WARM GREETINGS!
It seems like it was only yesterday when orthodontic treatment was only for a privileged few in the Philippines. This specialty which we love has grown exponentially over the past few decades. On August 1 and 2, 2016, we will celebrate the continued growth of Philippine Orthodontics by giving you a special 10th Biennial Orthodontic Congress with the theme:
"Mind the Gap: Simple Biomechanics for Difficult Orthodontic Cases"
As practitioners, we have all been through situations where a clinical case did not turn out as originally planned to our full satisfaction.
On some occasions, we encounter frustrating problems which sometimes lead to lengthy treatment time. We are in constant search for biomechanical technicques to help us come up with results that will be beneficial for our patients.
We are pleased to inform you that we have invited two (2) of the world's most sought-after speakers in their fields of expertise, Dr. Joe Varghese of India and Dr. Young Guk Park of Seoul Korea. Both of our speakers will share their knowledge and technical wizardry through presentation of unique clinical cases using methods that we can apply in our practices.
Take this time to join the APO as we celebrate our 10th Biennial National Congress. We look forward to meeting you all
in 2 days of learning fellowship.
