Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists

Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists  

Welcome to the website for the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists (MASO). We are a constituent of the American Association of Orthodontists. MASO represents the 1100 member orthodontists from the States of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Eastern Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., as well as, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The website contains information on MASO leadership, news, and information on upcoming meetings.

For the first time ever MASO will hold its annual Spring CE event at a dental school within the constituency. This years event featuring Dr. Richard Roblee on “Interdisciplinary Management of Esthetic Problems in the Gray Zone” will be held in the new educational facility of the New Jersey Dental School in Newark, New Jersey. The dental school is easily assessable by train, plane and automobile. Because of the broad interest of this topic among all specialists we hope that you will consider inviting your periodontist and prosthodontist friends to attend.

The 2009 MASO annual meeting will be held at the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey from November 3rd through the 6th. There will be some very stimulating scientific sessions for both orthodontists and staff not to mention the shows, dining and games for which Atlantic City is famous. Events are being planned for spouses and non-gamers.  Please mark your calendar and plan to join us for what promises to be a great educational and fun-filled experience.

MASO and the AAO are not just about receiving but about giving back to the profession that has afforded us so many opportunities. To serve our respective communities through the professional care that we render to our patients places us in a unique position of trust. I hope that all of you will join me in making our society grow and in providing the services and expertise that only we can. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, a wonderful career in the practice and teaching of orthodontics and now hope that I can serve all of you as President of MASO.

MASO is and has been run by volunteers and is member-driven. We are always looking for people to help in our effort. We have leadership opportunities at various levels of commitment. I would encourage anyone interested in volunteering to contact me at binderre@umdnj.edu or the MASO office at 866-748-MASO or MASO@AssnOffices.com.
