Abstract

Many writers' differing points of view have sparked a chain reaction of disputes that have given rise to a number of debates in the area of orthodontics. A situation of protracted public disagreement or discussion, generally involving a difference of opinion, is called controversy. Originating from the Latin word "controversia" the word was created by combining the terms "controversus" which means "turned in an opposite direction," and "versus," which means "to turn against." The word "controversy" has a distinct connotation in orthodontics. Therefore, it's critical to distinguish clearly between orthodontic and controversy-related issues. A trend is emerging towards evidence-based rather than opinion based decisions. This article's goal was to provide the most recent orthodontics issues and give evidence-based research in order to get to a mutually agreeable conclusion.

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.
