The role of AI and machine learning in contemporary orthodontics

In the past 20 years, orthodontic profession has adopted digital technologies such as computer-assisted tooth movement, automated staged dental aligner production, and 3D simulations. Until recently, use of artificial intelligence (AI) was limited to narrow supervised “learning” cephalometric point recognition, segmentation teeth from files, staging treatment. The next step will be create neural networks based on general (the human is considered intelligence), where network using powerful computers complex algorithms “learn” diagnosis treatment planning suggest most appropriate plan for optimized treatments more predictable outcomes. objectives this paper are describe state art in AI orthodontics explore potential avenues future developments applications.
