The DGAO Congress for Aligner Orthodontics

Every two years, the DGAO organizes a scientific aligner congress that presents the different systems, the latest scientific findings and practical experience from internationally renowned speakers. The accompanying industrial exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the current products for all aspects of aligner therapy.

The 9th Scientific Congress for Aligner Orthodontics

will take place in Cologne on November 13th + 14th, 2026.

Dear colleagues,

it is a great pleasure to once again warmly welcome you to the International Congress of the German Society for Aligner Orthodontics in Cologne in 2026. Two years have passed — two years of intensive developments, new scientific insights, and exciting innovations that have profoundly influenced our daily work in both practice and research.

As the President of the DGAO, I am delighted to see how our professional society continues to evolve further as an internationally recognized forum for high-quality, evidence-based aligner orthodontics. The DGAO Congress is far more than a meeting of experts: it is a place of vibrant exchange, critical discussion, and collegial inspiration. Beyond the scientific program, this congress also offers an opportunity to strengthen our community through conversation, shared learning, and the joy of meeting in person once again.

Our speakers this year will present the latest clinical findings, current research results, and forward-looking technologies. All of them contribute to advancing aligner orthodontics and to continuously improving the quality of our treatments for the benefit of our patients.

I wish us all inspiring days in Cologne, valuable new insights, and stimulating encounters.

With warm regards

Ralf J. Radlanski

President of the DGAO
