Abstract

Background: The year 2023 has witnessed unprecedented advancements in orthodontic treatments, offering patients an enhanced level of comfort, efficiency, and effectiveness in dental care. This systematic review aims to identify the recent developments in the field of orthodontics and discuss their performance about clinical application.

Methods: The literature for this paper was identified and selected by performing a thorough search in electronic databases like PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, published over the past five years. Literature reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses from January 2019– December 2023 were included in the study. Recent original articles within the past five years related to orthodontic advancements were also included in the study. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 26 articles were scrutinized, studied, and then critically analyzed. Quality analysis was performed using QUADAS-2.

Results: This study reveals that technological advancement and research in the field of orthodontics is getting pace. The field of orthodontics has embraced state-of-the-art technology, including digital orthodontics, customized clear aligners, accelerated treatment options, AI, and robotic wire bending, to revolutionize smiles and improve oral health.

Conclusion: As technological advancements persist in the trajectory; one can foresee imminent and revolutionary breakthroughs in the years ahead. This study will help and guide orthodontists to enhance their treatment strategies by keeping pace with the recent advancements in the field.
