Dr. Cristina Teixeira discusses “Orthodontics: the power of choice” at Dental Pro

"Orthodontics: the power of choice" is the theme of the 2023 SPO Congress

For Maria Cristina Faria Teixeira, the XXIX Congress of the Portuguese Orthodontic Society (SPO) is “a congress that promotes scientific updating and clinical training. For this very reason, we adapted the congress theme – Orthodontics: the power of choice”.

In this event, according to the chair of the organizing committee, the orthodontist has the ‘power of choice’ of the technique(s) to be defined in their patient’s treatment plan. This decision-making must be ethical and meet the needs of the patient.”

The SPO Congress also aims to “create a debate on contemporary challenges and the transition of the different techniques already underway, contributing to the clarification and progress of orthodontics in Portugal”.

For her, “it’s a congress of great importance and tradition organized by the SPO, already considered the biggest scientific update event. The panel of speakers includes leading national and international orthodontists in their areas of research, specialization and teaching.”

The XXIX SPO Congress will take place between October 26 and 28 at the Tagus Park Congress Center in Lisbon.
