The Society was created to provide continuing information about developments in clear aligner therapy, and develop a strong backup to the formal training that takes place at postgraduate level.
As an over-arching members’ Association, EAS aims to provide membership services which will form the basis of the ‘aligner’ community; provide support to members; offer advice and guidance; and make resources available to support and develop education in clear aligner therapy.
Landmarks
The EAS will formally launch at the World Federation of Orthodontists Congress at Excel in London on September 27-30, 2015. Potential members are invited to visit stand 548 to meet the Society founders and sign up.
It has just been announced that the EAS’ inaugural conference – 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 workshops led by some of the world’s foremost aligner exponents. A full programme will be available at the WFO meeting.
As part of its remit to provide education in aligner therapy, the EAS’ first live one hour webinar ‘Aligner Therapy and Biomechanics’ was presented by the Society President Graham Gardener in mid-June. This can now be viewed free of charge on the education page of the EAS website www.eas-aligners.com/education
The Society has also attracted support from a number of the aligner companies including Align Technology.
