    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Dental Industry
    • Scientific Literature

    Background:

    • The current direction of orthodontics is heavily influenced by industry marketing and device-centric approaches.
    • There's a perceived passive role of orthodontic specialists in shaping their professional trajectory.
    • This reliance on industry may be overshadowing evidence-based practices and clinical judgment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically evaluate the current state and future direction of the orthodontic specialty.
    • To explore the reasons behind the increasing influence of the dental industry on orthodontic practices.
    • To propose strategies for orthodontists to regain control over their profession's evolution.

    Main Methods:

    • A critical review of the current trends and historical literature in orthodontics.
    • Analysis of the impact of manufacturers' claims and marketing on professional development.
    • Examination of foundational scientific principles and clinical observations from earlier orthodontic literature.

    Main Results:

    • Orthodontics is currently led by industry, focusing on device- and machine-based techniques.
    • The profession has adopted a passive role in response to industrial influence.
    • Historical clinical literature offers valuable, science-based insights potentially overlooked today.

    Conclusions:

    • Reclaiming professional autonomy in orthodontics necessitates revising training programs and journal formats.
    • A return to the principles and observations of early, science-based clinicians is recommended.
    • Shifting focus from industry-driven innovation to evidence-based practice is crucial for the specialty's future.
