A single paper cannot provide a comprehensive coverage of an orthodontic technique, so this selected coverage must be supplemented by a formal coverage of the Begg technique in particular, and orthodontic education in general, as found in Master’s courses in Australia. Since this technique part of twin papers is qualitative in nature, the format for rule-based Expert Systems has been utilised, which is discussed in the Editor’s newsletter of this issue.
