Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, orthodontics has made remarkable advances thanks to digital technology and new materials. Today, clear aligners, lingual orthodontics and self-ligating brackets have improved the aesthetics and efficiency of treatment. Tools such as artificial intelligence, intraoral scanners, 3D cameras, CBCT or 3D printing allow for more accurate diagnoses and personalised treatment plans. In addition, accelerated orthodontics and bioengineering aim to reduce treatment times and improve the patient experience.
As the future of orthodontics points toward less invasive approaches, nanotechnology, and treatments based on big data, it is imperative that we continue to research and disseminate knowledge in this field. Therefore, in this Special Issue, we invite you to share your research in our journal and contribute to the growth of the scientific community and the development of new solutions for dental health. Your participation is key to continued innovation.
