Digital dentistry, initiated in 1973 by Professor François Duret, has evolved considerably in orthodontics, through the use of digital flow and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies enable accurate diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. AI has greatly improved the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics, with increasing applications due to advances in algorithms, processing and data availability. Objective: Evaluate AI applications for diagnosis, orthodontic treatment planning and improving patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The integration of AI into orthodontics has significantly transformed the way treatment is diagnosed, planned and administered, offering notable advantages in terms of precision and efficiency. However, its use presents challenges, such as the need for specialized training, prior professional experience to determine reference standards and the integration of these technologies into clinical practice. As technology continues to advance, the tools used will be improved and the current limitations overcome.   Introducción: La odontología digital, iniciada en 1973 por el profesor François Duret, ha evolucionado considerablemente en ortodoncia, mediante el uso del flujo digital y la inteligencia artificial (IA). Estas tecnologías permiten un diagnóstico, pronóstico y tratamiento precisos. La IA ha mejorado enormemente la eficacia del diagnóstico y la planificación del tratamiento en ortodoncia, con aplicaciones cada vez mayores gracias a los avances en algoritmos, procesamiento y disponibilidad de datos. Objetivo: Evaluar las aplicaciones de IA para el diagnóstico, la planificación del tratamiento de ortodoncia y la mejora de la satisfacción del paciente. Conclusión: La integración de la IA en la ortodoncia ha transformado significativamente la forma de diagnosticar, planificar y administrar el tratamiento, ofreciendo notables ventajas en términos de precisión y eficiencia. Sin embargo, su uso presenta retos, como la necesidad de formación especializada, experiencia profesional previa para determinar estándares de referencia y la integración de estas tecnologías en la práctica clínica. A medida que la tecnología siga avanzando, se mejorarán las herramientas utilizadas y se superarán las limitaciones actuales.   Digital dentistry, initiated in 1973 by Professor François Duret, has evolved considerably in orthodontics, through the use of digital flow and artificial intelligence (AI).
