Today’s dental technology is far different from what it used to be just a couple of decades ago. As orthodontists and dental professionals, many of us have seen the evolution of dental equipments and techniques firsthand. Today, these advancements allow us to provide state-of-the-art treatment and a better patient experience for everyone who walks into our offices.

Technology used in orthodontic treatment continues to progress at an incredible pace. If we want to continue providing fast, efficient, and effective treatment to our patients, we need to make sure that we stay up-to-date with changes in the field.

Here are four trends that orthodontists and dentists should keep an eye on:

1. Passive Self-Ligating Systems
2. Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
3- 3D Imaging With CBCT Scanning
4. Digitally Customized Smile Design Systems
