President, World Implant Orthodontic Association

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great honor to welcome you to The 39th Annual Meeting of the TAO & The 17th World Implant Orthodontic Conference (TAO WIOC 2026), held from December 7 to 9, 2026 at TaiNEX 2 in Taipei, Taiwan.

The main theme of this year’s conference is “Orthotopia.”
The word “Orthotopia” comes from orthodontics and utopia. While utopia may be an unreachable perfection,ortho- means “to make things right.” In a world often masked by chaos, uncertainty and deception, we hope that at least in our profession, we can stand together—through honesty, collaboration, the pursuit of truth and evidence— we can create our own shelter.

This is our vision: A place not flawless, but sincere;not perfect, but powerful.An orthodontic utopia—our Orthotopia.

Welcome to Orthotopia

Warm regards,

Dr. Kelvin Wen-Chung Chang
Chairman, 2026 TAO WIOC
