Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping aligner treatment by increasing speed and automation. However, greater efficiency does not automatically translate into better clinical outcomes.
In this session, we will explore how AI can enhance aligner workflows – while also examining the risks of overreliance on automated treatment setups and digital simulations. We will highlight common blind spots, biomechanical oversimplifications, and the importance of maintaining clinical judgment.
The focus is clear: AI should support the clinician, not replace critical thinking. True efficiency comes from combining technology with structured workflows, clear decision-making protocols, and strong clinical leadership.
