Softwares in Orthodontics.

      Аннотация: In the field of orthodontics, it is imperative to study each case in various aspects before arriving to a diagnosis, which requires the clinician to study and store various data such as lateral cephalograms, study models, photographs and other advanced diagnostic data like CBCT. The management of all the data and its analysis is a time and space consuming process, which is an addition to the orthodontist’s clinical work hence over the years various software programs have been introduced in the field of orthodontics to make the interpretation of data easier, quicker and less space consuming. Software programs have been introduced in various aspects of orthodontic practice such as lateral cephalogram interpretation, study model analysis, photographic analysis, orthognathic surgery stimulation, treatment plan stimulation and even for clinical procedures like, precise bracket positioning. Therefore, it is essential to understand and utilize the technology available for a successful orthodontic practice. This work discusses the several software programs available in the field of orthodontics, its usage and relevance in clinical practice.
