2025 AAO Ortho Innovator Award Contest

Do you have an innovative product or service in the world of orthodontics? Something that improves clinical outcomes, improves the patient experience or improves operational efficiencies? Submit your “elevator pitch” featuring the innovating AAO member orthodontist(s) via a 3-5 minute video addressing the AAO’s Committee on Technology. The committee may select one winner to receive the 2025 AAO Ortho Innovator award. The award will be presented at the 2025 AAO Annual Session in Philadelphia. In addition to a physical award, the winner will receive a $2,000 travel stipend and free booth space at 2026 AAO Annual Session. Submissions are due by January 31, 2025.

As part of the AAO’s strategic plan, we support innovation among members and partners in the industry.
