who have sleep disorders. CAO has developed
these brochures as a helpful informational
resource that you can provide to your patients,
parents, and referring colleagues.
The brochures provide information on the
following:

 Signs, symptoms, and physical characteristics
that may indicate a sleep disorder
 Risk factors for development of sleepdisordered breathing
 Treatment options for management of sleep
apnea
 Resources for finding a sleep specialist in
your area
CAO also offers "You and Your Orthodontist"
brochures - which are a popular version of
informed consent - as well as "Smile. . . Now
Let's See Your Bite," formerly the "Bite Down
Early" brochure. Smile brochures are a great
resource for parents, offering guidance on what
to watch for as their child's dentition develops.
Find more information on these brochures and
how to order them online.
Orthodontic Peer Review Calibration
CAO will once again sponsor an annual orthodontic Peer Review calibration workshop for
members wishing to serve on review panels
when complaints arise with orthodontic colleagues. These workshops afford orthodontists
who experience dental board complaints the
privilege of being reviewed by peers rather than
general dentists (who are not familiar with standard orthodontic practices). The session will be
held on Friday, November 2 at the Tri-County Dental Society in Riverside. Email Ann Sebaugh with
questions, or to register for the session.

Idaho
On June 15, the Idaho State Orthodontic Society (ISOS) was proud to
host lecturer Dr. Bill Dischinger at
the Idaho State Dental Association
Annual Session in Boise. The number of attending orthodontists is up from recent years, which
is encouraging! Outreach for membership
involvement and AAOPAC contributions has continued, as we are striving for a bright future.
President Layne McCord (RMSO), President-Elect
Justin Ward (RMSO), and Secretary-Treasurer
Travis Tingey (PCSO) continued with their twoyear terms in office.

Nevada
The Nevada State Orthodontic
Society (NSOS) hosted its Annual
Meeting on March 2 in Las Vegas.
We had a fantastic meeting, with
around 60 orthodontists in attendance, including
residents from University of Nevada, Las Vegas,
and Roseman. Dr. Lisa Alvetro was our speaker
and gave an exciting presentation on 3-D printing, Class II correction using the Forsus appliance,
and practice management. We were also treated
to a presentation about PCSO activities by our
PCSO Past-President Dr. Paul Kasrovi.
At our business meeting, we said goodbye to our
outgoing president, Dr. Jahnavi Rao. We were fortunate to have her leadership over the past two
years and are excited that she will be continuing
to represent us as a delegate to the AAO. Our
incoming president is Dr. Arnie Pitts from Reno -
we look forward to his tenure as president. At the
meeting we discussed the benefits Nevada has
