Today, we at the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Puthisastra join the global orthodontic community in celebrating World Orthodontic Health Day (WOHD) 2026, an initiative led by the World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) to raise awareness about the importance of orthodontic health and the life-changing impact of quality orthodontic care.
This yearโs theme โ โBeyond Straight Teethโ โ highlights that orthodontics is not only about improving smiles, but also about enhancing oral health, function, facial harmony, confidence, airway health, and overall quality of life.
Orthodontic treatment can contribute to: โ๏ธ Improved oral hygiene and periodontal health
โ๏ธ Better chewing efficiency and speech
โ๏ธ Enhanced facial balance and aesthetics
โ๏ธ Prevention of long-term dental complications
โ๏ธ Improved psychosocial wellbeing and self-confidence
As orthodontists and oral health professionals, we remain committed to advancing evidence-based care, innovation, education, and equitable access to orthodontic treatment worldwide.
Together, let us continue promoting awareness that orthodontics goes far ๐๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐ต.
