The AI Revolution in Orthodontics: Shaping The Future of Smiles

Description

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a significant revolutionary force in various fields, including orthodontics. AI-based software can improve operational efficiency, disseminate dental knowledge and best practices, and facilitate information sharing between medical and dental practitioners. These aid in treatment of medically compromised patients. Patients should be informed about how their data is used, including the use of AI-based decision-making. Furthermore, it is especially important if there is a lack of regulatory policy, AI is used to save costs instead of improving patient health, or the dentist has a conflict of interest. This review was envisaged with a view to shed a light on modern perspective of AI based treatment modalities in Orthodontics.
