Message From President

A Hearty welcome!!!

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I am pleased and thrilled to serve as President of the Indian Orthodontic Society at the 59^th Indian Orthodontic Conference, which is being hosted in the vibrant and picturesque city of Visakhapatnam (Vizag) from 28^th-30^th November 2025.

In keeping with the IOS message for the year, GLOBAL – SUSTAINABLE – DIGITAL ORTHODONTICS, the 59th Indian Orthodontic Conference will conclude the calendar year with the theme "Learn, Enrich, and Excel", which perfectly captures our shared goal as orthodontic professionals: to continuously push the boundaries of knowledge, hone our skills, and improve the quality of care we provide to our patients. The conference promises to be an enriching experience, offering a platform for the exchange of ground-breaking research, innovative treatment techniques, and cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future of orthodontics.

Our varied schedule will feature IOS orations, keynote addresses, pre-conference workshops, and hands-on demos by our esteemed speakers from both IOS and overseas, all of which are intended to give audiences useful and applicable takeaways. In addition, delegates in both competitive and non-competitive categories will have access to scientific papers, posters, and table clinics. One of the highlights of this conference is the chance to network, work together, and have deep conversations with other orthodontists from around the nation and abroad. I genuinely think that these exchanges play a big part in keeping our organization united.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the Organizing Committee Dr. Srikrishna Chalasani (Org. Chairperson), Dr. Sleeva Raju N (Org. Secretary), Dr. C. V Padma Priya (Scientific Convenor), Dr. N Satish Verma (Treasurer) and Dr. Baratam Srinivas (Trade Convenor) and entire team of Andhra Pradesh Orthodontic Study as well as to all our sponsors, exhibitors, and everyone, who are working tirelessly to make this event a huge success. Your dedication and hard work are instrumental in ensuring that the 59^th IOC, Vizag is a memorable and impactful experience for all.

As we gather in this beautiful city, known for its warmth and hospitality, let us seize the opportunity to learn from each other, enrich our professional lives, and excel in our commitment to providing the best orthodontic care to our patients.

Wishing you all a successful, productive, and inspiring conference ahead!

Together, let us continue to shape the future of orthodontics!

Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai IOS!

Warm regards,
Dr. Puneet Batra
President
Indian Orthodontic Society
