The British Orthodontic Society is delighted to announce that Professor Jonathan Sandler will take on the role of president of the Society and David Birnie as honorary patron. Both will take up their roles in January 2018.

Professor Jonathan describes his role as “the pinnacle of his professional career.” Jonathan has been a consultant orthodontist at Chesterfield Royal Hospital for nearly 25 years and in that time built up an international reputation as a teacher, researcher and clinician. He has been directly involved in many RCTs, into both growth modification and the use of osseointegrated implants and TADs. He has authored and co-authored many book chapters, and over 120 clinical and scientific papers. As the chairman of the International Committee of the British Orthodontic Society, he represents the BOS at the European Federation of Orthodontic Societies' annual meetings. Jonathan is one of three UK diplomates of the European Board of Orthodontics and has been a European Board of Orthodontics examiner for the past 5 years. Jonathan is currently half way through his presidency of the 'Angle Society of Europe'.

His highest profile role to date for the BOS was as chairman of the organising committee of the eighth World Orthodontic Conference 2015, a task which involved 8 years of planning.
