The AAO will soon break new ground with an interactive event, “Your Smile is Your Best Fashion Accessory™”. The event, which will be Wednesday, September 7 in New York City, is designed to align healthy, beautiful smiles with the buzz surrounding Fashion Week 2016. More than 44,000 daily visitors to New York’s Shops at Columbus Circle (located in the Time Warner Center) will be invited to explore the latest fashion, beauty and health products. Attendees at the event will also receive fashion pointers from Tai Beauchamp, InStyle magazine’s celebrity trend expert.

Be Part of the Fashion Event, No Matter Where You Are

Doctors, patients and the public can join the fun from anywhere with a free app. Download the app by searching Apple or Android stores for AAO Fashion Event or entering the following URL into a mobile browser: https://crowd.cc/s/iN9W.

The app will showcase live snippets of the excitement from the New York City event, plus fashion and grooming tips and tricks on how to create and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

App users can receive fall fashion insights from InStyle Magazine’s Tai Beauchamp and award-winning fashion blogger Sean Phillips. Users will also be able to submit questions to these fashion experts. In addition, the app will facilitate easy, real-time monitoring of the event’s social media posts.

The app includes a link to Find an Orthodontist on mylifemysmile.org. Both virtual and in-person guests can use it to find AAO members in their communities, and set a course to achieve their own timeless fashion accessory: a healthy, beautiful smile.
