Many writers' differing points of view have sparked a chain reaction of disputes that have given rise to a number of debates in the area of orthodontics. A situation of protracted public disagreement or discussion, generally involving a difference of opinion, is called controversy. Originating from the Latin word "controversia" the word was created by combining the terms "controversus" which means "turned in an opposite direction," and "versus," which means "to turn against." The word "controversy" has a distinct connotation in orthodontics. Therefore, it's critical to distinguish clearly between orthodontic and controversy-related issues. A trend is emerging towards evidence-based rather than opinion based decisions. This article's goal was to provide the most recent orthodontics issues and give evidence-based research in order to get to a mutually agreeable conclusion.
