It is my pleasure as President of the American Association of Orthodontists to introduce a new, exclusive, member resource unveiled this week. AAO TechSelect is a comprehensive, unbiased resource for in-house fabrication of aligners. Through this program, members can learn about the process, research products, and save money by locking in the best prices from trusted partners.
Members expressed a need for these tools, and the AAO has delivered with over 40 videos, guides and interactive tools. AAO TechSelect is a research tool that provides an in-depth examination of the key criteria established by AAO’s Committee on Technology and allows you to evaluate products needed to fabricate in-house aligners for your practice.
There are several benefits to in-house fabrication of aligners including customized treatment plans, lower lab fees, and the ability to deliver aligners as soon as same-day. Furthermore, these benefits provide the opportunity to expand your patient base by offering high-quality, cost-effective, and convenient treatment options for minor cases. We believe that AAO members will find great value in TechSelect resources and the implementation of in-house fabrication of aligners should they decide it’s a good fit for their practice.
AAO TechSelect is the first of many programs from the AAO’s Innovation & Transformation Fund established by the 2019 House of Delegates.
And thank you, as always, for your membership in the American Association of Orthodontists.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ken Dillehay
President, American Association of Orthodontists
