Abstract

The integration of digital technologies into orthodontic practice has revolutionized diagnosis, treatment planning, appliance fabrication, patient communication, and clinical workflow management. Traditional orthodontic methods involving plaster models, manual measurements, and conventional radiographs are increasingly being replaced by digital systems such as intraoral scanners, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), artificial intelligence (AI), computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), three-dimensional (3D) printing, and cloud-based patient management platforms. These technologies improve clinical accuracy, efficiency, patient comfort, and treatment predictability while facilitating personalized orthodontic care. This review examines the evolution of digital workflows in orthodontics, key technologies involved, clinical applications, advantages, limitations, and future developments. Findings indicate that digital workflows significantly enhance treatment outcomes and operational efficiency while supporting evidence-based and patient-centered care. Future innovations involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, augmented reality, and remote monitoring are expected to further transform orthodontic practice.
