aceRemote Monitoring or Autonomous Triage: Can Artificial Intelligence Safely Decide When Orthodontic Patients Need In-Person Care?
Aim and objectives: To examine the diagnostic scope, accuracy and limitations of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based remote orthodontic monitoring for automated triage and to assess whether such systems can safely decide when orthodontic patients need in-person care. Methods: Narrative review of PubMed literature on AI-driven remote monitoring and tele-orthodontics, focusing on diagnostic performance, triage applications and the limitations relevant to distinguishing routine virtual review from urgent in-person c…
AI detects visually obvious orthodontic conditions with high specificity, and early triage trials show faster screening.
AI sensitivity is variable and often low for periodontal changes and tooth-level tracking, so it cannot yet safely decide alone when patients need in-person care.
The work is a narrative review of existing literature rather than a new trial, and the evidence it summarizes is limited by single-center models and early-stage triage trials.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2261 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
