Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Journal of Functional Biomaterials concerning new approaches in the field.
In recent years, there have been significant advances in technology and materials in orthodontic treatment.
In terms of technology, the application of 3DCT to diagnosis, the improved accuracy of intraoral scanners, the development of 3D printers, 3D computer simulations, and telemedicine using virtual reality are all significant advances in digital technology that will change the concept of orthodontic treatment in the future.
In the field of materials, free-friction brackets, new flexible wires, digitally set-up brackets and wires, and aligner materials are evolving in tandem with advances in digital technology.
In this Special Issue entitled “Orthodontic Biomaterials: From the Past to the Present”, we will explore the most recent orthodontic materials and the most advanced technologies in orthodontic and surgical orthodontic treatment.
In this regard, we welcome the submission of basic and clinical studies proposing new materials and technologies in this specific field, as well as literature reviews. In addition, case reports and case series involving the above topics will also be considered.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
