Greeting Pledge to all the members of JLOA and Lingual Orthodontists - as new president - Isao Matsuno I am Isao Matsuno whom I took office as a president of the association. The association is now a large family more than 280 members, and I am sure it will grow more and more accompanied by social need. First of all, we changed the rules to administer the association. We increased the number of the directors. We put Dr.Fukawa up to a vice president and made the organized system placing 24 directors including 12 managing directors. In order to change the association to keep pace with the times while maintaining the history that our senior doctors have made up, I will do our best for the association for the members as well as our patients by inspiring many orthodontists to achieve the high quality standards of excellence in lingual orthodontic education and practice. I thank you and hope for your support in the future. Japan Lingual Orthodontic Association President Isao Matsuno,
