Component Reports
our members to assess their needs, concerns, and
ways the ASOA could help them. We also talked
about promoting the culture of collaboration, creating
a stronger relationship with the Arizona Dental
Association, working on our website, setting up
quarterly meetings, and beginning the preparation
for the December Annual Session. The next speaker
for our Annual Session in December will be Dr.
Michael Gunson, an oral maxillofacial surgeon, and
it was decided to invite the oral surgeons to join us.
The Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health
(ASDOH) postgraduate orthodontic program continues
its dedication to the profession and community
through Dr. Jae Hyun Park, the program director.
Dr. Park was named the 2021 PCSO Award of Merit
honoree. He was thanked for his contribution as
PCSO Bulletin Editor-in-Chief and as deputy editor of
the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial
Orthopedics clinical companion journal. He is also
an ABO clinical examiner and is involved in editorial
positions in several orthodontic and clinical journals.
The ASDOH orthodontic program directors decided
to work with the American Association of Orthodontists
Foundation and Donated Orthodontic Services
and donate 12 orthodontic treatments to children
in need for this year. ASDOH held its graduation on
December 9, 2021, during which the five residents
received their MS degree in orthodontics. The second-year
residents will take the written ABO exam
in April, and first-year residents will take the Tweed
course in May in Tucson. In July, we are expecting
our new class consisting of one male and four
female residents.
The Arizona Study Group has resumed in-person meetings
and has already presented lectures sponsored by
Brius, GC, 3M, and Ormco, in which they shared clinical
and scientific information and insights about the latest
developments in their products and services. The
March meeting is sponsored by Light Force, and we
are looking forward to learning more about the new
advancements in their customized braces and systems.
Dr. Michael Papademetriou
President, Phoenix, AZ
British Columbia
The British Columbia (BC) Society of
Orthodontists held our first meeting
of 2022 on January 31. Representatives
from Canadian Dental Service
Plans Inc. (CDSPI), a national dental insurer, were on
hand to update our membership on changes to our
malpractice and practice insurance policies after government-mandated
COVID-related shutdowns.
Our new website is now live, providing a more user-friendly
experience for both members and the general
public looking to find an orthodontist in BC. We
have also added a complaints section to the website;
the British Columbia Society of Orthodontists (BCSO)
will file complaints to The Royal College of Dentists
of Canada on behalf of members who come across
a BC dentist in violation of college guidelines. This is
most commonly used to report GP dentists who are
advertising as specialists in orthodontics.
For the first time, the Canadian Association of Orthodontists
collected dues on behalf of the BCSO. This
led to a 30% increase in membership from 2021. We
currently have 86 members, which is just less than half
of the total number of orthodontists in the province.
Our next meeting will take place virtually on May 2,
and we hope to be able to meet in person for the first
time in more than two years at our September Annual
General Meeting.
Dr. Melanie Mattson
Secretary, Nelson, BC
California
The California Association of Orthodontists
(CAO) remains focused on
legislative advocacy. We have begun
a second year with an outside lobbying
firm to build on the foundation laid last year for
CAO engagement at the state capitol. Our legislative
committee is currently working with the firm to
coordinate our first Advocacy Day scheduled to be
held on March 29. The day will involve CAO members
engaged in virtual meetings and outreach with leg24
