Since the beginning of the 2000s, adults over 50 and seniors have less and less reluctance to pursue orthodontic practices, an area typically reserved for the adolescent patient base. However, senior orthodontics is a very different experience than adolescent orthodontics, technically, biologically, and aesthetically. Indeed, seniors come with requirements, a history and physiological constraints that differ from those of adolescents. This work aims to describe in detail oral aging and to highlight the characteristics of orthodontic treatment for people over 50 years of age.
