Dear Colleagues and Distinguished Guests,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you to the 8th Annual Conference of the Vietnam Association of Orthodontists (VAO), held in the beautiful city of Da Nang, Vietnam.

This year’s conference is more than just a scientific event, it serves as a premier intellectual hub where the Vietnamese orthodontic community connects with the world. Here, practitioners will have the opportunity to learn directly from leading global experts, engage in academic exchange, broaden their perspectives, and stay updated on the latest scientific advancements. These efforts contribute to the sustainable growth of orthodontics both regionally and globally.

Alongside an intensive and diverse scientific program, our exhibition area featuring over 40 booths will provide access to the most advanced and prestigious dental technologies, materials, and solutions available today. It is our hope that every participant will leave the conference with valuable knowledge, new professional partnerships, and fresh inspiration for their career journey.

Da Nang – known as Vietnam’s “most livable city” – welcomes you with its harmonious blend of natural beauty, modern urban energy, and unique cultural identity. We cordially invite you to take the time to explore the local culture, enjoy our exquisite cuisine, and experience the warm hospitality of the local people for a truly complete and memorable experience.

On this occasion, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, all delegates, and especially the members of the Organizing Committee who have dedicated their passion and efforts to ensure the success of this conference. I wish you all highly productive and inspiring days ahead, gaining practical value from every session.

Once again, a very warm welcome to Da Nang in March 2026.

Sincerely,

A.PROF. NGUYEN THI THU PHUONG
PRESIDENT OF THE VIETNAM ASSOCIATION OF ORTHODONTISTS (VAO)
