Abstract
This paper explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the role of dental assistants and nurses in orthodontic practices, as there is a gap in understanding the currently evolving impact on orthodontic treatment workflows. The introduction of AI-language models such as ChatGPT 4 is changing patient-office communication and transforming the role of orthodontic nurses. Teledentistry is now heavily reliant on AI implementation in orthodontics. This paper presents the proof of a novel concept: an AI-powered orthodontic workflow that provides new responsibilities for an orthodontic nurse. It also provides a report of an assessment of such a workflow in an orthodontic practice that uses an AI solution called Dental Monitoring over a period of three years. The paper evaluates the benefits and drawbacks of daily automated assessments of orthodontic treatment progress, the impact of AI on personalized care, and the new role of a dental assistant. The paper concludes that AI will improve dental practice through more precise and personalized treatment, bringing new roles and responsibilities for trained medical professionals but raising new ethical and legal issues for dental practices.
