<abstract>
<p>Orthodontics has witnessed significant advancements with the integration of innovative materials, digital technologies, and biomechanical techniques aimed at improving precision, efficiency, and patient experience. Modern approaches leverage shape-memory alloys, such as nickel-titanium wires, for their superelastic properties and consistent force application, reducing treatment duration and patient discomfort. Biodegradable polymers and bioactive materials have emerged as sustainable alternatives that provides enhanced biocompatibility and promoting tissue regeneration. These materials also address concerns about environmental impact and adverse biological responses, making orthodontic treatments safer and more eco-friendly. The advent of digital technologies, including computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems, 3D imaging, and artificial intelligence, has transformed treatment planning and execution. Virtual simulations allow clinicians to anticipate challenges and refine strategies, while 3D printing facilitates the production of highly customized orthodontic appliances. Robotics further enhances precision, automating processes like archwire bending and reducing manual errors. Additionally, wearable sensors provide real-time feedback on force application and patient compliance, enabling personalized treatment adjustments. Nanotechnology has contributed antibacterial properties to orthodontic materials, improving patient outcomes by minimizing risks of infection and inflammation. Innovations like fluoride-releasing adhesives and pH-sensitive polymers offer dual functionality, supporting both orthodontic mechanics and oral health. By integrating these advancements, modern orthodontics addresses challenges related to treatment predictability, patient comfort, and environmental sustainability. This comprehensive approach aligns with global priorities for healthcare innovation and environmental stewardship, setting new standards in orthodontic care.
