Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Digital orthodontics is here to make our specialty more efficient, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is no exception. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of a workflow involving virtual bracket removal (VBR) by AI to traditional bracket removal. A secondary objective was to compare the clinical fit of thermoplastic orthodontic retainers fabricated from 3-dimensional (3D) printed models created by each method.
