Due to complex computer modeling it will soon be possible in the future to evaluate orthodontic protocols with systems biology for the dentofacial complex. Also one will be able to simulate the processes of development of the teeth and the head this way, as well as environmental factors influencing these processes. It is certain that everything that is already used in other biological systems, will one day also be used in the dentofacial system and from there also in orthodontics. Before it comes to that, a lot of data still remain to be gathered by reductionistic experiments.
由于复杂的计算机建模，未来很快就有可能用系统生物学来评估牙颌面复合体的正畸方案。通过这种方式，人们还能够模拟牙齿和头部的发育过程，以及影响这些过程的环境因素。可以肯定的是，目前在其他生物系统中已经使用的所有方法，终有一天也会应用于牙颌面系统，进而应用于正畸学。在此之前，仍有大量数据需要通过还原论实验来收集。
