The inaugural event was followed in 2017 with a shortened 1-day Spring Meeting – EAS AlignerLab, which was held in the same venue as the 1st Congress, Vienna. The meeting focussed on 10 subjects related to aligner therapy, ranging from 3D scanning, 3D printing, virtual assessment and treatment planning and accelerated tooth movement techniques. All delegates attended the 10 lecture / workshops for 45-minutes on a rolling basis throughout the day. The AlignerLab concept was an innovative approach to providing clinicians with a variety of views and plenty of “pearls” on aligner subjects. The 153 delegates enjoyed this novel approach to a one-day meeting.
