General Meetings

By Dr. Irene Palma A cold and gloomy day greeted everyone on the morning of the first day of October as many, for sure, found it easier to snuggle up and savor the cozy temperature of the holiday morning. Such, however, was not the case for the 38 members of the Association of Philippine Orthodontists who, despite rain showers, cold wind and the thick fog, trooped to the Tagaytay Highlands Resort to attend the new Fiscal Year’s 1st General Meeting.

November 20, 2006 The second General Meeting was held at the Bahia, Hotel Intercontinental Manila on November 20, 2006. Guest speaker Anoop Sondhi gave a lecture on "Contemporary Edgewise Treatment with Pre-Adjusted Appliances: Current Concepts and Techniques."

During the 108th Annual PDA convention held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, the Association of Philippine Orthodontists (APO) invited everyone to a pre-Congress seminar entitled 'Strip and Screw: The Essentials of Interproximal Reduction and TADS'. This was given by the esteemed Dr. Changok Oh, one of the best Orthodontic minds in Korea who holds numerous accolades and positions in his home country.

By Dr. Stevie Keh Just like our biennial congress last August, it was again a rainy Wednesday morning when APO held its 11th General Meeting at The Rockwell Club in Makati City last Oct. 3. Fortunately this time, no 'habagat' nor massive floods hindered the members from trooping to our usual venue to listen to this seminar's very interesting topics with the theme “Different Treatment Options for TMD Patients”.
