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