USN School of Dental Medicine, Nevadas newest dental school, is one of about 60 in the United States licensed to provide post-doctoral orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics education (jaw cracking versus teeth wrangling; dealing with face bones in the wrong place versus teeth in the wrong place).
Along with his brother Gerard Tabourian, Tabourian honored his father by establishing the Karekin Tabourian Dentofacial Clinic.
Another name for this is dentofacial orthopedics since orthodontics involves actual facial abnormalities.
