The rapid evolution of digital health technologies has transformed orthodontic care, with teledentistry emerging as a pivotal tool for remote diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring. This comprehensive review explores the evolution, applications, and clinical efficacy of teleorthodontics, emphasizing its role in enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and patient engagement. Integration of artificial intelligence (AI), 3D imaging, and cloud-based platforms has enabled precise diagnostics, virtual consultations, and real-time treatment tracking. Despite its numerous advantages, challenges such as limited tactile assessment, data security concerns, and unequal digital access remain significant barriers. Emerging innovations, including AI-driven predictive modeling, augmented reality, wearable sensors, and blockchain-based data security, are shaping the next generation of orthodontic care. The future lies in hybrid models that combine technological sophistication with personalized, patient-centered clinical practice for sustainable and equitable orthodontic management.
