Contemporary digital software applications in orthodontics: A review

Abstract

Orthodontic technology has advanced significantly, allowing an orthodontist to precisely design the course of therapy. The software enables the analysis of dental mobility and the provision of digital treatment choices. Cephalometric analysis, digital imaging, intraoral and extraoral image capture, morphing capability to show patients what their teeth could look like after treatment, case presentation capability, treatment planning capability, and oral maxillofacial surgery applications are typical features of orthodontic practice software and orthodontic digital treatment planning systems. You can give patients graphics through these technologies that will assist them in understanding the benefits of proceeding with orthodontic or surgical-orthodontic therapy. Since patients can now comprehend and see the treatment plan, communication between clinicians and patients has also become easier due to digitization. Thanks to digital orthodontics, getting a healthier and straighter smile is much easier. Because of this, the majority of this assessment is based on software that is currently accessible for orthodontic applications.
