Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics form a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting irregularities in tooth alignment, jaw positioning, and facial structure. This field plays a crucial role not only in enhancing facial aesthetics but also in improving oral function, speech, and overall dental health. Orthodontic treatment helps align teeth for better occlusion, preventing long-term issues such as tooth wear, gum disease, and jaw discomfort. Dentofacial Orthopedics, an integral part of this specialty, deals with guiding facial bone growth and development, particularly in younger patients. By addressing skeletal discrepancies early, practitioners can correct imbalances between the upper and lower jaws, ensuring proper harmony between facial features and dental structures. Together, these disciplines contribute to improved oral health, functionality, and self-confidence.

The session on Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics will highlight recent advances in digital orthodontics, biomechanics, and AI driven treatment planning. Participants will explore innovations such as clear aligner systems, self-ligating braces, lingual orthodontics, and 3D imaging technologies that have transformed traditional treatment approaches. The integration of digital tools like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanners, and virtual treatment simulation has enhanced precision, predictability, and patient experience. The discussion will also cover early orthodontic intervention, minimally invasive techniques, and interdisciplinary collaboration with surgeons and prosthodontists. Attendees will gain insights into how emerging technologies, personalized treatment planning, and evidence-based clinical practices are shaping the future of orthodontic care, ensuring optimal outcomes and improved patient satisfaction.
