Professional exchange and a sweet surprise
Leipzig/Pforzheim, September 2025 – From 11 to 13 September, orthodontic specialists gathered in Leipzig for the 97th Annual Meeting of the German Society of Orthodontics (DGKFO). Forestadent was once again present as an exhibitor – and, in addition to innovative product solutions, provided a real eye-catcher: a 4.5-kilogram Toblerone, which was presented to three lucky winners as part of a raffle.
Innovation meets tradition – our trade fair appearance with Black Forest flair
This year, our trade fair stand was once again all about quality, comfort and personal proximity: with cosy Black Forest flair and a dedicated team, we presented our latest product highlights, including:
- BioQuick® 5 – our latest generation of self-ligating brackets
- FAS® Aligner System – innovative, precise and aesthetic
- OrthoEasy® mini screws – the proven system for maximum flexibility
- Lux Creo 4D – a state-of-the-art aligner printing system for maximum efficiency in the digital workflow.
With newly available length and diameter options, it can now be used in an even wider range of applications.
The great interest shown by trade visitors and the intensive discussions at our stand once again demonstrated that the combination of sound technology, well-thought-out solutions and partnership-based exchange is the right way forward for future-oriented orthodontics.
A sweet surprise with cult status
In addition to professional exchanges, there was also plenty of fun to be had: our popular photo booth campaign provided numerous creative snapshots and relaxed conversations.
A special highlight was the raffle of three XXL Toblerone bars – each 80 cm long and weighing a whopping 4.5 kilograms.
Congratulations to our winners:
- Dr Phillip Gebhardt (Berlin)
- Dr Gert and Dora Brauchle (Heidenheim)
- Olaf Tegtmeier, self-confessed ‘chocolate lover’ from Pfadfinder Kommunikation (Hamburg)
All the winners were visibly thrilled and proudly posed with their giant chocolate bars – and their teams can also look forward to the sweet treat.
Thank you for the exchange – we look forward to seeing you again!
The DGKFO Annual Conference was once again a place of dialogue, inspiration and personal encounters for us. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all visitors for their interest, the exciting discussions and the trust they placed in us.
The positive response motivates us to continue working hard to advance orthodontics with innovative products and partnership-based support – always with a view to providing modern, patient-oriented care.
Leipzig also showed itself from its best side in culinary terms: regional specialities such as the traditional Leipziger Lerche or the fine Bachtaler ensured that the conference experience at Forestadent will be remembered not only for its professional content, but also for its culinary delights.
We are already looking forward to the 98th DGKFO Annual Conference in 2026 in Baden-Baden – and who knows: maybe there will be another sweet surprise waiting at the Forestadent stand.
