Artificial intelligence in orthodontics: A way towards modernization

Abstract

Recent years, artificial intelligence technology has been a revolutionary tool in health care system, an increase in application of the technology noted significantly in Orthodontics as well. AI is an outstanding tool to help orthodontists as it can be utilized from the beginning to diagnose till the planning of the treatment. Along with speeding up the diagnosis and treatment processes, automation can cut labour expenses to zero.A well-trained AI model, which simulates human intelligence through machines, can aid in all kinds of linear, angular, and volumetric measurements in addition to helping identify landmarks, greatly reducing measurement time so that researchers can focus their efforts on discovering novel clinical insights. In this review article, artificial intelligence in orthodontics is discussed in relation to its use to clinical decision-making, diagnosis and treatment planning, estimation of growth and development, evaluating the facial proportion, prediction of cephalometric land mark and force system and also in analysing the soft tissue treatment outcomes.
