We are constituents of the AAO
You become a member of your constituent (regional) organization and your component (state) organization when you join the national organization – the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Membership in the AAO comes with a wealth of academic and professional resources, as well as access to a large support network of orthodontists, students, affiliates, and other dental and orthodontic professionals throughout the country.

Get Involved
The SSO offers many ways to get involved including our committees, volunteering at meetings and participation in our Leadership Development Class. We are happy to speak with you to identify the best volunteer opportunities. The more you put into your membership, the more you will gain – building connections with members, mentors, partners and creating lifelong friends.
Membership Renewal
Renewals can be completed online, by contacting the AAO Member Service Center at 314-993-1700 (option 0) or by returning the physical invoice that was mailed to you. Renewal invoices are typically made available in late May each year and remain open through November 15th. If it is outside this period, your renewal is likely not due at this time.
Changing Your Personal or Practice Information
It’s more important than ever to keep your membership information up-to-date, and easier, too! Information is used to send important information via mail or email. All information is used by the AAO Orthodontic Locator to send more potential patients your way. Updating your information with the AAO updates your constituent and component information too! You can update your information online or call the AAO at 800-424-2841.
