European Aligner Society Congress Vienna February 13-14, 2016
ALIGNERS: A CLEAR NEW ERA IN ORTHODONTICS
The European Aligner Society (EAS) is delighted to invite you to the 1st European Aligner Society
Congress taking place in Vienna on the February 13 and 14, 2016. Once every two years, the
world’s leading aligner clinicians and allied professionals will have the opportunity to meet,
network and exchange knowledge and ideas with colleagues and peers from across the European
Union and beyond. The Congress will provide the ideal forum for clinicians from Europe and across
the world to improve their knowledge and clinical skills and to enhance the science and art of
aligner orthodontics.
About the EAS
It is understood that each country (whether within the European Union or not) will have different
local needs provided by their local associations and organisations. The EAS does not intend or
want to replace those local associations but rather to create a resource full of knowledge,
opportunities for collaboration and sharing of information relating to all aspects of aligner therapy.
The EAS will provide that resource.
The EAS has been established to bring together all the clinicians and manufacturers who are
involved with aligner therapy to use their combined strengths to raise the awareness of the
effectiveness and the outcomes of aligner based treatment.
The European Aligner Society aims to provide information on orthodontic aligner therapy to
clinicians and the public through effective communication and education. Information will be
underpinned by research and the promotion of high standards in orthodontic aligner treatment.
Congress Programme
We are looking forward to this Congress providing a perfect forum for showcasing the latest
developments by renowned experts in the field. The programme will be defined by both
experience and innovation.
The Congress will begin on Saturday, February 13 with the Opening Ceremony and Keynote
Lecture at 09:30.
The Scientific Programme has been developed to cater for both the Orthodontists and the Allied
Health Professionals which include dental technicians, hygienists, dental attendants and office
staff. In addition to this programme, specific workshops on aligner therapy, new technologies and
diagnostic procedures will be held on Sunday, February 14.
A dedicated time for poster sessions will be provided throughout the congress.
