Abstract The growing global geriatric population has led to a rising demand for orthodontic care among older adults seeking functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial improvements. Orthodontic treatment in geriatric patients is feasible when guided by careful biological, systemic, and biomechanical considerations. Age-related changes in bone density, periodontal health, and systemic conditions such as osteoporosis and diabetes necessitate modified force application, thorough medical evaluation, and interdisciplinary coordination. Advances in digital technology, clear aligner systems, and temporary anchorage devices have expanded treatment possibilities, enabling precise, minimally invasive, and comfortable care. Psychosocial factors, including the desire for enhanced appearance and confidence, further drive treatment acceptance. Adjunctive procedures like corticotomies and low-level laser therapy can aid in accelerating movement and improving outcomes. Overall, geriatric orthodontics embodies a holistic, patient-centered approach that integrates biological insight, technology, and collaboration to achieve lasting oral health and aesthetic benefits.
