The Orthodontic Society of Ireland is the largest and longest-established specialist dental organization in Ireland, and one that promotes best practice in Orthodontics in Ireland. The Orthodontic Society of Ireland was founded in 1990, with the aim to promote quality Orthodontics in Ireland through education and research. As part of that mission, the Orthodontic Society of Ireland campaigned for the establishment of an Irish Specialist Register in Orthodontics, which was established by the Dental Council in 2000 and is now available online at http://www.dentalcouncil.ie/. The criteria for inclusion on this list of Specialist Orthodontists is that one, after qualifying as a general dentist, must have followed a course of Specialist Training in Orthodontics. Most of these courses are 3 years in length, are full-time and attached to a University. One must have gained a wide spectrum of experience in the dental field before being accepted on a Specialist Orthodontic Training Programme  - meaning that, in effect, each Specialist Orthodontist has had a minimum of eight years of University education and has had  3 years of Specialist Orthodontic Training beyond a basic dental degree.

Today each member of the Orthodontic Society of Ireland is both a qualified dentist and a registered Specialist in Orthodontics. The Orthodontic Society of Ireland provides its members with a strong professional network and continuing dental education, with at least 2 Scientific meetings every year in Ireland.

Members of the Orthodontic Society of Ireland also keep abreast of international developments by making the most of ongoing training opportunities and scientific conferences held around the world. Many members are also members of the American Association of Orthodontists, the European Orthodontic Society and the British Orthodontic Society. The support of other Specialist Orthodontists—both at home and around the world—helps members of the Orthodontic Society of Ireland determine the highest quality course of treatment for your teeth and those of your children, which ensures you get best value Orthodontic treatment..

The  Orthodontic Society of Ireland also maintains relationships with International Specialist Orthodontic organisations. The Orthodontic Society of Ireland is affiliated to the World Federation of Orthodontists, is a founding member of the European Federation of Orthodontic Specialist Associations and is member of the Foederatio Europea Orthodontica. These associations are limited to Orthodontic Specialists and continually strive to promote and maintain the quality & value of internationally recognised orthodontic specialist training programmes.
