Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to investigate the most recent advances in orthodontic treatment. New technologies and methods recently developed have provided patients with more aesthetic and comfortable options, better analysis, and treatment planning. This improvement, mainly driven by 3D technologies and artificial intelligence in an attempt to make quicker treatments, is also intended to simplify the orthodontist's work without reducing, or even increasing, the efficiency of therapies and their long-term success. All these aspects affect both adult orthodontics and the treatment of growing subjects. Orthodontic retreatments and orthodontic therapies on fragile/vulnerable subjects (pediatric or adult) or requiring an integrated multi-specialist approach (medical/dental) often represent a clinical challenge in which new technologies and new advances can make a difference. Studies that include ethical and medico-legal implications and considerations on the use of new technologies and new advances in the orthodontic field constitute preferential contributions. Scientific contributions in the form of research articles and reviews are welcome. Case reports/series on these topics will be evaluated.
