Research into the biomechanical aspects of orthodontic devices and their effects on tooth movement and anchorage is a consistent theme, providing insights into improving treatment efficiency. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
The journal encourages studies that integrate orthodontics with other dental specialties, including periodontics, oral surgery, and pediatric dentistry, highlighting collaborative treatment strategies. - Patient-Centered Outcomes:
There is a growing interest in evaluating patient experiences, quality of life, and psychological factors associated with orthodontic treatment, ensuring a holistic approach to care.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Orthodontics and 3D Printing:
There is a significant increase in studies focusing on the use of digital technologies, including 3D printing for orthodontic appliances, which enhance customization and precision in treatment. - Artificial Intelligence in Orthodontics:
The integration of artificial intelligence for diagnostic and predictive modeling is trending, showcasing its potential to improve treatment outcomes and patient management. - Orthodontic Treatment for Special Populations:
Emerging research is focusing on orthodontic care for patients with specific conditions, such as cleft lip and palate or developmental disorders, highlighting the need for tailored treatment approaches. - Long-Term Outcomes of Orthodontic Treatments:
There is a growing interest in evaluating the long-term stability and effectiveness of various orthodontic treatments, ensuring that practitioners can provide evidence-based care. - Impact of Orthodontics on Airway and Breathing:
Research exploring the relationship between orthodontic treatments and airway health is on the rise, reflecting an increasing awareness of the multidisciplinary implications of orthodontic care. - Patient-Reported Outcomes and Quality of Life:
The trend towards assessing patient-reported outcomes and quality of life indicators is gaining traction, indicating a shift towards more patient-centered orthodontic practices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Fixed Appliances:
Research on conventional fixed orthodontic appliances has decreased as newer technologies, such as clear aligners and self-ligating systems, gain popularity and demonstrate improved patient outcomes. - Basic Cephalometric Analysis:
While cephalometric analysis remains important, there is a noticeable decline in studies relying solely on traditional cephalometric techniques, with a shift towards more comprehensive 3D imaging methods. - Manual Techniques in Orthodontics:
The focus on manual orthodontic techniques and subjective assessments is waning as digital technologies and automated systems offer more precise and objective measures for treatment planning. - Surgical Orthodontics in General:
There appears to be a decrease in the volume of studies solely focused on surgical orthodontics, possibly due to increasing emphasis on nonsurgical methods and less invasive treatment protocols. - Historical Perspectives on Orthodontic Practices:
Research that reviews historical practices or techniques in orthodontics is becoming less common, as the field moves towards contemporary evidence-based approaches.
