What is AI dentistry?

AI dentistry uses intelligent digital tools to analyse photos, track tooth movement and support clinical decision‑making.

‍

At Toothfairy, AI works alongside your dentist, never replacing them — to make treatment:

• more accurate
• more accessible
• more convenient
• more technology‑driven
• more on‑demand

‍

It’s a modern approach to straightening teeth that fits around real life.

‍

How Toothfairy uses AI to track your treatment

1. Weekly photo analysis

You upload photos through the app every week.AI tools help identify:

• aligner fit
• tooth movement
• gum changes
• pressure points
• early signs of tracking issues

‍

This gives your dentist a clear, consistent view of your progress.

2. Movement prediction

AI compares your photos to your digital treatment plan, checking whether teeth are moving as expected.

3. Fit accuracy checks

AI highlights areas where aligners may not be seating properly, helping dentists intervene early.

4. Gum health monitoring

Subtle changes in gum colour or inflammation can be flagged for review.

5. Treatment optimisation

AI helps dentists decide:

• whether to continue
• whether to adjust wear time
• whether refinements are needed
• whether extra photos are required

‍

This makes treatment safer and more predictable.
