In orthodontic diagnosis, the most crucial stage of orthodontic treatment, AI is being used in numerous ways. It automatically analyzes skeletal and soft tissues from cephalograms and CBCT 3D volume imaging and can identify facial asymmetry and dentofacial syndromes from facial photos. AI is also used in predicting facial growth, performing automatic diagnostic setups, and forecasting treatment outcomes (VTO). With these diverse applications, AI has made diagnosing orthodontic patients more convenient and accurate.

So, how does AI understand malocclusion and the diagnostic data used for orthodontic treatment? How can we develop better AIs for orthodontists? And how can orthodontists benefit from these AIs? This lecture aims to answer these questions. In addition to exploring analytical AI, the traditional method of AI research and application, we will also examine the potential of applying generative AI to orthodontic diagnosis. Furthermore, studies and cases in which AI aids in diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics will be discussed.

This lecture will empower the audience with a deeper understanding of how Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the field of orthodontics, fostering a bridge between cutting-edge technology and orthodontic expertise. Attendees will gain insights into the latest advancements in AI technology and how these innovations are paving the way for a new era in orthodontic care.
