The upcoming SEdO Mallorca 2026 congress will mark a turning point in modern dentistry. The focus will be on three technological pillars: artificial intelligence, three-dimensional diagnosis, and dental aligners. These tools promise to refine treatment precision and shorten timelines. For the patient, this translates into more effective procedures, fewer clinic visits, and consequently, a potentially lower cost. Dentistry is advancing towards an era of greater accessibility and comfort.
3D Diagnosis and AI: the tandem redefining the treatment plan 🦷
Artificial intelligence applied to diagnostic imaging allows for the analysis of intraoral scans and CBCT in seconds, identifying pathologies and planning dental movements with millimeter accuracy. Algorithms predict the evolution of treatment with aligners, adjusting forces and times in a personalized way. This integration reduces human errors and eliminates much of the manual adjustments. The result is a more predictable clinical sequence, where the software optimizes each phase, from the initial smile to the final result, minimizing mid-process surprises.
Goodbye to the drill: AI also saves you from the dentist's chat 😅
With so much technology, the only real risk is that the dentist, bored because AI does all the work, starts talking about their vacation in Mallorca while you wait with your mouth open. But fear not: the new aligners are so precise that they will reduce visits to the bare minimum. Of course, get your best pose ready for the 3D scanner, because now there's no excuse not to smile in the before-and-after photo. Dentistry is advancing, and you just have to open your mouth. Literally.
