METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR EMPLOYING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN AUTOMATED ORTHODONTIC DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT PLANNING

The methods and systems generally entail the use of a server that is configured to receive patient data through a website. The methods and systems further include the use of a database that has access to (i) information derived from textbooks and scientific literature and (ii) dynamic results derived from ongoing and completed patient treatments. The methods and systems further include the operation of at least one computer program within the server, which is capable of analyzing the patient data and identifying at least one diagnosis of the orthodontic condition. The methods and systems further entail assigning a probability value to the at least one diagnosis, with the probability value representing a likelihood that the diagnosis is accurate. The methods and systems further include instructing the computer program to identify at least one treatment approach, a corrective appliance, or a combination thereof for the at least one diagnosis.
