Welcome from 2024-2025 President Michael LaFerla
On behalf of the MSO Board of Directors, it's my pleasure to welcome you to the Midwestern Society of Orthodontists (MSO) website.
I really appreciate our Board of Directors, Delegates to the AAO, and representatives on AAO Councils, committees, and affiliate organizations for dedicating their time and talents. We also welcome and would appreciate your involvement in helping our profession, so please reach out and get involved. The MSO has strong history of leadership in the AAO. There are so many opportunities with various time commitments to meet your availability.
The 2025 MSO Annual Session will occur on September 12th and 13th at the Radisson Blu Hotel at the Mall of America in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington, Minnesota. This is a great location for everyone (doctors, staff and family). The hotel is connected to the Mall of America that has tons of shopping, adventure parks and restaurants for your entertainment. And the early fall weather should be excellent.
Our program is tailored for the entire team, with speakers presenting the latest in orthodontics and team building. This will be a perfect meeting to bring the entire office to for some enjoyable learning, camaraderie as well as early Christmas shopping. Friday is focused on surgical correction of sleep apnea and TMD. Please feel free to invite your oral surgery colleagues as well.
It is an honor to serve as your MSO President and I appreciate your trust. Your continued membership and involvement is what makes our organization strong and protects our wonderful orthodontic profession.
Michael R. LaFerla, DDS, MS
