Abstract:
This updated statement from the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) addresses the need for standardized communication regarding the status of board certification among orthodontic specialists. Since the original 2006 guidelines were published, changes in the orthodontic landscape have increased public confusion because of the growing number of nonspecialists offering orthodontic treatment. To support and promote ethical and consistent communication, the ABO now formally recommends the standardized use of the designation "ABO-Board Certified" following a board-certified orthodontist's academic credentials. This update clarifies the proper use of ABO Marks, aligns with professional standards endorsed by the American Dental Association and American Association of Orthodontists, and outlines a standardized order for credential presentation. It also emphasizes the importance of truthful and up-to-date representation of certification status, while warning against misrepresentation, which can carry serious ethical and professional consequences.
