Nanotechnology is a rapidly evolving field with numerous biological applications and is becoming increasingly significant due to its immense potential to enhance the properties of orthodontic and biomaterials. It is employed in various emerging areas of orthodontics, focusing on improving the performance of diverse orthodontic appliances and accessories, as well as nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and nanorobots. Nevertheless, the biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of nanomaterials in orthodontic applications require further investigation. This paper reviews the latest applications of nanomaterials in orthodontics, elucidates their unique features and synergistic applications in orthodontics, and outlines prospective developments in the field.
纳米技术是一个快速发展的领域，具有许多生物学应用，由于其极大地提高了正畸和生物材料性能的潜力，因此变得越来越重要。它被应用于正畸的各个新兴领域，专注于改进各种正畸器械和附件的性能，以及纳米机电系统（NEMS）和纳米机器人的性能。然而，正畸应用中纳米材料的生物相容性和细胞毒性仍需要进一步研究。本文综述了纳米材料在正畸学中的最新应用，阐明了它们在正畸学中的独特特性和协同应用，并概述了该领域的未来发展。
