Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers malocclusion one of the most important oral health problems. It is not only young patients who have orthodontic treatment needs, but also quite a few of adults. During orthodontic treatment, alveolar bone and periodontal tissues undergo remodeling under mechanical force loading. With the recent technology development, remarkable breakthroughs have been achieved in the fields of dental tissue engineering, introducing exciting changes to the field of orthodontics. On the other hand, research on the mechanism of orthodontic tooth movement is also providing input to other dental fields and fields beyond dentistry that involve bone biology.
This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality original research work, case reports, as well as reviews on the range of bioengineering methods and their applications in orthodontics and bone remodeling. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Application of bioengineering models for tooth movement;
- Biomolecular and cellular mechanisms in orthodontics;
- Computational approaches in tooth movement;
- Orthodontic biomechanics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
