Sheboygan, WI — American Orthodontics is proud to announce the creative marketing team of the company has won six International MarCom Awards, including a prestigious Platinum Award and two Gold Awards. Out of more than 6,000 entries worldwide, only 15% of those earned Platinum status, 20% earned Gold, while 10% received Honorable Mention.

AO’s Iconix Typodont Display Box won a Platinum Award in the Packaging Design category. Iconix stainless steel champagne colored brackets are a popular offering in aesthetic brackets and the Typodont Display Box allows a typodont model with affixed brackets to be shipped and then converted into a display box that matches the elegance of Iconix brackets.

AO garnered a Gold Award for its Beyond The Brackets: Bonding Protocol literature in the Brochure category and also earned a Gold Award for its corporate website redesign. AO also achieved Honorable Mention status for three of its print brochures, Empower 2 Clear Braces, Radiance Plus Clear Braces, and How To Care For Your Braces. All six of the entries of the company were recognized, a record number for American Orthodontics.

These awards are judged and bestowed by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) and honor the creativity, concept, writing, and design of print, visual, audio and web materials.
