Abstract
IntroductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the interest of capturing dynamic facial images in the diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics. MethodsWith the use of the PubMed search engine, we used the keywords “video AND orthodontics” and “dynamic analysis AND orthodontics”. The studies including patients with birth defects, syndromes or patients who had been previously submitted to orthodontic-orthognathic surgery were excluded. ResultsFrom the 178 articles, after analyzing all the abstracts, 15 articles were included. Only 8 were randomized controlled trials. ConclusionDespite the potential indicated the use of video images in the diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics, they shall function as a complement to conventional means. However, educational and motivational functions appear to bring out this technology compared to other methods.
