Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontics
What is the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontics and why is it important for your orthodontist to be a member?
Angle Society members are committed to the highest quality standards in orthodontic treatment.
The Edward H. Angle Society is the most important and prestigious orthodontic association in the world. It contributes to generating scientific research, as well as improving, innovating, and developing new treatment alternatives with the participation of a large number of clinical specialists and researchers worldwide, disseminating this knowledge through one of the most important scientific dental journals in the world of orthodontics, “The Angle Orthodontist.” The society is certified for its excellence in advancing orthodontic practices globally. Founded in 1930 by the fathers of orthodontics in the United States, it is made up of seven regional components in the US and two more in Europe and Asia.
What does it mean to be accredited as an orthodontist by the Angle Society?
Very few orthodontists in the world manage to achieve this privilege. This is due to the complexity of the requirements and the large number of exams that are necessary to achieve it.
To aspire to be a member of the Society, it is necessary to receive an invitation based on the orthodontist’s curriculum.
It is necessary to comply with the presentation of several clinical cases where the orthodontist is continuously examined by two specialists to assess their level of knowledge, as well as their ability to perform orthodontic treatments with high quality standards. This process can take from 2 to 5 years.
In the same way, it is necessary to write a scientific article and make a presentation that contributes significantly to the knowledge of the specialty of orthodontics.
Finally, once the orthodontist is accepted as a member, he undertakes to present two clinical cases to society annually, seeking to establish a continuous commitment to the highest quality and excellence in his treatments, as well as sharing new ideas and techniques that could direct the future of the specialty.
