Introduction:
Orthodontic aligners are clear plastic trays that fit closely over the teeth. The aligners themselves, whether Invisalign or an Invisalign alternative, are orthodontic appliances, like braces, that are tools in the hands of orthodontists, not a stand-alone treatment. The important factors in choosing orthodontic treatment are the skill and experience of the orthodontist (a specialist in orthodontics), who creates and executes your treatment plan, and the through which that specialist exercises control over the treat ment design and outcome. Orthodontic care looks different today thanks to advances in technology. AI in Orthodontics is changing how treatment is planned, monitored, and completed. It helps orthodontists pre dict tooth movement, speed up planning, and improve results using data-driven tools.[figure 1] With advances in technology, it is possible to design aligners using artificial intelligence. An Invisalign aligner, as is true for all clear aligners, acts as an orthodontic appliance for use by an orthodontist. The differ ences across aligner brands are limited to variations in the align er material and the sophistication of the company’s dashboard used by the orthodontist to specify the treatment that he or she has planned for the patient and the consequent ability of that company’s software to translate those instructions into the aligners to be worn by the patient. As stated above, what is important is not the aligner brand, per se, but the skill and experience of the orthodontist who controls your treatment plan and outcome and the sophistication of the aligner company’s orthodontist dashboard.
