Since our founding, AAOPAC’s primary objective has been to help create key relationships with elected officials so they will champion the policies that acknowledge and properly value the role orthodontists play, while protecting our profession and the health of our patients from detrimental legislation.  In recent years we have expanded these Capitol Hill relationships for support with our priorities in the regulatory environment and at the state level.

AAOPAC’s efforts fuel our advocacy success not only in Washington, DC, but in states throughout the country. We have seen tremendous advances in Washington, DC and in states by maximizing the strength of AAOPAC relationships in recent years.

Your financial support is an investment in the future of orthodontics and a commitment to ensuring the AAO remains at the forefront of policy decisions that shape our profession and ability to provide the highest quality care to our patients

As we celebrate this year’s success, we continue working to make a difference on issues like workforce shortages, offering solutions for student loan debt, addressing mail-order orthodontic patient health and safety concerns; and so much more. Your support through AAOPAC makes all the difference. Click here to hear from some of our own AAOPAC Board of Directors and AAO Leaders about why the AAOPAC is important to YOU!
