Orthodontic treatment is feasible in the elderly, even with limited growth potential. This approach can enhance dental function and aesthetics, improving patients' quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric dentistry
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Orthodontic treatment typically leverages adolescent growth, but tooth movement remains feasible in older adults.
  • In the elderly, orthodontic treatment focuses on patient-specific functional needs and aesthetic concerns.

Observation:

  • This case report details orthodontic treatment in an elderly patient.
  • The treatment aimed to address the patient's specific concerns and functional requirements.

Findings:

  • Orthodontic treatment in the elderly is achievable despite modest growth potential.
  • Successful tooth movement was accomplished, addressing the patient's goals.

Implications:

  • Elderly orthodontic treatment can significantly improve dentition function and aesthetics.
