Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of malocclusions, or misalignments of the teeth and jaws. Over the years, the field has witnessed significant advancements in both techniques and technologies, contributing to improved treatment outcomes and patient experiences. This abstract reviews key developments in orthodontics, highlighting innovations that have reshaped traditional practices. The advent of digital technology has revolutionized diagnostics and treatment planning. Three-dimensional imaging, digital impressions, and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) have enhanced the precision of treatment, allowing orthodontists to create customized treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs.
