Alignment is on the programme

Volume 31 · Issue 6

The European Aligner Society, which was formally launched at the International Orthodontic Congress in late September 2015, has announced its inaugural congress.

‘Aligners, a clear new era in orthodontics’ - will take place in Vienna on February 13-14, 2016.  The directors of the society have put together a programme of lectures and hands-on workshops led by some of the world’s foremost aligner exponents. 

 Because the congress takes place over February 13-14, the President’s Dinner will have a Valentine’s Day theme and delegates are being encouraged to invite their significant others to join them in Vienna for a weekend which celebrates alignment – both clinical and personal!
