Abstract：Nanotechnology by precisely regulating the interface properties of materials and biological responses,offers innovative solutions to the core challenges in orthodontics,including frictional resistance control,prevention of enamel demineralization,and improvement of anchorage stability.Research has confirmed that nano-coating technology significantly optimizes the mechanical performance of the archwire-bracket interface;smart adhesive systems enhance mechanical strength while conferring active antibacterial functionality;surface modifications of functionalized anchorage miniscrews effectively promote osseointegration and metabolic balance modulation;and antimicrobial nanomaterials synergize with biosensor technology to achieve dynamic prevention and control of complications.Furthermore,the combined application of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound and nanoparticles accelerates tooth movement,while magnetic nanorobot technology offers a novel paradigm for targeted bone remodeling.This article proposes a"nano-bio-digital"tripartite clinical translation pathway,emphasizing the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration to overcome bottlenecks in biosafety and standardization,thereby propelling orthodontic diagnostics and treatment towards intelligent and precise advancement.
