James Passamano's Affiliations

American Board of Orthodontics

The American Board of Orthodontics was founded in 1929 and is the oldest specialty board in dentistry. The American Board of Orthodontics was first established by Dr. Albert Ketcham and several colleagues who believed that the specialty of orthodontics should have a certifying body. The original objectives of the ABO were stated in the charter of incorporation "to elevate the standards of the practice of orthodontia; to familiarize the public with its aims and ideals; to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners."

American Association of Orthodontists

On this site, you can learn about orthodontists--specialists in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The correction of tooth and jaw alignment results in a healthy, attractive smile that's good for life.

Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists

The AAOPAC is a dynamic and vital group within the AAO. It is the only Political Action Committee that is devoted solely to advancing issues affecting the orthodontic profession.

California State Society of Orthodontists,

Founded in 1967, the California Association of Orthodontists represents over 1,000 specialists in orthodontics who practice in California. CAO members must also be members in good standing of the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists (PCSO), a constituent society of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Originally established as the California State Society of Orthodontists, the society changed its name to CAO in 1997.

American Dental Association

The American Dental Association has a long and rich history. It began in 1859 when twenty-six dentists met in Niagara Falls, New York to form a professional society. Learn more about the ADA through the years and how it functions.

California Dental Association

Are you a California dentist who wants to know more about the state’s leading professional dental association? Are you looking for information about good oral health? Either way, you’ve come to the right place. The California Dental Association is the largest statewide dental association in the country, and our nearly 24,000 members represent almost 70 percent of dentists practicing in the state. The CDA organization is comprised of CDA, the CDA Foundation, The Dentists Insurance Company, and TDIC Insurance Solutions. Founded in 1870, we are part of a membership structure that includes 32 local dental societies and the American Dental Association. In fact, we are proud to say we represent the single largest membership in the American Dental Association. One out of seven ADA members is also a member of CDA.

Orange County Dental Society

In 1913, there were only seven dentists located in Orange County. These seven dentists were then members of the Los Angeles Dental Society. In 1919, a small group of Orange County dentists got together and established the Orange County Dental Society. It became apparent that the local society would be a success so,in December of 1921, they officially applied for a charter with the Southern California Dental Association. On April 14, 1948, the Orange County Dental Society was officially incorporated as a 501(c)6, non-profit organization.
