Every year, the World Federation of Orthodontists convenes a meeting of the presidents of the national orthodontic associations around the world. There are about 120 of these connected to the WFO.
The current president of the Orthodontic Society of Ireland (OSI) is Paul Murphy, who operates South Beach Clinic in Greystones, Co Wicklow. As Paul wasn’t able to attend the 2024 ...
It’s about 6 weeks since I took the decision to postpone seeing patients for routine orthodontic treatment at Swords Orthodontics. I did this because I felt it was the safest thing to do for my patients and my team, given that Ireland was heading into its coronavirus challenge.
We didn’t really close but it’s certainly not normal service at the practice. ...

At the start of the week it was announced that the Orthodontic Society of Ireland was successful in its bid to host the 2025 European Orthodontic Congress (EOC) in Dublin.

There have been a few changes in what we now believe about how teeth move best, but he’d still recognise the appliances that he developed, even in their modern form - most of the materials and equipment we use would have changed considerably though.

That said, since then, Invisalign has evolved a fair bit. For a start, the actual system is a lot more predictable and ...
Professor Lysle Johnston is the special guest speaker at the 2017 Spring Meeting of the Orthodontic Society of Ireland. He is joined by Dr Jose Chaques Asensi discussing the effective use of the Forsus Appliance and Dr Liz Moynihan discussing the aetiology, diagnosis and management of dyspraxia and how it affects dentistry.
