Published by the Honolulu Star Bulletin, 1925 Author: Edited by George F. Nellist ALBERT CLIFFORD BRALY, Dental Surgeon. Practicing his profession in Honolulu for a number of years, Dr. A. C. Braly has recently been identified with an unusual but valuable phase of public instruction. As head of the Honolulu Dental Infirmary, endowed by Mrs. George R. Carter as a memorial to her father, Dr. Braly has directed the instruction of hundreds of school children in dental hygiene and a number of young women have been graduated from the institution for work in the public schools as dental hygienists. Under Dr. Braly’s supervision since its establishment in 1921, the Honolulu Dental Infirmary became one of the leading institutions of its kind in the United States. Much of its equipment, with an annual maintenance fund of $18,000, has recently been transferred to the Palama Settlement Association. In his private practice, Dr. Braly now devotes his time exclusively to orthodontia, that branch of dentistry devoted to the correction of irregular teeth. He came to Hawaii in 1916 and located on the island of Kauai, but in a few months removed to Honolulu, where he has since practiced. Born at Lewisburg, Tenn., Nov. 18, 1882, Dr. Braly is the son of William Albert and Mary Isabel (White) Braly. He received his education at Webb’s Preparatory School, Bell Buckle, Tennessee, and obtained his degree at Vanderbilt University, where, during his senior year, he was assistant demonstrator. He remained at the university as assistant to the chair of prosthetic dentistry and teacher of prosthetic (technic) dentistry from 1908 to 1915. Dr. Braly and Kathryn Davis were married at Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 7, 1904. They have two children, Sarah Isabel and Walker Davis Braly. Dr. Braly is a member of the University and Oahu Country Clubs, the Dental Society of Hawaii, and holds memberships in the National Dental Association, Tennessee Dental Association and Nashville Society of Stomatology.
