title: [Technology and progress in orthodontics].
abstract: As in other areas of dentistry, too, technological progress has resulted in new developments for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in orthodontics. The use of new technologies is focussed on two main areas: the use of new materials and methods in the treatment with fixed appliances, and the use of electronic data processing in diagnosis, particularly in cephalometry.
