President’s Message

World Federation of Orthodontists

It is a great pleasure for me to be given the opportunity to congratulate the Sri-Lankan Orthodontic Society on the publication of their first journal.

Such new ventures should be applauded for the work and dedication required.

A national journal gives society members the opportunity to read peer reviewed articles from both International and local national colleagues.

We owe it to our patients to treat from evidenced based modalities and what better way to keep up to date than through one’s own society journal.

Journals are “living documents” allowing a regular interchange of ideas and opinion through articles and letters. But journals are only as good as the material submitted.

I am sure that members of the Sri-Lankan Orthodontic Society will embrace their journal and make it the success it deserves.

All good wishes and congratulations.
