The British Orthodontic Society is the largest of the dental specialist groups and is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of orthodontics for the benefit of patients.
The Society was formed in 1994 by the merger of several smaller societies, but its origins go back to 1907 when the first orthodontic study group was formed in the UK. Alongside its traditional focus on research and on promotion of the highest clinical and ethical standards, the Society and its members aim to increase understanding of orthodontics and the benefits offered by treatment.NHS Direct
