On January 9, a new video was released showcasing what’s in store for the British Orthodontic Conference for all UK dental professionals with an interest in the specialty. The film can be viewed at www.bos.org.uk/BOC-Manchester-2017

BOC 2017 has the theme ‘Back to the Future’, reflecting the forward looking content of many of the presentations but also embracing the long tradition that makes orthodontics the oldest of all the specialties.

The BOS team, led by Richard Jones, is gearing up for BOC 2017 where more than 40 top speakers will be sharing their forward thinking ideas at the Manchester Conference Centre, on September 14-16, 2017. Following on from high demand in 2016, the masterclasses will be increased this year.

Professors Sabine Ruf and David Bearn will be discussing research methods and Nigel Harradine, one of the profession’s best loved speakers, will be looking back on a 40 year career. Meanwhile, digital technology in the specialty will be under scrutiny from Lars Christensen and Asif Chatoo and Dirk Wiechmann will deliver the annual Northcroft lecture.
