Artificial intelligence in orthodontics
A review
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, orthodontics, aligners, diagnosis, dentistryAbstract
This article aims to discuss how Artificial Intelligence (AI) with its powerful pattern finding and prediction algorithms are helping orthodontics. Much remains to be done to help patients and clinicians make better treatment decisions. AI is an excellent tool to help orthodontists to choose the best way to move teeth with aligners to pre-set positions. On the other hand, AI today completely ignores the existence of oral diseases, does not fully integrate facial analysis in its algorithms, and is unable to consider the impact of functional problems in treatments. AI do increase sensitivity and specificity in imaging diagnosis in several conditions, from syndrome diagnosis to caries detection. AI with its set of tools for problem-solving is starting to assist orthodontists with extra powerful applied resources to provide better standards of care.
