Welcome to the Booy Foundation!
Our foundation is an independent, non-commercial, non-profit organization that has been organizing accredited clinical orthodontic education since its founding in 1988. The foundation is managed by orthodontists who work for the foundation on a voluntary basis. Traditionally, our conferences are held at attractive locations, and good food and drinks are provided. The atmosphere is always friendly and informal.
