Abstract
Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an important tool in healthcare, including orthodontics, due to its potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimize treatment planning, and improve patient care. In Saudi Arabia, the adoption of AI in orthodontics is gaining interest, but its integration remains in the early stages. This study investigates the current use of AI in orthodontic practice in Saudi Arabia, exploring its benefits, challenges, and future potential. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 120 orthodontists practicing in Saudi Arabia. The survey collected data on the types of AI tools used, the frequency of usage, perceived benefits, challenges, and future outlook on AI in orthodontics. A literature review was also conducted to examine global trends and to contextualize the findings. Results: The results revealed that AI tools are primarily used for diagnostic purposes (65%), treatment planning (55%), and virtual simulations (50%). However, the usage frequency varied, with 25% of respondents using AI tools daily. The key benefits identified included improved diagnostic accuracy (78%), increased treatment efficiency (70%), and enhanced patient outcomes (65%). Major challenges included high initial costs (72%), lack of training (68%), and concerns regarding data privacy (60%).
