What the treatment planning process looks like from the inside. Today, we’re not discussing the use of artificial intelligence in orthodontic software. AI is already there and has been for a long time. But which parts of the planning process has technology actually taken over, and which parts still depend on the orthodontist’s judgment?

Orthodontic care depends on a combination of clinical skill, specialized instruments, diagnostic equipment, and, increasingly, digital technology. A patient's treatment might involve pliers and cutters at the chairside, a scanner that replaces the old putty impression, and planning software that maps out every stage of tooth movement before a singl

In response to a simple text command, it reads patients’ medical records, generates clinical summaries, translates records into multiple languages, automatically fills out forms, and opens the 3D treatment editor. NEW YORK, July 2026 — SoftSmile, orthodontic technology company behind the VISION treatment planning platform, announced Vis

Cloud-based practice management has moved from a novelty to the default choice for modern dental clinics. Instead of running scheduling, billing, and charting on a server in the back office, practices now handle the entire administrative day through a secure web connection.

Orthodontic X-Rays: Clinical Practice Orthodontic treatment depends on accurate diagnostics long before active tooth movement begins. Whether planning fixed appliances or aligner therapy, clinicians need a detailed understanding of root position, jaw relationships, bone support, and surrounding anatomy before building a treatment strategy. This is

Clear aligners are transforming orthodontics. These nearly invisible devices move teeth gradually and precisely, using a series of custom-fitted, transparent trays. 3D printed aligners take this further: they are designed digitally and produced through additive printing technology, either directly as the aligner itself or as precise working models
