Danny Chan enhanced

Welcome to the future of orthodontics, where AI, big data, and cutting-edge technologies are redefining patient care. As we gather at the AOSC 2025 Congress under the theme “Forging Ahead with the “Evolving Faces of Orthodontics: Embracing Fundamentals, Change and Innovation,” it’s clear that the profession is at a pivotal moment. Innovations like AI-powered treatment planning, eco-friendly clear aligners, 3D printing, and tele-dentistry are transforming orthodontics into a faster, more personalised, and accessible field.

Yet, amidst these advancements, the core mission remains unchanged: creating harmonious smiles that balance aesthetics, function, and long-term stability. Leaders like Dr. Chung H. Kau, Dr. Ute Schneider-Moser, and Dr. Ki Beom Kim remind us that embracing innovation requires integrating new tools with timeless clinical principles. Their insights, featured in this issue’s article “Global Visions and Asian Perspectives On Modern Orthodontics,” highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, sustainability, and adapting Western techniques to meet Asian anatomical and cultural needs.

As practitioners, how will you navigate this era of rapid change? Will you adopt AI-driven diagnostics or focus on fostering stronger patient relationships? The answers lie in balancing technology with humanity.

Turn to the article to explore how global pioneers are shaping orthodontics. May we embrace the dynamism of our profession and chart a course toward a more vibrant and inclusive tomorrow.
