Dr. Patricia Beals is a craniofacial orthodontist at Barrow. In 1991, she earned a BS from Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pennsylvania. In 1996 she earned a doctorate degree in medical dentistry (DMD) from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Philadelphia. In 1998, she received a master’s of science degree from Temple University, Philadelphia, and completed an orthodontic residency at Temple University School of Dentistry.
From 1999 to 2006, Dr. Beals held faculty and hospital appointments in the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine Department of Orthodontics, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia–Division of Plastic Surgery, and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania–Department of Oral Surgery.
Dr. Beals sees patients through the Children’s Rehabilitative Services’ cleft lip and palate clinic, as well as through the BCFC craniofacial and maxillofacial clinics.
Dr. Beals is affiliated with national and local professional organizations. She is a member of the American Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Association, the American Association of Orthodontists, and the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists. She is an author of several peer reviewed original papers on topics including maxillary expansion, mandibular dimensions in children with obstructive sleep apnea, treatment-related factors of external apical root resorption, recurrent intraoral pyogenic granuloma with satellitosis treated with corticosteroids, and mid-face growth in patients with EEC Syndrome.
Her research interests include midface growth of children born with orofacial clefts, facial distraction of children with craniofacial differences and nasoalveolar molding, a presurgical technique available to infants born with severe clefts of the lip and palate. Dr. Beals lectures nationally and internationally on these topics as well as on the oral manifestations of craniofacial disorders and the orthodontic management of children with craniofacial conditions.
Dr. Beals loves gardening and traveling in her spare time. She returns home to Philadelphia to visit her grown sons whenever she can.
