The members of the organizing committee and myself are very proud to present the “15th International Conference of ODOAN” and welcome all participants to Kathmandu on 16th November 2024.
The scientific workshops on specialization and related themes will enable us to achieve our targeted mandate and vision. All the international and National Faculties including unique Key Note speakers, will show us recent developments in various fields in the world of Orthodontics. Besides the wonderful scientific program, delegates may also wish to explore many of the exciting tourist attractions within Kathmandu. Delegates can enjoy the beautiful historical temples and religious places like Pashupatinath Temple , Swayambhu Maha chaitya (Swayambhunath). Extending your stay in Nepal and visiting nearby tourist destinations like Pokhara and Chitwan can give another refreshment to the visit.
