This comprehensive review explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within contemporary orthodontic practice. The rapid evolution of computational capabilities has revolutionized diagnostic methodologies, treatment planning processes, and outcome predictions in orthodontics. This article examines current AI applications in clinical orthodontics, evaluates their efficacy compared to conventional approaches, and projects future developments in this interdisciplinary field. The synthesis of orthodontic expertise with artificial intelligence systems represents a significant paradigm shift in dental healthcare delivery, potentially enhancing treatment precision, reducing intervention duration, and improving patient experience.
