Eco-Conscious Orthodontics: A Greener Approach to Dental Care

With the advancing world, where the medical and dental fields are progressing every day toward better and finer diagnosis and treatment modalities to enhance and provide better standards of life, it becomes important for medical and dental professionals to consider the environment and apply environmental sustainability measures moving towards a better future. One such practice is green dentistry, where "reduce, reuse, rethink, and recycle" are being implemented and, similarly, "eco-friendly" dentistry, which recommends the use of "ask, assess, advice, and assist." With the same concept of keeping in the limelight, green orthodontics gives us an idea of reducing, reusing, rethinking, and recycling materials and products to bring about a more sustainable and better future.
