Innovations in orthodontics using CBCT technology, breath analysis, genetic testing, and artificial intelligence are transforming orthodontic treatment to go beyond oral health and improve overall quality of life. CBCT imaging technology can accurately show multiple dental issues. Combined with breakthrough Diagnocat AI technology, CBCT scans provide the most precise diagnosis possible for patients by analyzing their dental and skeletal relationships and screening for airway obstructions. With this exact diagnosis, it is possible to create non-invasive treatment through mouth expansion, straightening, and uncrowding of the teeth. Expanding airways helps promote normal breathing, addresses sleep apnea, and improves overall health. Multiple clinical patients will be presented to illustrate how technology and innovation are leveraged for successful outcomes in modern orthodontics.
