When it comes to staging a magnificent World Congress, there is no place in the world like Sydney.

Your Invitation to Participate
The WFO was formed at the 4^th International Orthodontic Congress (IOC) in San Francisco by 69 organizations from 62 countries in May 1995. The WFO now consists of 93 organizations from 88 counties and more than 6,500 orthodontists have become WFO fellows.

The purpose of the WFO is to advance the art and science of orthodontics throughout the world. One of the ways the WFO aims to achieve this objective is by organizing the International Orthodontic Congress, a true World Congress, which is held every 5 years.

The Scientific program for the 7^th International Orthodontic Congress will involve plenary sessions, symposia abstracts and posters. There will also be industry sponsored satellite symposia and a large technical exhibition. Many international experts will present state-of-the-art lectures in all aspects of modern orthodontics, providing a unique educational and scientific forum.
