I was born in 1956 in Kansas City, Kansas, at KU Medical Center. I have had around 100 broken bones and most of them were from just turning or moving the wrong way. You see, with OI (osteogenesis imperfecta, brittle bones), it does not take much at all to break a bone. I was raised in the greater Kansas City area and eventually ended up just southeast of Harrisonville, Missouri, in a small town called Gunn City, where I reside at my home on Zook Street with my husband and our two dogs and my mother. I have a twenty-nine-year-old son who also has OI and a stepson and daughter-in-law who are the best, and an adopted son and his wife and two grandchildren. I might have an unpleasant bone disorder, but I have a great family that helps make up for it. I hope you enjoy reading my book, and I hope it helps the public and the medical field to understand what OI is and to help them to be able to identify the disorder when a child is born with it, and I hope individuals who already have it to get the right care that they need. May God bless you all and thank you for your support..

The book highlights the application of distraction osteogenesis in repositioning of teeth. The paradigm in orthognathic surgery has shifted in a way that it is now possible to perform distraction osteogenesis in an outpatient basis. The principles and procedures involved in this cutting edge technique are outlined in the book. Rapid orthodontics, sophisticated imaging, tissue engineering, principles of bone healing and tissue repair and more are discussed by leaders in the field. Through distraction osteogenesis (slow movement), and orthognathic surgery (immediate movement), virtually every kind of facial deformity is treatable in a reasonable period of time. Dr. Bell, a prime mover in oral and maxillofacial surgery, has collected contributions from first-class academicians and practitioners in the field for this lavishly illustrated volume..
