About us
Welcome to the Spark Winter Meeting – a unique gathering designed for orthodontic enthusiasts eager to combine cutting-edge knowledge with the thrill of winter sports. Now in its second consecutive year, this highly anticipated event is set to take place at the exquisite Kempinski Hotel in Bulgaria’s beloved winter resort, Bansko.
Our two-day program, scheduled for January 9-10, 2026, promises an unparalleled blend of comprehensive insights, innovative techniques, and practical tips in orthodontics, alongside ample time for relaxation and skiing. Participants will have the opportunity to delve deep into the latest advancements in aligner therapy, learn from leading experts, and network with peers in a vibrant, engaging atmosphere.
The educational sessions will be led by an impressive roster of speakers, headed by the distinguished Dr. Ivan Malagon. Dr. Malagon and his fellow lecturers are set to showcase fascinating and effective techniques for working with Spark Aligners, providing attendees with invaluable skills and perspectives to elevate their practice.
The Spark Winter Meeting is proudly organized with the support of several key partners:
Sofia Dental Meeting: For 18 years, the Sofia Dental Meeting congress has been a cornerstone event, bringing together dentists and students eager for new knowledge. It consistently offers unparalleled opportunities to learn from world-renowned lecturers in the dental field, fostering continuous professional development and networking.
BOAS (Bulgarian Orthodontic Aligner Society): This rapidly growing society is a testament to the increasing interest and adoption of aligner therapy. We have a history of highly successful collaborative events with BAAO, working together to advance orthodontic education and promote best practices within the community. BAAO is dedicated to supporting orthodontists in integrating aligner technologies into their daily practice, providing a platform for knowledge exchange and professional growth.
Spark Aligners: Last but certainly not least, this event is made possible by the incredible support of Spark Aligners – a new generation of clear aligners. Spark Aligners are engineered with advanced materials and innovative design, offering exceptional clarity, comfort, and precision for predictable treatment outcomes. They represent the forefront of orthodontic technology, empowering practitioners to deliver superior results for their patients.
