Katherine E. Pfaff
Weiyun AI & Robotics Group has launched Venus 1.0, its new AI Smile Orthodontic Smart Alignment system that purports to analyze and complete alignment treatment planning in 1 minute. The new technology uses AI and deep learning to complete planning. Using SaaS and APP technology, the system can create a virtual model within 30 second and a plan for aligning teeth in 1 minute.
About 1.2 million treatment cases in China were utilized to train the AI system. Called AI Smile Orthodontic Accurate Smart Alignment System, the program can now recognize gingival margin lines, teeth segmentation, and how to utilize this information along with unique tooth features to create a design for the dental arch and alignment of teeth.
The first of its kind, according to the company based in Shanghai, the treatment planning system is intended to speed care and improve patient experience by avoiding molds or planning and adjusting treatment along the way. Through deep learning, the planning system is expected to offer greater accuracy in steps required along the treatment path compared to traditional methods.
"Venus 1.0’s adoption of artificial intelligence and biological simulation core technology, targeted to the analysis of current user dental arch and craniofacial morphology, assists doctors with the intelligent dynamic solution to be closer to the patients' demands and aesthetic preferences. It has the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency and high individuation,” said Professor Pan in the orthodontic department of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, the national center for clinical research in oral disease.
