Abstract

Background: Orthodontics is a crucial field in dentistry that aims to enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of dental health by moving teeth into ideal positions. Malocclusion, a common dental issue, can impact a patient's social interactions and psychological well-being. Various factors, including genetic and environmental influences, contribute to the development of malocclusion. The classification of malocclusion, based on the position of teeth, helps in determining treatment approaches. Objective: This review aims to explore recent advancements in orthodontic treatments for malocclusion, analyze the etiology and classification of malocclusion, and assess patient satisfaction and outcomes following treatment with new orthodontic methods. Conclusion: Recent advancements in orthodontics, such as 3D imaging technology, clear aligners, lingual braces, and accelerated orthodontic treatments, have significantly improved treatment outcomes and patient experiences. These innovations have provided more comfortable, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing options for addressing malocclusion, ultimately enhancing patients' quality of life. Embracing these new methods can lead to more personalized and effective orthodontic care, resulting in stable and long-lasting results for patients with malocclusion.
