LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is a powerful source of light, which has innumerable applications in all the fields of science including medicine and dentistry. It is one such technology that has become a desirable and an inseparable alternative to many traditional surgical procedures being held in the field of dentistry, and orthodontics is no exception. The current article describes the uses of a diode laser as an indispensable tool in an orthodontic office.

Our intelligence is what makes us human, and robots are an extension of that quality. Robots play an important role in providing physical subordinates and even companionship in today's medical world. Orthodontics has always endeavored to improve the efficacy and efficiency of its appliances. The use of robots gives precise outcomes in less time and also reduces the risk of infection. This paper intends to collect literature from PUBMED, PUBMED central, Google Scholar and Sciencedirect on uses of robotics in orthodontics. The review enumerates the applications of robots in orthodontic and orthognathic procedures which can be easily programmed and performed with almost negligible risk of disease transmission. During the COVID-19 pandemic, robots would prove to be great assistance. The paper presented can prove to be a boon in the present scenario. The review also makes few recommendations by which orthodontists can practice better without any risk.
