Abstract

The world is transitioning to a digital age, and orthodontics is no exception. The use of technology in orthodontics has risen dramatically, and computer literacy is no longer rudimentary. Since the invention and development of mobile phones, digital technology has h a huge impact on our daily lives. Digital technology has substantially improved medical diagnosis, educational resources, therapeutic modalities, and surgical techniques over the past two decades. When computerised scheduling was introduced in dental and orthodontic offices in 1974, digital technology began to take hold. Every facet of orthodontic treatment has been impacted by digital technology.
