Additionally, precise scanning procedures are necessary for the proper detection of lingual side attachments and auxiliaries, which can be challenging to control. Despite these challenges, DM has been shown to be a valuable tool in improving orthodontic treatment outcomes. However, there are limitations, such as difficulty in accurately assessing hygiene due to the reliance on light intensity and the potential misperception of healthy gingiva as inflamed. The integration of AI in dental clinics has the potential to revolutionize the way dental assistants work by automating tasks such as scheduling appointments, taking patient histories, and providing patient education. Furthermore, AI can be utilized to analyze patient data and create more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans, as well as improve the accuracy of dental procedures such as the detection of cavities and the creation of more detailed images of teeth and gums. Additionally, AI can be used to enhance the patient experience by using chatbots to answer questions and provide personalized advice. The clinical penetration of these technologies has been accelerated by the global COVID-19 pandemic and technological breakthroughs in AI and personal smartphones. The future of AI in dentistry is promising and holds significant potential for improving both the efficiency and effectiveness of dental treatment. The integration of AI in orthodontic practice is changing the role of dental nurses in several ways:  
1. Automation of tasks: AI can automate tasks that dental nurses currently perform, such as scheduling appointments, taking patient histories, and providing patient education. This can free up time for dental nurses to focus on more complex tasks or to interact with patients in a more meaningful way;
2. Improved accuracy: AI can be used not only to analyze patient data or create more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. It can also predict complications, keep an eye on allergies, or provide a nonstop monitor and alert system in harmony with telehealth solutions. This can lead to improved patient outcomes and increased efficiency in the clinic;
3. Personalized treatment plans and communication: AI can be used to create personalized treatment plans based on a patient's individual needs and perform more personalized communication depending on patient individuality and shown communication preferences. This can lead to better patient outcomes and increased patient satisfaction;
4. Improved patient experience: AI-powered chatbots that will be learning from nurses' answers to patient questions will provide personalized advice;
5. The combination of telemedicine and AI provides software solutions for orthodontic treatment that allow some parts of orthodontic treatment to be performed in locations other than the dental office. This can lead to further disruption of established clinical care workflows. In general, the use of AI-powered telemedicine solutions in dentistry has transformed the work of dental assistants by making them more efficient and accurate and allowing them to focus on more complex tasks and patient interactions. One such more complex task that requires a combination of clinical interaction, reasoning, and physical intervention can be considered the personalization of treatment in terms of personalized orthodontic appliances. In the past, it was unthinkable that some procedures could be performed without the complex theoretical knowledge and manual skills of laboratory technicians. In the near future, many boundaries will fall, and AI algorithms will allow nurses and dental assistants to participate in procedures previously reserved for highly specialized technicians, such as CBCT AI segmentations or AI processing of intraoral scans to prepare designs for individualized appliances in preparation for the orthodontist. For example, the design of 3D-printed personalized composite appliances can be semi-automated, and the role of nurses and dental assistants can become much more universal with AI empowerment [4; 44; 45; 46].
