What Does the American
Association of Orthodontists Do?
Introduction
 William Fay, DDS, works as an orthodontist at his practice in South San
Francisco. The work of William Fay, DDS, has led him to join the
American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), a professional group that
advocates for the interests of orthodontists across the United States.
The AAO's mission has four distinct components. The first deals with the
advancement of orthodontic practice in a safe, ethical manner and
improving the overall quality of orthodontic and facial orthopedic
treatments.
The next two pillars of the AAO deal with the improvement of public
health and awareness, including the promotion of quality care and the
education of non-orthodontists about treatment options and
qualifications. The final pillar is that of active support of practicing AAO
members.
The AAO accomplishes these goals through a hybrid strategy that
includes seminars, conferences, online resources, publications, and
advocacy. Members have access to a large online resource library as
well as a database on legal issues. The group's political wing, AAOPAC,
advocates for orthodontists' interests in the public sphere.
