AAO DOS Sponsors Crest Oral-B Henry Schein® Orthodontics The Program “This is a worry-free program. The orthodontist is free from any need to assess or validate patients’ financial situations, as we would usually have to do in providing charity care on our own.” – Dr. Barry Raphael AAO Member in Montville, NJ Established in 2009, the AAO Donated Orthodontic Services (DOS) program provides nationwide access to orthodontic treatment for children in need. The program’s mission is to serve indigent children without insurance coverage or that do not qualify for other assistance in their state of residence. The program is overseen by a Board of Directors comprised of both AAO member orthodontists and corporate supporters from leading orthodontic suppliers and is a 501(c)(3) organization.
