After experiencing the pandemic in last two years; we hope to bring the healthy, happy and resourceful physical event ahead. We are encouraged to welcome the world leaders of orthodontics to this conference and bring their expertise during its scientific sessions. We are thankful to Asian-Pacific Orthodontic Society for consenting ODOAN to hold the APOS Face-to-Face meeting in Nepal.

We feel gratified to announce the theme of the conference as ‘Orthodontics at the heights of Himalayas’. The theme itself signifies that the conference is being held at the greatest place on earth; the ‘Mt. Everest’ with its Himalayan range and moreover, we orthodontists regard our esteemed profession to the greatest height.

I would like to thank the ODOAN Executive Committee to bestow me this great responsibility to lead the organizing committee and seek the utmost participation of the eminent speakers, sponsors and participants.
