Advanced Orthodontics and Dental Imaging Techniques
This special issue belongs to the section "Applied Dentistry and Oral Sciences".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of orthodontics has seen remarkable developments in recent decades, leading to gentler treatments, shorter treatment times, and more functional and esthetic results. Central trends include individualized treatment concepts, computer-assisted planning, advanced bracket systems, and minimally invasive approaches.
In this Special Issue, we emphasize current research and advances in digital technologies and imaging, including AI-driven diagnostics, radiation-free MRI visualization of anatomical structures, and personalized orthodontic treatment strategies such as skeletal anchorage, lingual orthodontics, and orthognathic surgery. We also seek orthodontic accelerators, concepts in current research and implications from a cellular and molecular perspective that facilitate and speed up clinical translation.
Research articles, review articles and short communications are invited and welcome.
Prof. Dr. Britta A. Jung
