Greeting

President's Welcome

Dear orthodontic fellows:

Recently, implant orthodontics has gained a huge momentum in Asia, because more Asian adults are seeking orthodontic treatment than other parts of the world. As non-compliance orthodontic treatment was prevailing in last decade, implant orthodontics will open another important orthodontic era for absolute anchorage at the beginning of the 21^st century.

We have honor and privilege to host the 3^rd Asian Implant Orthodontic Conference in Taipei, Taiwan. We have invited the most outstanding speakers to participate. We have chosen the best conference site, which is located just next to the world tallest building- Taipei 101. We have prepared the most exotic cuisine, well entertained social programs, in addition to the best hospitality from our Taiwanese orthodontists.

We have prepared everything for you, but your participation is the only way to make this conference successfully. Please register earlier to enjoy the special discount rate for the conference and hotel. I will anticipate welcoming you personally in the most beautiful island of the world - Formosa.
