About the author

At first I thought this chapter is superfluous because it's not important. But after inspection of several internet pages I noticed that during reading one often also wants to know details on the author, for example to get at least some few clues about his accumulated experiences. So here a short autobiographical note:
 

Wolfgang Orthuber
 
 
April 25th, 1961 Born in Vilshofen/Bavaria/Germany
1980 Abitur in Gymnasium Vilshofen, BayBFG award

1982-1986 Study of dental medicine at the LMU Munich
1986 Dentist
1986-1990 Assistance time at the Poliklinik für zahnärztliche Prothetik in Munich
1988 MD dent.

During my study in Munich I met my current chief Prof. Helge Fischer Brandies and we patented a method for computer assisted bending of orthodontic archwires. Since beginning of my professional career I concentrated on further development of this. 1991 we allocated the license for it to a Berlin development team under the direction of Rüdger Rubbert, Friedrich Riemeier and Norbert Geyer. It soon engaged mainly in the subject and also patented own important innovations. One of the consequences was the foundation of Orametrix.

After 2004 I also dealt with general possibilities for improvement of objectivity in medicine. This caused me to a suggestion for universal pattern search on the web.
