Role of Robotics in Transforming Orthodontic Practice – A Narrative Review

Abstract

Abstract The dental specialty of orthodontics is moving toward a modern era of dental medicine assisted by robots. The advent of artificial intelligence in the field of technology has led to the emergence of robotics which has remarkably changed the orthodontic scenario in today’s world. The latest technology of robotics has various applications in the field of orthodontics to facilitate better treatment outcomes. From the management and diagnosis of treatment for orthodontic patients to helping orthodontists in patient care, robots have played a vital role. The blooming augmented reality with the latest concept of nanotechnology has paved the way for the production of robots and nanorobots, covering the broader areas of medical science. However, modern robot technology has not been introduced completely to orthodontic research; hence, this review highlights the application of robots and the futuristic aspects of artificial intelligence in orthodontics.
