AI-Powered Automation for Informed Treatment Decisions

VISION’s CBCT offering incorporates AI-powered automation, specifically trained using neural networks to identify and segment various structures in the 3D imaging data. The software’s efficiency is said to reduce the time required for data processing and minimises the need for manual input and adjustments. 

In their press release, SoftSmile assures orthodontists that the advanced AI technology provides precise segmentation and analysis, ensuring informed and accurate treatment decisions.

Advantages of CBCT Integration

The integration of CBCT into VISION offers numerous benefits to orthodontic practitioners and their patients:

1. Enhanced Customisation and Diagnosis

With access to detailed CBCT imaging data, orthodontists gain a better understanding of each patient’s craniofacial structure, including tooth roots, bone structures, and soft tissues. 

This level of insight empowers orthodontists to create more accurate and bespoke treatment plans, incorporating smart collision and boundary control capabilities. The precise diagnosis achieved through CBCT imaging leads to improved patient outcomes.

2. Better Visuals and Improved Accuracy

The detailed visuals provided by CBCT surpass the capabilities of traditional 2-dimensional CT scans, aiding orthodontists in avoiding errors and improving accuracy during treatment planning. The powerful graphics offered by VISION further enhance the overall treatment process.
