  Dr Vicki Vlaskalic received both her Bachelor of Dental Science and Master of Dental Science degrees at the University of Melbourne, Australia. As recipient of the Australian Society of Orthodontists’ Sam Bulkley research fellowship, she spent 2 years teaching and researching at UCLA and then travelled to San Francisco where she became Assistant Professor at the University of the Pacific. In 1997, Dr. Vlaskalic acted as co-investigator with Professor Robert Boyd in the original feasibility study of the Invisalign appliance, becoming one of the first orthodontists in the world to develop and use the system. Together, they authored the first article on Invisalign in the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, 2000. During her 6 years at Pacific, Dr. Vlaskalic received several awards, including 3 from the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation. Aside from Invisalign, Dr. Vlaskalic is published in topics including measurement of orthodontic outcomes and root resorption, as well as presenting abstracts and papers at IADR and international orthodontic meetings. She has been instrumental in the introduction of Invisalign into many countries, including the USA, Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, China and more recently Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Since returning to Melbourne, Dr. Vlaskalic works in her orthodontic specialty practice as an Invisalign Platinum Provider and as a clinical instructor at the University of Melbourne where she collaborates with students and faculty researching various aspects of the Invisalign System.
