This bibliometric analysis evaluates the 1000 most-cited orthodontic articles to assess the influence of female ortho dontists in research between the years 2000−2023. A total of 677 publications featuring at least one female ortho dontic author were identified, with 54 % being first-written by women and 4.58 % produced only by female contributions. Forty-eight percent of these publications were published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. The United States ranked first in publications, followed by Brazil and Italy, with the University of Michigan being the most productive institution. Research trends have transitioned from root resorp tion and skeletal growth in earlier years to artificial intelligence and digital technologies in more recent times.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBibliometric AnalysisFemale AuthorshipOrthodonticsArticle10.1053/j.sodo.2025.02.001113Q22-s2.0-85217950022Q2
