Recent Advances in Orthodontics an Overview

Abstract

In the last decade, recent advancements have been made in the field of orthodontics. With the development of newer advances such as artificial intelligence, the use of robotics, auto-transplantation, newer materials, newer drugs, and genetics in clinical practice, the clinical care of patients has improved significantly. Such remarkable advancements have been achieved in the diagnostic tools, technological, material, imaging, as well as treatment aspects of dentistry and have become the new paradigm of orthodontics. Moreover, three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) have become an invaluable asset for diagnosis and treatment planning. In this article we discuss different advancements in the field of orthodontics.
