%X Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping modern orthodontics by enabling highly tailored treatment approaches that improve efficiency and accuracy. This review presents current applications of AI in the field, including predicting patterns of tooth movement, creating individualized aligners, shortening overall treatment timelines, and supporting remote patient monitoring. By leveraging extensive dental datasets such as 3D scans, radiographs, and clinical records, AI can generate treatment strategies specifically adapted to each patient, enhancing both clinical effectiveness and satisfaction. Devices guided by AI are designed to apply precise forces to teeth, reducing discomfort and therapy duration. Additionally, AI-enabled monitoring platforms allow patients to track progress remotely, lowering the need for frequent office visits and increasing accessibility to care. Emerging directions include the use of AI-integrated robotic systems for orthodontic procedures, predictive models for early interventions, and on-demand fabrication of appliances through 3D printing. Challenges such as safeguarding patient data, mitigating algorithmic bias, and managing the costs of AI implementation remain. Nonetheless, ongoing advancements in AI are expected to streamline orthodontic care, making treatments more precise, patient-centered, and efficient. This review highlights the transformative potential of AI in improving orthodontic outcomes.
