Dr. Dewey was the founding editor of International Journal of Orthodontia, later known as
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. He worked with Dr. C.V. Mosby to establish the journal in 1915. He served as editor for 17 years and wrote many interesting articles over his lifetime. His efforts were important in establishing the journal in its early years. Before his death, Dr. Dewey began publishing a journal called
Orthodontic Review which was designed as an open forum journal to discuss orthodontic related topics. The journal was however discontinued later. He played an important part in opposing the "Arizona Orthodontic Law. Dewey established the Dewey School of Orthodontics at the Dental School in
Kansas City, Missouri. The first classes were given in the summer of 1911 for a period of ten weeks. The school was moved to
Chicago in 1917 and then to
New York City two years later. He served as faculty member at both Chicago and New York dental schools. The school had annual orthodontic sessions until 1933 when Dewey died. Dewey wrote and co-authored several textbooks such as
Practical Orthodontics and
Dental Anatomy. He was the co-author of
Comparative Dental Anatomy textbook. There's also a
Martin E. Dewey Award that has been established by the Southwestern Society of Orthodontists in his honor. ==Dewey School of Orthodontia alumni==
