Recent Diagnostic Aids

Orthodontics is a field of dentistry that deals with correcting malocclusions or improper bites, through the use of braces, aligners, and other appliances. In recent years, significant advances have been made in orthodontics, including the following:Digital orthodontics: The use of digital technology has revolutionized orthodontic treatment. Digital imaging, 3D printing, and computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are now widely used to create accurate and customized treatment plans.Clear aligners: Clear aligners, such as Invisalign have become increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional metal braces. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, comfortable to wear, and can be removed for eating and brushing.Self-ligating braces: Self-ligating braces use a specialized clip to hold the archwire in place, eliminating the need for elastic ties. This technology allows for quicker and more efficient treatment with less discomfort and fewer office visits. Accelerated orthodontics: Accelerated orthodontics uses innovative techniques, such as micro-osteoperforation and low-level laser therapy, to speed up the tooth movement process and shorten treatment times.
