AI INNOVATIONS IN DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING IN ORTHODONTICS

Abstract

Digital dentistry, initiated in 1973 by Professor François Duret, has evolved considerably in orthodontics, through the use of digital flow and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies enable accurate diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. AI has greatly improved the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics, with increasing applications due to advances in algorithms, processing and data availability. Objective: Evaluate AI applications for diagnosis, orthodontic treatment planning and improving patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The integration of AI into orthodontics has significantly transformed the way treatment is diagnosed, planned and administered, offering notable advantages in terms of precision and efficiency. However, its use presents challenges, such as the need for specialized training, prior professional experience to determine reference standards and the integration of these technologies into clinical practice. As technology continues to advance, the tools used will be improved and the current limitations overcome.
