Automated artificial intelligence–driven 3-dimensional craniofacial superimposition for clinically useful treatment outcomes in growing patients: A multicenter study

Jun 27, 2026 by in Orthodontics Comments Off on Automated artificial intelligence–driven 3-dimensional craniofacial superimposition for clinically useful treatment outcomes in growing patients: A multicenter study
Introduction In growing patients, reliable quantification of change requires explicitly stating the reference used for superimposition and interpreting all values as relative changes; however, manual workflows are time-consuming and variable….
