Dr.
Brodie-Brockwell graduated
in Dentistry from McGill University, Montreal, Canada in 1948
with high honours, including the Lieut. Governor's Medal and the
Montreal Dental Club Prize.
In
1949, he took charge of the Red Cross Dental Clinics in
Montreal. A year later he started his private practice in
Lachine, Quebec, where he began his research on MIGRAINE.
It
was at that time that Dr.
Brodie-Brockwell realized Mandibular (jaw) movements
create basic angles, the size of which can influence the
intensity of MIGRAINE
headaches. He named these angles, "The
Brodie-Brockwell Excursal Angles".
In
1969, he lectured at the combined International/Ontario Dental
Association Convention in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and later to
other Dental Societies in Ontario, Canada.
