If we use proper biomechanics, we can cut down treatment time by minimizing or eliminating side effects. Applying proper mechanics can cut down treatment time 40-50%.
The so-called smart orthodontics refers to the realization of orthodontic case management, analysis and diagnosis, treatment plan formulation, visual efficacy prediction, and appliance evaluation through technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, graphics and image processing, computer-aided design, and auxiliary manufacturing.
As an orthodontic clinician, IOF gives me the opportunity to learn about the new technologies and clinical tools. Their courses are great and I recommend everyone interested in the field to listen to their lectures!
I just applied for IOF's research grant, I think it is a great opportunity for scientists to access grants so we can have the necessary funding to pursue our studies!
IOF is great! I think it is still a young organization but it offers great services, membership and courses are free!
