Abstract : This review highlights the progress in orthodontics. Advances in the field have enhanced diagnostic efficiency and streamlined treatment planning. Modern technologies such as computer applications, electronic dental models, artificial intelligence, and cephalometric applications give orthodontists a significant advantage over traditional diagnostic methods. The stereolithography technique offers valuable diagnostic insights, predicts surgical outcomes, and assists in creating surgical guides. CAD/CAM technology enables the milling of virtual arch forms and lingual retainers, reducing chair time. Laser innovations improve the efficiency of etching, bonding, and even accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. Additionally, developments in brackets and archwires have made significant strides. Ultimately, it is up to the clinician to utilize these advancements wisely to achieve optimal aesthetic results for patients.
