What AI will do
- Digital scan analysis and treatment simulation
- Generating aligner plans from 3D models
- Appointment scheduling and progress tracking
What keeps you human
- Clinical judgment in complex or unusual cases
- Manual adjustment and fitting of appliances
- Patient reassurance over long treatment journeys
While tools like Invisalign use AI to generate aligners, orthodontic treatment involves complex clinical judgment, physical adjustment, and managing a patient relationship over 1-3 years. The technology augments the orthodontist; it does not replace them.
