Contemporary Trends and Future Perspectives in Orthodontic Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

The field of orthodontics is experiencing a dynamic evolution, with emerging technologies and evidence-based strategies reshaping both clinical practice and research. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of orthodontic treatment and to explore the innovations that are defining its future.

We welcome original research articles, clinical studies, and reviews that address recent advances in orthodontic biomechanics, clear aligner therapy, and digital workflows. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the predictive modeling of tooth movement, treatment planning with artificial intelligence, integration of 3D imaging and finite element analysis, and the development of novel materials and appliances. Contributions focusing on long-term stability, patient-centered outcomes, and interdisciplinary treatment approaches are also encouraged.

By bringing together diverse perspectives and methodologies, this Special Issue seeks to foster dialogue within the orthodontic community and to promote high-quality, forward-thinking research that can guide future clinical decision-making.

We look forward to your valuable contributions.
