Obstacles behind the innovation- a peek into Artificial intelligence in the field of orthodontics – A Literature review

Abstract

This article explores the potential benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in Orthodontics, highlighting their efficiency and accuracy. While AI has influenced various fields, its application in orthodontics is just being explored. With the innovation comes challenges that are associated with AI. This article emphasizes the documented role of AI and its associated barriers in Orthodontics. Methods: Literature research is performed in data sources like online library journals PubMed and MEDLINE, NIH (National Institute of Health), Science Direct, WILEY online library, and ORAL HEALTH GROUP, among others. Our review was carried out on articles published to date. Conclusion: The findings in this review highlight the considerable promise of employing AI within orthodontics. However, the emergence of AI also brings forth fresh challenges that must be considered. Striking a balance between innovation and addressing these challenges is crucial for advancing orthodontics.
