Advocacy
Key Issues That Matter
NYSSO is committed to protecting and advancing the interests of orthodontists through active advocacy at the state and regional levels. We monitor policy developments, collaborate with partners like the AAO and NESO, and keep members informed about issues affecting clinical practice and the profession as a whole.
Updates on legislative activity in New York
NYSSO actively monitors state legislation and regulatory changes that affect orthodontic practices, insurance policies, licensure requirements, and patient care in New York. Members receive timely updates on proposals that could impact their work—whether they’re still in committee or heading to a vote—along with clear explanations of what’s at stake.
Collaboration with AAO’s Council on Governmental Affairs
As a constituent of the AAO, NYSSO works closely with the Council on Governmental Affairs (COGA) to ensure a unified voice on broader legislative issues that extend beyond state borders. This partnership allows NYSSO to advocate effectively on topics such as workforce legislation, dental benefit plans, and regulatory standards—amplifying member interests at the national level while aligning efforts across the profession.
Member alerts and calls to action
When legislation demands quick response, NYSSO mobilizes members through targeted alerts and clear calls to action. Whether it’s contacting a legislator, submitting public comment, or attending a local hearing, members are equipped with the information and tools they need to make their voices heard and contribute to meaningful change.
