The two-day event will take place at the Madinat Jumeirah Resort in Dubai from September 9 – 10 2022, bringing together an array of international speakers who will deliver lectures on key topics from within the orthodontic community. Invisalign trained orthodontists from across the Middle East and the wider EMEA region are expected to attend.

The theme of the Invisalign Scientific Symposium 2022, “Patient-Centric Clinical Excellence” will provide doctors with clinical evidence on three core topics, which include ‘the impact of technology on treatment experience’, ‘clinical outcomes in growing patients’, and ‘oral health during and post orthodontic treatment’. One of the main speakers at the event will be Dr Suliman Shahin, from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, representing the Middle East region and joining other leading speakers from across the EMEA region.

Angelo Maura, General Manager Middle East & Africa at Align Technology, said: “We are extremely proud to be hosting the Invisalign Scientific Symposium in Dubai. This is a testament to Align’s commitment in bringing the best-in-class technology to our doctors in the Middle East, as well as the wider EMEA region. We believe that events such as these will help to shine a light on the many benefits digital dentistry presents. Our aim is to inspire doctors to share knowledge and experiences to help future-proof and digitise their practices.”

Pierre Velu, Align Technology VP sales ortho channel, core Europe, commented: “After two editions held online, it will be a great pleasure to meet many of our customers in person again for the 2022 edition of the Invisalign Scientific Symposium. It will be a brilliant occasion to discuss and reflect on what the Invisalign clear aligner system has brought to orthodontics since its creation, as we celebrate Align’s 25^th anniversary this year. Since the beginning, we have continuously worked to provide the best technology to our clients to ensure the best possible outcomes for their patients.”

To enhance the learning experience and foster insightful discussions, the event will also feature networking sessions, as well as Invisalign clear aligner and iTero scanner live demos for attendees.
