Faculty Files
PT: What are the benefits you receive from teaching?
SF: Teaching allows me to stay current on developments
in the field and contributes to my professional
growth. I enjoy the intellectual stimulation of the
academic environment as well as my interactions with
the students and patients.
PT: What are your thoughts on an academic career in
the future?
SF: I really enjoy being a faculty member with the
Department of Orthodontics at the University of
Washington. I look forward to teaching every week.
I envision continuing to teach and staying involved
with the department throughout my career.
Dr. Lauren Todoki
Dr. Todoki grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii, and was introduced
to dentistry at a very young age by her father,
who is an oral surgeon. She dreamed of pursuing a
career in dentistry and became interested in orthodontics
after receiving orthodontic treatment from
her childhood orthodontist.
Dr. Todoki attended college at the University of
Southern California, where she double majored in
biological sciences and East Asian languages and
cultures. She went to dental school at the University
of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) and earned her DDS
in 2016. After graduating from dental school, she
moved to Seattle, Washington, to attend the University
of Washington for her orthodontic residency. Dr.
Todoki completed her orthodontic training in 2019
and earned her Master of Science in Dentistry and
Certificate in Orthodontics. During her orthodontic
residency, Dr. Todoki worked with Dr. Huang on the
National Dental PBRN Adult Anterior Open Bite Study.
With the mentorship and support of Dr. Huang and
her research colleagues, she examined the treatment
success and outcomes of adult anterior open bite orthodontic
treatment. She was awarded the 2020 Milo
Hellman research award for her work on adult anterior
open bite treatment success, and her research was
published in the American Journal of Orthodontics
and Dentofacial Orthopedics. After completing her
orthodontic training, Dr. Todoki earned her board
certification from the American Board of Orthodontics
and currently works in private practice in the greater
Seattle area. Dr. Todoki joined the University of Washington
Department of Orthodontics as an affiliate
assistant professor in 2021. She is very grateful for the
opportunity to teach and work with the residents in
the graduate orthodontic program. In her free time,
Dr. Todoki enjoys spending time with her fiancé and
their dog. She has a passion for cooking and baking
and likes to challenge herself with decorating cakes
and making custom cookies. She loves being active,
trying new foods, and spending time with her family
and friends.
PT: How did you become involved in the open bite
study?
Lauren Todoki (LT): During my orthodontic residency
I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Huang on
the National Dental PBRN Adult Anterior Open Bite
Study. As a first-year resident, I became interested in
the project after talking with a senior resident who
was working on the initial phase of the study at the
time. I was intrigued by the wide variety of treatment
methods used for orthodontic treatment of anterior
open bite malocclusions and the challenges with
achieving successful bite closure and long-term stability,
especially in the adult orthodontic population.
PT: Tell us about your experience with research and
how this experience and knowledge from the project
have affected the way you practice orthodontics.
LT: I was first introduced to research when I was selected
to participate in the UMKC School of Dentistry
Summer Scholars Program, where I worked on a
research project exploring the effects of oral cancer
radiation therapy on teeth. During dental school, I also
had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Laura
Iwasaki and Dr. Jeffrey Nickel on their temporomandibular
joint research. Their passion and dedication
to research inspired my desire to attend an orthodontic
residency program that valued research and
evidence-based orthodontics and would allow me
to contribute to significant and meaningful research.
