Rate My Professor Hannah Jack

Hannah Jack's research centers on orthodontics, with a focus on clinical outcomes, psychosocial factors, and access to care. She is a member of the craniofacial research programme, investigating topics such as smile dynamics in unilateral cleft lip patients, orthodontists' experiences in community volunteering, treatment costs for low socio-economic status families, malocclusion as a potential disability, swallowing patterns and perioral electromyography, oral health-related quality of life in orthodontic and cleft patients, and primary surgical outcomes in New Zealand cleft lip and palate cases. Notable publications include: "Association of Clinical, Biomechanical, and Psychosocial Factors with Smile Dynamics in Unilateral Cleft Lip: A Multicenter Observational Study" (The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 2024, with Wong LHM, Firth F, Fowler P, Bennani H, Noble Campbell T, Farella M); "Some orthodontists' experiences of volunteering for a community orthodontic initiative" (American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2019, with Smith LA, Fowler P, Antoun J, Blanch K); "The impact of treatment cost on low SES families: an orthodontic viewpoint" (2019, with Smith L, Antoun J); "Considering malocclusion as a disability" (2019, with Antoun J); "Evaluation of primary surgical outcomes in New Zealand patients with unilateral clefts of the lip and palate" (2011, with Antoun J); and earlier works on lip advancement effects on oral pressure and swallowing function (2013-2014). Her scholarship has garnered over 170 citations and includes collaborations on New Zealand Dental Association Research Foundation-funded projects.
