Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Three-dimensional technologies have been widely used in different areas of dentistry, including orthodontics. In both orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery, the implementation of this technology has gradually changed the way clinicians carry out their diagnoses, treatment plans, case management, and outcome assessments. In addition, over the past few decades, there has been incredible progress in relation to orthodontic materials, namely, technopolymers, aligners, mini-implants, brackets, wires, and 3D impressions.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the latest information on orthodontic materials and technologies. The Topics in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to): 3D cephalometry; software for cephalometric superimposition; automated cephalometry landmark detection by AI; 3D segmentation and airway measurement method using CBCT; 3D imaging for indirect-direct bonding of dental appliances; new technologies in dental aligners; tridimensional planning and 3D printing of surgical guides for mini-implant placement; corticotomy technique using CAD/CAM printed surgical guides; 3D bone segmentation and 3D orthognathic surgery planning; retainer fabrication techniques using CAD-CAM technology; photo-realistic visualisation for orthognathic surgery; CAD/CAM technology for intraoral appliance fabrication; telemedicine; 3D printing materials; robotic archwires; and new bracket systems.
High-quality research papers, clinical studies, review articles, and case reports are all welcome.
We invite you to submit your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
