RMO ® is proud of its heritage, history, and legacy and looks to forge new paths equally as rich in the global orthodontic market. Introduction Since the 1930’s, Rocky Mountain Orthodontics (RMO ® ), has made dramatic advances in the science of orthodontics, establishing itself as one of the leaders in a rapidly evolving field; a field that dramatically improves people’s lives. Since its formal incorporation, RMO ® has been known as a company of energy and ideas - traits that remain at the core of the company’s philosophy today. RMO ® is much more than a business and model of excellence among Colorado corporations. The company is the oldest privately held orthodontic firm in the United States, and is a Denver institution whose company history is tightly linked with the history of Denver and orthodontics itself. In the Beginning Before the advent of stainless steel, and prior to the founding of RMO ® , orthodontists had to be skilled craftsman as well as doctors. In fact, much of their time was spent devising, constructing, and maintaining their own oral appliances. Because those appliances were typically fabricated from gold alloy, which tended to loosen in a short period of time, a large part of an orthodontist’s work was dedicated to repairing and adjusting the appliances after they had been put into use. The orthodontist’s job demanded mechanical skill, diligence, and even artistry. And yes, for all of the effort involved, the occupation was often less than rewarding. Even the best orthodontic appliances of the day were woefully limited in their effectiveness. All of that changed with the development of versatile stainless steel alloys coupled with the ingenuity and foresight of RMO ® ’s founder, Dr. Achie Brusse, a pioneer Denver orthodontist. With a small but capable staff, and with help from an executive at the American Steel and Wire Company, RMO ® set about developing the first set of prefabricated orthodontic appliance system options; using stainless steel as the major component versus gold. After much clinical research and experimentation, the first system of appliances was unveiled in 1933 at the annual meeting of the American Association of Orthodontists, in Oklahoma City, OK. Reception was limited, and most recognized leaders of that time felt the appliances would not work. In time, the impact of these prefabricated devices on the world of orthodontics was dramatic. Simply put, they changed the face of dentistry. The wide variety of appliance shapes and sizes supplied by RMO ® enabled orthodontists to treat a diverse array of patients more effectively. RMO ® can be proud of the loyalty and the efforts of the employees and the local commercial suppliers who have helped it succeed and advance during the company’s history. RMO ® is, by all measures, an international standard, poised to build upon its legacy of excellence for decades to come. The Products RMO ® has always enjoyed being an innovator and visionary in the orthodontic market, pushing the practice of orthodontics to new frontiers while consistently providing a benchmark of quality for other companies to follow. One example of RMO ® ’s visionary concepts begin over 60 years ago when RMO ® introduced the “Snap Channel” bracket. Self-ligating may seem like a recent technology when in fact RMO® introduced this idea over 60 years ago. Synergy R ® represents a modern day “Snap Channel” Bracket created using sophisticated software programming tools, MIM technology, and precise engineering. This is only one example of how RMO ® has been consistently maximizing available technology and developing quality products for doctors and patients. Currently RMO ® serves all aspects of orthodontics. RMO ® recognizes that all patients differ and that all orthodontists vary in education, experience, treatment approach, appliance performance, and final detailing. Since the needs of every doctor vary, RMO ® is committed to developing practical Synergistic solutions. Synergy develops when two or more interactive parts of a system produce an effect in which the power of the interactions of the whole become far greater than the sum of the parts. RMO ® ’s attention to synergies provides practices with a wide selection of dependable treatment options. RMO ® serves three broad categories of orthodontics: Category 1- Diagnostics Increasingly RMO ® has emphasized the development of computer –aided diagnostic and treatment planning tools. These information innovations have provided powerful analytic information that has helped doctors and their staff effectively treat each patient’s individual growth and development. This results in improved outcomes, more predictable results, and less failure for patients. Since 1969, RMO Data Services ® (RMODS)has engaged in an ongoing program of progress through continuous research. RMODS ® is based upon case and research information derived from a worldwide orthodontic network consisting of practicing orthodontists, universities, and researchers. The information contains the latest scientific findings in the field of orthodontics. This information is used along with the doctors’ personal treatment philosophy to form a complete detailed analysis of each patient prior and during treatment.
