Declining or Waning
- Traditional Orthodontic Techniques:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focusing solely on traditional orthodontic methods without incorporating modern technologies or interdisciplinary approaches, as the field increasingly emphasizes innovation. - Aesthetic Concerns without Functionality:
Research that prioritizes aesthetic outcomes without considering functional implications has decreased. There is a growing recognition of the importance of integrating function and aesthetics in treatment planning. - Non-evidence-based Practices:
Papers discussing non-evidence-based practices, such as anecdotal methods or outdated techniques, are becoming less frequent as the journal encourages rigorous, evidence-based research.
