A Community Dedicated to Orthodontic Excellence Across Europe
The European Orthodontic Society is a not for profit association, registered as a charity.
Our key aims are to advance all aspects of orthodontics and its relations with the collateral arts and sciences for the public benefit, and seek the furtherance of orthodontics amongst all branches of the dental profession working in private practice, hospitals and universities throughout Europe.
The aims of the society are listed in the articles of association, available here.
The Society is affiliated to the World Federation of Orthodontists and has close co-operation with the European Federation of Orthodontic Specialists Association.
We offer a wide number of benefits to members. These benefits include subscription to the EJO, ability to participate in the EBO examinations as well as discounted event and annual congress subscription.
As a charitable organisation, we are not in a position to issue political statements and / or comment on political events in Europe or elsewhere
Our History
We were delighted to celebrate 100 years of the Society in 2007 and a book featuring background, stories and photos was put together to mark this. It is a wonderful read with lots of surprising stories.
