Orthodontics, being a comprehensive subject involving technicalities associated with diagnosis and treatment planning, the specific role of DTT, remains underexplored. This gap presents a crucial opportunity to harness its power to create dynamic virtual models for truly personalized and data\u2010driven care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The objective is to map the extent and type of evidence available on the applicability of DTT in orthodontics, including its advantages, challenges, implementation in clinical settings, and perspective trends.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A review synthesis for relevant articles published between 2005 and April 2025 in the English language was conducted across electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science. Studies meeting the predefined eligibility criteria were included, and data relating to the applicability of digital twins (DTs) in orthodontics were assessed.
