Welcome!
Welcome to the informational website for the Baylor College of Dentistry Orthodontic Alumni Website! The Orthodontic Department at the Baylor College of Dentistry was created through the efforts of Dr. Robert Gaylord and Dr. Tom Matthews in 1961, with the first graduating class presented in 1963. Since that time over 250 Orthodontists have received their training within the department. In September 1996, Baylor College of Dentistry became a member of The Texas A&M University System, and today is a component of The A&M System Health Science Center.
Within the site you will find information on other Alumni, the annual meeting and information about the Orthodontic Department. As it is with most websites, there are always updates being made. If you have any corrections, or have something you would like added, please send a message to the webmaster at alumni@gaylordortho.com.
*The department is now part of Texas A&M, but on this site will be referred to as Baylor College of Dentistry.
