Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research (OCR)

Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research is a well‑established, peer‑reviewed academic journal first published in 2002, serving the global orthodontic and craniofacial research community. Published quarterly by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. (Wiley‑Blackwell), it offers a forum for presenting and critically discussing studies that advance scientific knowledge and clinical practice in orthodontics and related disciplines. The journal emphasizes evidence‑based research on craniofacial growth and development, orthodontic treatment outcomes, clinical epidemiology, and diagnostic and therapeutic innovations. Submissions include high‑quality original research, clinical trials, reviews, case reports of clinical significance, and scholarly essays. Its interdisciplinary scope spans genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing sciences, and other biomedical fields that intersect with clinical orthodontics and craniofacial biology. The journal fosters communication between basic scientists and clinicians to improve patient care through scientifically grounded insights. Being indexed in major medical databases like MEDLINE/PubMed and recognized in dentistry and orthodontics categories reflects its academic credibility. The diverse content supports clinical decision making and stimulates research that bridges fundamental science and clinical application in craniofacial and orthodontic health.
