About Adaptive Orthodontics
Adaptive Orthodontics helps general dentists bring practical, digital orthodontics into everyday practice.
It is not about becoming a specialist overnight.
It is about learning a clear, usable workflow so you can assess cases better, plan with more confidence, and begin building modern in-house orthodontic capability.
Why AO is different
Adaptive Orthodontics is built on a problem-based learning model.
That means you do not just sit through theory and hope to use it later. You learn by working through real clinical problems in the same way they show up in practice.
So while you learn, you are also building real orthodontic capability inside your practice.
That makes the training more practical, easier to retain, and far more useful than theory-heavy education that stays on the shelf.
Who AO is for
AO is designed for:
- general dentists who want a realistic entry point into orthodontics
- practice owners who want to build more capability in-house
- clinicians who want practical workflow guidance, not fluff
- dentists who know digital is the future and want a clear place to start
A faster path to value
Most education gives you information first and application much later.
Adaptive Orthodontics is different.
AO is designed to help you learn in a way that supports real treatment, real workflow change, and real practice growth. You are not learning in a vacuum. You are learning in a way that can be applied earlier, with a faster path to value.

Adaptive Orthodontics was founded by Dr. Michael C. Ho, a general dentist with more than 35 years of clinical experience and an early background in computer science.
AO was built to make digital orthodontics simpler, clearer, and more practical for general practice.
