The British Orthodontic Society (BOS) is a membership organisation with over 1800 members in the United Kingdom. It is the largest of the dental specialist groups and dates back nearly a century to the formation of the British Society for the Study of Orthodontics. Other orthodontic groups were founded in the over the years and in 1994 they all came together to create the British Orthodontic Society.
The BOS describes itself as being dedicated to promoting the study and practice of orthodontics, maintaining and improving professional standards and encouraging education and research in the specialism.
Members of the society are entitled to discounts for BOS events, such as the annual British Orthodontic Conference, which is one of the best-attended events in the dental calendar. Members also receive a free subscription to BOS news and to the Journal of Orthodontics.
[edit] Offices
The current BOS headquarters opened in 2006 and occupies two floors of an impressive Victorian building at 12 Bridewell Place within the City of London’s ancient walls and St Paul’s Cathedral is nearby. The exterior of the building was restored to its original Victorian elegance.
