Orthodontics and pediatric dentistry are at the forefront of significant advancements due to the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced biomaterials, and three-dimensional imaging. These technologies are transforming diagnostic procedures and therapeutic methodologies, thus enhancing both treatment accuracy and outcomes. In pediatric dentistry, strategies involving early detection and prevention are proving vital in the management of dental anomalies and improving patient cooperation. Similarly, orthodontics is benefiting from innovative developments in biomechanics, clear aligner systems, and digital workflows, all of which contribute to more precise and effective treatments. These innovations do not only elevate clinical efficacy but also pave the way for solutions that are patient-friendly and minimally invasive.

This Research Topic aims to delve into the recent technological advancements and novel therapeutic approaches within orthodontics and pediatric dentistry. It seeks to highlight studies that demonstrate how these emerging technologies can improve diagnosis, treatment planning, and overall patient care. The goal is to encourage collaboration among clinicians, engineers, and scientists to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in these fields, ensuring these advancements lead to tangible improvements in dental health management.

To gather further insights in these dynamic fields, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Implementation and impacts of artificial intelligence in dental diagnostics and treatment planning.

• Utilization of three-dimensional imaging for enhanced accuracy and patient outcomes.

• Innovations in the use and application of biomaterials in treatment processes.

• Behavioral management and preventive strategies in pediatric dentistry.

• Advances in biomechanics and digital tools that enhance orthodontic treatment precision.

Submissions from researchers and clinicians who are at the intersection of technological innovation and practical application in dentistry are particularly encouraged. This Research Topic also seeks contributions that evaluate the real-world impact of these technological advancements on dental care quality.
