We have together 46 world-renowned speakers as invited guests, to whom we are indebted for their invaluable contribution to Orthodontics not only in the Asian Pacific region but the World over. This APOC presents a perfect opportunity for reminiscing with old friends as well as the chance to meet new friends and colleagues.

Along with this exciting scientific program, an exhibition of cutting-edge quality of Orthodontic products as well as some folk art, jewelry and souvenirs will be displayed.

The Grand Opening Ceremony and Closing Ceremony have been carefully planned and reviewed in an effort to make the Conference a celebratory event. In case you are interested in seeing more of Thailand and our neighboring countries, we have arranged various tour programs to accommodate you.
