Nameer Al-Taai

Contact Faculty

Nameer Al-Taai obtained his degrees in Baghdad and Sweden. He studied the effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on nocturnal enuresis and outlined the possible correlation between RME and nocturnal enuresis, including placebo effect, nasal obstruction and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). He developed a new cephalometric method to quantitate, with precision, craniofacial changes related to growth as well as orthodontic and orthognathic treatment. Recently, he has made research about dentoalveolar and craniofacial changes up to 60 years of age.
