Effect of Nanotechnology in Orthodontic Materials : An Overview

Nanotechnology is defined as the multidisciplinary approach in materials and devices at the nanoscale level to detect and exploit the useful properties that derive from these dimensions; materials with components less than 100 nm in at least one dimension are called nanomaterials. Enhancing human life and health is the aim of various advancements in this field. The most recent advancements in nanotechnology in dentistry, particularly in orthodontics, are to be summed up and described in this article. Additionally, we discuss the potential use of nanotechnology in orthodontics.
