Abstract
Nanotechnology involves the structuring and manipulation of materials at a molecular level. This technology is being applied to produce newer materials with enhanced properties and providing a direct control over matter at nano-scale. The applications of nanotechnology are being explored in various arenas including health care. The use of this technology would aid in improving the quality of health care being rendered to the patients. Nanotechnology has paved its way into various specialties of dentistry including orthodontics. Current research and applications of nanotechnology in orthodontics involve the use of nanomaterials like nanocomposites, nano-coated wires and brackets. The present article aims to provide an insight into the applications of nanotechnology and its future perspectives in orthodontics.
