Content

The Journal accepts original articles of up to 2500 words which support the mission of the AACA to share, promote and advance knowledge and expertise for enhancing cosmetic outcomes through modern orthodontic techniques; to support, encourage and facilitate the dissemination of such knowledge and expertise among its membership; to assist members who dedicate themselves to excellence in these techniques; and to provide recognition for members who offer this treatment modality to patients.

Currently we are particularly looking for articles focusing on providing treatment with less stress, greater productivity, and greater profitability.
