Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this era of great technological advancements in modern orthodontics, the introduction of new materials and associated techniques has the potential to advance the current limits of orthodontic treatments. However, the introduction of such materials and techniques is seldom accompanied by real experimentation. Due to the laws of the market, new products are often introduced without large-scale experimentation on their effects over time. From this point of view, there is a need to fill the research gap produced by corporate pressure by performing rigorous testing of the effects of these modern technologies over time in both adult and adolescent patients. This Special Issue aims to critically appraise the innovative technologies used in daily orthodontic practice to define their benefits and limitations.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, short communications, and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: digital orthodontics, miniscrew-supported treatment, the application of cone beam computed tomography in orthodontics, and clinical treatments in adult orthodontic patients.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Gabriele Di Carlo
Guest Editor
