Tech-Tuned Smiles: A Narrative Review on the Role of Software in Modern Orthodontics.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Digital orthodontic treatment has revolutionized modern orthodontics by integrating advanced software solutions into diagnosis, treatment planning, and appliance fabrication. These software systems optimize clinical workflows, increase accuracy, and enhance patient outcomes. These include 3D imaging tools for capturing intraoral scans, cephalometric analysis for precise measurements, and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies for custom orthodontic appliances and software for predicting tooth movement and customizing aligner sequences, allowing virtual treatment simulations to visualize outcomes, and boosting confidence and compliance. Intraoral scanners capture digital models quickly, replacing traditional impressions, saving time and improving comfort. Moreover, automated patient management tools track progress and send reminders, keeping treatments on schedule. Despite these advantages, the high costs of software, the learning curve for practitioners, and the need for constant updates can be challenging. This abstract provides an overview of digital orthodontic software's pivotal role in advancing personalized, efficient, and precise orthodontic care.
