The Next Step – from Digital to Generative AI: New Possibilities in Orthodontics
The last 20 years have seen major new developments in the digital world. It started with the worldwide web followed by the Internet, social media channels, and the cloud. This decade, artificial intelligence (AI) is the big game changer. Technologies based on AI are now increasingly finding their way into orthodontic practices. What is AI? And what is generative AI? Where is the future heading? And what new possibilities does AI offer us in our orthodontic therapy and practice and as entrepreneurs?
Diagnostics from Head to Toe
Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) and myoarthropathy of the masticatory muscles are major challenges in orthodontic practice and require both accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Modern digital technologies such as axiography and virtual articulators offer new possibilities for functional analysis and splint production. These methods enable a comprehensive assessment of the occlusal contacts of the temporomandibular joint pathways. The function of the masticatory muscles is supplemented by electromyography (EMG), which is valuable not only for diagnosis but also for monitoring splint function in order to optimise and visualise treatment precision. A spine and foot scan in relation to the occlusion completes the therapy options from head to toe.
