The "tap and swipe" culture has touched every sphere of our lives.Orthodontics has embraced tech-nology whole-heartedly, and this infusion has altered the face of our diagnostic, mechano-thera-peutic, appliance-design, didactic and management protocols.The physical forms of most ortho-dontic entities are slowly but surely being replaced by digital and cloud applications that are 'up in the air', and have altered the dynamics of the 'orthodontic experience'.This presentation focuses on this trend and its impact on patient care.Three specific areas will be deliberated -Orthodontic Apps & Appliances,Imaging and Rapid Prototyping- with Evidence based information on these terrains.The focus will be on- a)the clinician's and patient's unplugged responses to use of technology in different aspects of orthodontic care, b)A ringside view of different technology applications as existing today with a special focus on various orthodontic apps, imaging and 3D printing; and c)future developments that can change the face of orthodontic health-care.Clinical applications and an Evidence Based Perspective on the efficacy of every application will be discussed .
