IOF (International Orthodontics Foundation) is an international academic organization in orthodontics and related fields. Founded by CareCapital Group and a plentitude of professionals in orthodontics and related fields around the world, the Organization is committed to supporting cutting-edge research and providing quality training and education.
Founding members from North America, Europe, and China are devoted to making the foundation an academic platform for the orthodontic industry with international standards and practice, a global vision, and a strong commitment.
The founding members remain focused on improving patient care by providing comprehensive quality training and education, innovative and clinical research grants, and providing an international network to professionals for lifelong learning in orthodontics and related fields.
Globally, especially in many developing countries, there has been an increasingly growing gap between people's health and the supply of the orthodontics industry. According to the founders of IOF, providing high-quality orthodontic treatment for such a big number of patients requires multiple resources gathered together. The IOF experts need to pass on the expertise and they hope to pass on their hard-earned academic achievements and clinical experience to young practitioners all over the world. This will directly influence and promote the future development of the industry. The industry also needs to keep innovating. The industry must continue to effectively improve diagnosis and treatment, working procedures, and patient satisfaction by putting more work into developing and popularizing digital technology, new materials, and new tools. Lastly, the industry needs to create a wide network. An exchange and interaction mechanism for the orthodontic industry around the globe needs to be built so that individuals can share strengths as well as boost cooperation between academic and industrial circles, and build an international chain that includes: innovation, academics, technology, clinics, products, service, and experience. With these values, the industry will truly benefit patients around the world.
These challenges have catalyzed the birth of IOF and inspired this symposium. The 1st IOF International Orthodontics symposium will be held online from June,3rd ~ 5th, and will focus on key issues in the development of orthodontics today. Experts and academic leaders from all around the world, each with their own, unique perspectives will give keynote speeches, and explore solutions together. Additionally, the IOF will be officially inaugurated during the symposium and the first round of applications for the IOF Research Grants will be launched. This will provide more diversified chances for international cooperation between young scholars who are interested in innovative research in the orthodontics industry.
