Orthodontic treatment no longer just straightensthe teeth traditionally,wemay improve the aging face by providing aesthetic orientated orthodontictreatment.

Passive self-ligating (PSL) brackets and aligners become the new trend in current practice. PSL andaligners allow amore comfortable, tolerable and aesthetic treatment experience for elderly patientsthus increase their acceptance towards orthodontic treatment. Apart from that, non-extractionorthodontics gives patient a broader and wider smile other than straighter teeth whilst maintainingorenhancingpatient’sprofile.
