Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Orthodontic treatment is where bioengineering meets artistry—a field in which precision and creativity combine to create harmonious teeth alignment and craniofacial structure. At its core, this discipline focuses on the relationship between tooth movement and craniofacial development, harnessing the body's natural processes to achieve both functional and aesthetic outcomes. Orthodontics rests on three pillars: biology, biomechanics, and biochemistry. These elements work together to transform applied forces into cellular responses, bone remodeling, and tissue adaptation. Success in the field requires a deep understanding of how tissues respond to forces, particularly in the remodeling of periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone. Through the careful application of biomechanical principles, orthodontists guide precise tooth movement, while biochemical processes direct cell activity and molecular signals that regulate the formation and breakdown of bone. This comprehensive knowledge enables orthodontists to design treatments that not only correct misaligned teeth but also ensure lasting stability and health—making orthodontics a true fusion of science and art.
This Special Issue, entitled “Application of Bioengineering to Clinical Orthodontics—2nd Edition”, aims to provide researchers, clinicians, and thought leaders with a platform to share their insights, discoveries, and breakthroughs in this field. We welcome submissions that delve into the biological mechanisms of tooth movement, the biomechanical principles guiding orthodontic force systems, the biochemical pathways driving craniofacial regeneration, and computer-aided diagnosis and treatment plans in craniofacial fields. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, novel biomaterials for orthodontic applications, tissue engineering approaches for bone remodeling, molecular insights into orthodontic tooth movement, AI-powered diagnosis in orthodontics, and the integration of digital technologies in treatment planning and execution. By fostering a collaborative platform for interdisciplinary research, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of orthodontics as a transformative science and art, ultimately improving patient outcomes and shaping the future of craniofacial health. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that contribute to this exciting and evolving field. Join us in pushing the boundaries of orthodontic science and bioengineering.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
