As a professional society we have patients at the very heart of everything we do and are a trusted, expert resource to both patients and members alike.
The society has two primary objectives, the first is to our members, who are predominantly professional orthodontists who pay for society membership. The second is in our external facing work with members of the public, offering advice and support for orthodontic queries.
