American Association of Orthodontists

Use “Ask an Orthodontist” to ask general questions about orthodontic treatment.

You will receive an answer as quickly as possible from our panel of practicing AAO-member orthodontists, usually within 2-3 business days. The AAO regrets that this service cannot provide a second opinion, and that questions about fees for orthodontic treatment or orthodontic appliances, or about a specific individual’s diagnosis, treatment plan, appliances used, etc., or questions from anyone age 17 or under, cannot be answered. Please consult an AAO orthodontist.

All fields are required and you must agree to our Terms of Use before you can submit a question.

Students who are doing a report on orthodontics or orthodontists are invited to visit www.AAOmembers.org/resources/index.cfm and scroll down to "Working on a Research Paper?" which is posted at the bottom of that page.
