Artificial intelligence in orthodontic diagnosis

Abstract

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has emerged as a revolutionary tool in the healthcare system. Its growing application has made a significant impact, particularly in the fields of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, contributing to advancements and greater specialization in these areas. With the increasing digitalization of orthodontics, various manufacturing processes, such as the fabrication of indirect bonding trays, aligner production, and wire bending, can now be automated. This review article explores the applications of AI in orthodontics, emphasizing its role in diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning, automated cephalometric landmark identification, radiographic interpretation, and the assessment of soft tissue treatment outcomes.
