Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the Asian Pacific Orthodontic Society (APOS), I am honoured to extend a warm welcome to all delegates attending the Asian Pacific Orthodontic Congress (APOC) 2026, taking place from 6 - 8 November 2026 in the vibrant city of Singapore.
This will be a combined meeting, along with the Association of Orthodontists (Singapore) who are graciously taking on the roles of both host and co-organiser of this prestigious event. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and commitment to excellence have set the stage for an exceptional Congress.
We are excited to see the inspiring programme and vibrant social events AOS have planned for all our members and participants from across the Asian Pacific region.
There will also be a residents/postgraduate meeting on 5 November 2026 for presentations of both research and clinical cases.
The APOC 2026 theme, “Creating Smiles, Connecting Peoples: Integrity, Inspiration and Innovation,” speaks to the heart of our profession. The Congress will not only be a platform for learning and professional development, but also a reminder of the importance of integrity in our clinical practice towards our patients and colleagues; the power of innovation to transform patient care, and the inspiration we draw from one another in our shared journey as orthodontists.
Singapore, our host city, is a modern and dynamic destination with much to offer. From its renowned architecture and cultural attractions to its world-class cuisine and hospitality, delegates will find no shortage of enriching experiences outside the congress halls. Its central location and excellent transport links also make it a highly accessible destination for our regional and international colleagues.
With a robust scientific programme, insightful workshops, an exciting exhibition, vibrant networking and amazing social events, APOC 2026 promises to be a truly memorable Congress.
We invite all orthodontic professionals—from established practitioners to residents—to join us in Singapore for this important gathering of the Asian Pacific orthodontic community.
We look forward to seeing you at APOC 2026!
Warm regards,
Kieran O’Neill
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On behalf of the Association of Orthodontists (Singapore), it is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the Asian Pacific Orthodontic Congress (APOC), taking place from 6 - 8 November 2026 at the iconic Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
With the theme “Creating Smiles, Connecting Peoples: Integrity, Inspiration and Innovation,” this congress promises to be a landmark gathering of the orthodontic community across the Asia Pacific region. As we come together to share knowledge, forge new collaborations, and celebrate our shared commitment to advancing orthodontic care, we hope the event will inspire both clinical excellence and meaningful connections.
The APOC 2026 will feature a dynamic Scientific Conference and Pre- and Post-congress day Workshops, where leading experts will share the latest advancements in orthodontics, innovative technologies, and evidence-based practices.
Complementing the scientific programme, the Exhibition Hall will showcase a curated list of exhibitors representing the forefront of orthodontic innovation. Delegates will have the opportunity to explore the latest products, services, and solutions designed to enhance clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.
We are especially excited to spotlight our younger colleagues with both a dedicated Residents' Symposium and Scientific Poster Competition. Both events will help foster regional collaboration, friendships and further research.
Beyond the lecture halls, we've also curated a vibrant programme of social events to foster camaraderie and community. Join us at the Welcome Reception on the opening evening for a night of conversation and celebration. On Day 2, lace up your running shoes for the AOSC Run, a refreshing way to start the day with fellow delegates while enjoying the Garden City, Singapore.
As your hosts, the Association of Orthodontists (Singapore) is honoured to welcome friends, colleagues, and partner associations from across the region. We look forward to an enriching congress filled with learning, connection, and shared inspiration.
See you in Singapore!
Warm regards,
Mohan & Enrica
