Abstract

Orthodontists were the pioneers in adopting a digitised workflow and coping with the rapidly growing digital era worldwide. Digital transformation in the orthodontic field fundamentally alters the way in which orthodontic treatment is perceived, delivered, and helps in creating individualised orthodontic appliances. Fully equipped orthodontic office with intraoral scanners and 3D printers enhances diagnostic procedures and treatment planning abilities through implementing digital photos digital models, digital cephalometric analysis, and virtual setups, ending up with dental monitoring software analyzing tooth movement using artificial intelligence, manufacturing of custom-made brackets, robotically bent wires, 3D printed appliances like 3D printed facemask, which makes the device more comfortable to the child's face with sensors allows orthodontist to measure compliance, clear aligners, indirect bonding trays, and retainers. In a short while, orthodontic specialists will only be required to be clinically involved in management of complicated malocclusions and more work will be performed in front of computers, tablets, and mobile devices.
