Current Trends in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
This special issue belongs to the section “Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics play a vital role in enhancing both the functional and aesthetic aspects of oral health. The field has evolved significantly—from the use of traditional mechanical appliances to the adoption of highly personalized, technology-driven treatment solutions.
This Special Issue aims to showcase contemporary approaches, advanced technologies, and interdisciplinary collaborations shaping modern orthodontic and orthopedic care. Key areas of focus include clear aligner systems, 3D imaging, AI-assisted diagnostics, and innovations in craniofacial growth modulation.
We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and other scholarly contributions that advance the understanding and development of current practices in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
