Optimizing Orthodontic Appliances Efficiency With Remote Dental Monitoring and Artificial Intelligence Algorithms

This study is looking at how well clear aligners work when combined with a remote dental monitoring system called Dental Monitoring™ (DM™). DM™ uses artificial intelligence to help orthodontists track your teeth movement from a distance. The goal is to see if this technology can make aligner treatment more efficient by guiding when you should change your aligners. Researchers will measure how many aligner trays are completed correctly, and how many extra aligners or adjustments are needed over 6 to 30 months. You may be able to join if you are between 12 and 70 years old, need clear aligner treatment for misaligned teeth (malocclusion), and have more than 20 aligners planned. The study is currently recruiting 12 participants.
