2023 ORTHO TOWNIE CHOICE AWARDS PUBLIC NOTICE
This notice is to provide the purpose, methodology and input required

orthodontic professionals with an impartial resource to assist them
in their selection of orthodontic products, equipment and services.

products, equipment and services are developed, with the aid of
multiple industry resources and the Orthotown online community.

exclusion of any products, equipment or services listed on the voting
ballot. All entries are subject to review. Companies shall not offer
incentives to any existing or future Townie for voting for a specific
product; failure to comply will result in disqualification from the ballot.
VOTING PROCESS: Voting is done online. One ballot per licensed
clinician.
