Dear Colleagues and Distinguished Guests,

On behalf of the Saudi Orthodontic Society, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 19th Annual Conference of the Saudi Orthodontic Society, held in conjunction with the First Gulf Orthodontic Forum, taking place on December 11–12, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This year’s conference is themed “Smart Smiles: Integrating AI and Digital Innovation in Orthodontics,” a reflection of the transformative shift we are witnessing in our specialty. As technology continues to reshape the future of orthodontics, we stand at the forefront of a new era—one driven by artificial intelligence, digital workflows, and data-driven precision. This meeting brings together leading minds, innovative technologies, and collaborative spirit to explore how we can harness these advancements to enhance clinical excellence and patient care.

We are particularly proud to launch the First Gulf Orthodontic Forum, a milestone initiative that strengthens professional ties across the GCC and paves the way for unified regional development in orthodontic education, research, and practice.

I invite you to engage in thought-provoking discussions, workshops, and meaningful networking opportunities. Let us shape the future of our profession—together.

Warm regards,
