Special Issue "Advances in Orthodontic Technology and Individualized Treatment Volume II"

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring the latest advances in the field of orthodontic technology and individualized treatment. Particularly welcome are works that present current research methodologies regarding quantifiable biological parameters pertinent to orthodontic technology and case-sensitive treatment in children or adolescents. More specifically, we aim to include recent advances in genetic and biological mechanisms related to oro-dento-facial development, as well as links between dental genetics and overall health.

Additionally, we welcome manuscripts dealing with the design and application of biomaterials, as well as their interactions with the body. Contemporary “invisible” orthodontic appliances, such as clear aligners and lingual braces, are treatment options preferable to adults; however, several aspects need further investigation.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
