Evidence-Based Digital Orthodontics

Over time it is very evident that clinicians are embracing the conversion of their practices to completely digital ones. Doing this, one cannot overlook the importance of carrying out an in-depth analysis and draw comparisons to more conventional practices. The process of extracting the benefits of this conversion should be dually driven, reaching both clinicians and patients, equally. It is imperative on the clinicians’ side to ensure that the newer practices are evidence-based and will deliver the claimed additional advantages to the patients who will be receiving these contemporary methods as stated by the manufacturers. The aim of this chapter is to provide the most robust evidence in implementing and acquiring the most contemporary technologies available.
