Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics has witnessed substantial growth, with significant technological innovations and scientific discoveries transforming clinical practice. Digital technologies, advanced biomaterials, and interdisciplinary approaches have revolutionized diagnosis, treatment planning, and therapeutic outcomes in managing various dentofacial anomalies. Staying at the forefront of these developments is crucial for both researchers and clinicians to optimize patient care and contribute to the advancement of this field.
We would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on "Advances in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics”, which aims to compile cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that highlight recent innovations and future directions in orthodontic diagnosis, treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Digital technologies in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning;
- Clear aligner systems and their biomechanical considerations;
- Temporary anchorage devices and skeletal anchorage systems;
- 3D imaging and analysis in orthodontics;
- Artificial intelligence applications in orthodontic practice;
- Growth modification techniques and dentofacial orthopedics;
- Accelerated tooth movement methodologies;
- The management of complex dentofacial deformities;
- Interdisciplinary approaches in orthodontic treatment;
- Biomarkers and personalized orthodontic treatments.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
