Abstract

IN REVIEWING or examining the anatomy of the American Association oi Orthodontists, we must begin with a basic structural analysis of the organizat,ion.

The Great Lakes Society of Orthodontists 3. The Southern Society of Orthodontists 4. The Southwestern Society of Orthodontists 5. The Rocky Mountain Society of Orthodontists 6. The Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists 7. The Midwestern Society of Orthodontists (until 1961 known iIs t.he Central Section of the American Association of Orthodontists) 8. The Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists. The Pacific Coast Society, by reason of its geographic unwieldiness, is divided into three components-Southern, Central, and Northern. The Northeastern Society embraces the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Pork and the Canadian provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island.
