Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to enumerate the trends and prospects of orthodontic treatment that will determine the future of orthodontics. With the advent of technology and materials and with a better understanding of growth and development in the orthodontic field, orthodontic treatment will be more effective, efficient, and patient-friendly. The key trends and prospects are digital orthodontics, temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), 3D technology, clear aligners, invisible braces, accelerated orthodontics, artificial intelligence, interdisciplinary approaches, preventive orthodontics, eco-friendly practices, teledentistry, personalized orthodontic care, and educational content for patients and orthodontic professionals. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we invite several authors to contribute articles exploring the current trends and long-term prospects of orthodontic treatment.
Prof. Dr. Jong-Moon Chae
