Digital diagnosis and treatment are required for precise, efficient, and individualized orthodontic practice. Here we have a digital orthodontic clinic especially aimed at this goal, which is equipped with advanced software and hardware, including a digital intraoral scanner, a model scanner, a three-dimensional face acquisition system, a three-dimensional printer, and digital orthodontic analysis software. This clinic also carries out a series of new techniques featured with "digital orthodontics," such as clear aligner, customized labial or lingual appliances, and orthognathic surgical guiding devices. Most importantly, it encourages our team members to use digital approaches to innovate independently and breakthrough clinical difficulties. At present, the team has obtained over 10 digital orthodontic patents, and the related clinical research has been reported at international, national, and regional academic conferences, which have been unanimously recognized by domestic and foreign counterparts.
