Objective: to analyse artificial intelligence in orthodontics and dentistry through a systematic review. Method: systematic review. Results: 15 scientific articles were reviewed. Conclusion: artificial intelligence (AI) represents a significant advance in dentistry, particularly in orthodontics, as it allows for greater diagnostic precision, optimises treatment planning and personalises clinical care. However, its implementation faces significant challenges, such as the need for more representative clinical databases, the standardisation of dental records, the adequate training of professionals and the resolution of ethical dilemmas related to data privacy and responsibility in decision-making.
