After spending time with Edward Angle there, he returned to Connecticut to practice as its first orthodontic specialist. He also started teaching at the Alfred C. Fones School of Dental Hygiene. In 1947 he started the Fones School of Oral Hygiene at Bridgeport University. Along with teaching dental hygiene, Strang remained active in his orthodontic career, giving lectures at different universities. He started giving orthodontic lectures at Temple University until 1960.
