Abstract

With the advancement of digital healthcare and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the full automation of clear aligner orthodontic technology has become feasible. Significant research findings and commercial applications have emerged in areas such as intelligent diagnosis of multimodal orthodontic data, orthodontic treatment decision-making, automated generation of digital treatment plans, and remote intelligent monitoring. However, in the development and application of AI software, it is imperative to address issues related to clinical risks, target populations, and compliance with medical device software regulations. This article analyzes and summarizes the applications and challenges of AI in clear aligner orthodontic diagnosis, treatment, and production processes. Furthermore, it explores potential future trends in this field, providing valuable insights for clinical reference.

随着数字化医疗与人工智能技术的发展,无托槽隐形矫治技术实现全流程自动化已成为可能;在多模态正畸数据人工智能诊断、正畸治疗决策与数字化方案自动生成、远程智能监控等方面,已有一定的研究报道或商业应用。但人工智能软件开发和应用过程中必须关注临床风险、适用人群以及医疗器械软件合规性等问题。本文就人工智能在无托槽隐形矫治诊疗及生产流程中的应用及问题进行分析和总结,并探讨其未来的发展趋势,以供临床参考。.
