Abstract
Teleorthodontics is an emerging field that leverages digital technology to provide remote orthodontic consultations, treatment monitoring, and patient communication. With the increasing adoption of telehealth, teleorthodontics offers a convenient and efficient solution for both patients and practitioners by reducing the need for in-person visits while maintaining effective treatment oversight. Through mobile applications, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital imaging, orthodontists can assess dental conditions, track treatment progress, and provide timely guidance. This approach enhances accessibility to orthodontic care, particularly for patients in remote areas or those with busy schedules. However, challenges such as limitations in accurate diagnosis, the need for physical interventions, and data security concerns must be addressed. As technology advances, integrating teleorthodontics with traditional orthodontic practices can optimize patient care, making treatment more efficient and patient-centered.
