemistry from Boston University in 1967 and then further received his MD degree from Boston University School of Medicine in 1974.[4] While obtaining his PhD degree, he also became a Full-Time Professor at Boston University School of Dental Medicine, which was a position he held until his death.

He died of heart attack at the age of 72 on May 28th in 2009. Gianelly is survived by his wife and his two children and two grandchildren.

Orthodontics

He is known to develop Bidimensional Technique. It is a type of technique where two orthodontic different bracket slots are used in the mouth. An 0.018 slot is used on central and lateral incisors and an 0.022 slot is used on canines, premolars and molars. A wire such as 18x25 can allow a tight fit in the anterior brackets with the 0.018 slot and a loose fit in the posterior teeth with a 0.022 slot. Posteriorly, this allows less friction to be involved which leads to better sliding mechanism. There is about 0.004in slop between the posterior brackets and wire.[5]

Dr. Gianelly published over 90 scientific articles in his career and has co-authored textbooks: Biologic Basis of Orthodontics (1971), Ortodonzia, Concetti Practici (1985), and Bidimensional Technique: Theory and Practice (2000).
