Welcome to the Canadian Association of Orthodontists website.

The CAO is a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting Canadian orthodontists in our efforts to provide the highest possible quality of orthodontic care to our patients. 

We invite you to explore our web site to learn more about orthodontics. Check out our "Facts and Information" section to find information describing the specialty of orthodontics and what is required to become an orthodontic specialist. If you are looking to find specialty orthodontic care for yourself or a family member,  the "Find An Orthodontist" section can provide you with contact information for qualified orthodontic specialist members in your area. Explore the provided "Links" for connections with some other associations of interest.

If you are considering orthodontic treatment, or are already undergoing orthodontic treatment and have questions, you will find a wealth of information about treatment methods, orthodontic appliances, care of teeth and appliances and management of problems with orthodontic appliances.

Please use our "Contact Us" section to make comments, ask questions or inquire how you can learn more about orthodontics and revisit our web site from time to time as new and updated information is posted.

We wish you much success as you and your orthodontic specialist work together towards a new, beautiful and healthy smile.

Dr. Ritchie Mah
President, Canadian Association of Orthodontists
