American Orthodontics Garners Five More Orthotown® Townie Choice Awards
Sheboygan, Wisconsin — American Orthodontics is proud to be the winner of five 2021 Orthotown Townie Choice Awards, highlighted by again winning the Metal Twin bracket category. This is the ninth year in a row the company has been recognized for best-in-class products, and it has increased its total number of awards to 51 in the nine-year history of the competition. Orthodontic professionals vote based on their experiences with products and services across several categories.
In 2021, American Orthodontics’ MiniMaster Series brackets earned top honors in the Metal Twin category for the third consecutive year. Tanzo was once again the winner for Archwires, marking eight consecutive years of top honors. Many of American Orthodontics’ previous Townie Choice award winning products were combined into the single award category of Bands and Attachments in 2019, including MR1 Bands, Elastic Chain, Elastics Ligature Ties and Wires, Buttons, Coil Springs - Closed, and Coil Springs – Open, and American Orthodontics again won this category in 2020 and 2021. For the ninth consecutive year, AO won the Direct Bond Molar Tube competition, featuring the ifit buccal tubes. For the 6th time, Wildlife Series Elastics was judged best in class for Elastics and Elastomerics.
“Being recognized by the orthodontic community as the best in the business for nine years in a row is an achievement we do not take for granted,” says American Orthodontics CEO Randy Benz. “These awards are voted on by the orthodontic practitioners themselves, affirming our work of providing the highest quality products at the best value in the industry. It’s an honor we take pride in.”
