Br Dent J. 2024 Sep;237(5):317-325. doi: 10.1038/s41415-024-7838-1. Epub 2024 Sep 13.

Abstract

Combined orthodontic-restorative treatment represents an increasing proportion of our practice, mirroring increasing provision of adult orthodontics and refinements in appliance design. By harnessing simple digital technology, it may be possible to promote more predictable aesthetic, biological and functional interdisciplinary outcomes. In particular, digital approaches can be embedded in the diagnostic and treatment planning phase, enhancing our communication with patients and colleagues while also permitting more detailed analysis and more refined planning.
