Abstract
Nanotechnology in dentistry has evolved over the last few decades. Its applications in orthodontics have been introduced in orthodontic bonding to improve fixed orthodontic appliance bonding, exploration of gene therapy to enhance mandibular growth stimulation, investigation of a nanofabricated ultrasound device to assuage external apical root resorption associated with orthodontic treatment, and exploration of nanomechanical sensors for real-time orthodontic forces and moments measurement. This chapter presents the contemporary evidence of using nanotechnology in these applications and their potential future use. Also, limitations of their use in orthodontics are presented.
