Abstract
Dear members and subscribers of International Orthodontics,Following the establishment of the European College of Orthodontics (CEO) in 1967 by RogerO'Meyer and with Paul Brender, a "News Bulletin'', regular summary report of the College'sscientific meetings was published. It was replaced over 20 years ago by the Journal de l'Edgewiseunder the editorship of André Horn and Alain Decker successively. In 2003, driven by JosephGiordanetto, the journal became officially bilingual and was renamed International Orthodontics.From that day, it was indexed on ScienceDirect and then on Medline from 2008, thanks to thepublisher Elsevier-Masson and the great involvement of the editor in chief Jean-Pierre Ortial. In2018, it is with great honour that I took the responsibility of the redaction. In response to thesteady increase in the distribution of the journal and in the number of articles from all overthe world, the model of the journal is changing in 2019 for an "only English'' format and an onlinesubmission system for the authors. This inevitable change also supports the legitimate need toincrease our impact factor. We would like to thank the authors for their scientific contribution ofthe highest quality. With the editorial board, we will ensure, while encouraging research andinnovation, that the clinical and ethical dimensions of the publications are maintained, as they area pillar of the European College of Orthodontics.
