Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to present this Special Issue, titled “Innovations and Trends in Modern Orthodontics”. This Special Issue aims to bridge traditional orthodontic practices with cutting-edge technologies that are reshaping treatment strategies and elevating the standard of patient care.
Orthodontics is currently undergoing a technological, clinical, and conceptual transformation. Among the most significant developments is the growing use of clear aligners that integrate AI-driven planning, 3D printing, and advanced biomechanics for efficient and precise treatment. Artificial intelligence itself is emerging as one of the most transformative forces in modern orthodontics. Its thoughtful implementation holds great promise—from aiding diagnosis and supporting clinical decision-making to enabling predictive modeling and real-time patient monitoring through smart digital platforms. Similarly, telemedicine and remote monitoring tools are improving patient compliance, engagement, and continuity of care. As these innovations become more widespread, it is essential to evaluate their reliability and appropriate clinical boundaries, ensuring they empower—rather than replace—the expertise of the orthodontist.
This Special Issue will also examine the growing interdisciplinary connections between orthodontics and general health—focusing on areas such as airway development, respiratory function, and sleep quality. In addition, it will address the implementation of new treatment philosophies in multidisciplinary dental practice. The growing role of increasing use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) will be explored as a minimally invasive yet highly effective biomechanical tool. This Special Issue will also focus on accelerated orthodontics, aimed at shortening treatment duration without compromising quality or stability.
Our goal is to offer an up-to-date snapshot of the orthodontic landscape, critically assess both opportunities and challenges, and foster dialogue on the innovations shaping the future of our profession .
We warmly invite clinicians, researchers, and dental professionals to contribute to this Special Issue. We welcome literature reviews, original research, case reports, and perspectives that highlight clinical advances, novel techniques, or technological integration. Collectively, these contributions will reflect the rapidly evolving nature of orthodontics and enrich professional dialogue across disciplines.
Join us in contributing to this exciting and rapidly evolving field. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Shmuel Einy
