Abstract
The use of technological devices has not always successfully increased the efficiency of orthodontic practices. Often, new technology is introduced into the practice too soon, effectively interrupting the learning process of their older counterparts and hindering optimization. Consequently, the ultimate goal of efficiency can easily become eclipsed by indulging into new orthodontic gadgets. Cone beam computed tomography can similarly get in the way, if the users are not aware of such phenomena. In this article the author relates how these can negatively affect efficiency, while explaining the role of software interoperability for the ergonomics of the orthodontic practice. Some suggestions on how to prepare for the future are provided.
