Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), which has affected almost all medical professions, has had a significant negative influence on dental care. Additionally, non-urgent dental procedures were stopped during the epidemic in a number of countries. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the impact of COVID-19 on individuals who had undergone or are currently having orthodontic treatment in any capacity during/after the pandemic's occurrence. After a thorough search of the online journals, a total of 634 documents were found, and 416 of the papers were initially chosen. The removal of 362 similar or duplicate publications that followed led to the initial availability of 54 separate papers. The final selection consisted of 23 documents, mostly in vitro investigations, cross-sectional studies, and comparative evaluations, which satisfied the necessary inclusion and exclusion criteria. COVID-19 had a significant impact on nearly every sphere of the patients' lives who were undergoing orthodontic treatment. However, people who are currently availing of various orthodontic treatment modalities did not experience the same issues as the ones faced by patients earlier. Teleorthodontics emerged as a viable option to access treatment during the lockdown period caused due to the pandemic. COVID-19 also had an overall negative impact on the psyche and morale of orthodontists around the world. .
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）几乎影响了所有医疗行业，对牙科护理产生了重大负面影响。此外，一些国家在疫情期间停止了非紧急牙科手术。本系统评价的目的是研究COVID-19对在大流行发生期间/之后曾以任何方式接受过正畸治疗或正在接受正畸治疗的个人的影响。在对在线期刊进行全面搜索后，共找到634份文件，最初选择了416篇论文。随后剔除362篇相似或重复的出版物，最终得到54篇独立的论文。最终入选23篇文献，主要为体外研究、横断面研究和比较评价，符合必要的纳入和排除标准。COVID-19对正在接受正畸治疗的患者生活的几乎每个方面都产生了重大影响。然而，目前正在接受各种正畸治疗方式的人没有遇到与早期患者相同的问题。远程正畸成为在大流行导致的封锁期间获得治疗的可行选择。COVID-19对世界各地正畸医生的心理和士气也产生了总体负面影响。
