Evaluating the Artificial Intelligence Driven Monitoring System Notifications: Clear Aligner and Oral Hygiene Perspectives.
Article in Orthodontics & craniofacial research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe widespread use of smartphones presents a remarkable opportunity for real-time management of orthodontic treatment. The development of orthodontic smartphone applications, such as Dental Monitoring (DM), epitomises the use of Artificial Intelligence Driven Remote Monitoring (AIDRM) for sophisticated image analysis. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the validity of DM's AI image analysis notification software in detecting unfavorable clinical conditions regarding clear aligner and oral hygiene concerns.
methodsTwenty-three patients undergoing clear aligner treatment with the implementation of DM were recruited for this study. To assess the validity of DM's AI image analysis software in detecting unfavourable clinical conditions, all notifications were compared to the 'gold standard' orthodontist visual exam of uploaded DM scans. A range of 533-1425 observations were assessed for identifying generalised and localised detection of clinical conditions regarding clear aligner and oral hygiene parameters. Then, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated.
resultsDental Monitoring AI image analysis software demonstrated a higher accuracy for generalised detection of clear aligner and oral hygiene parameters, while a lower accuracy was demonstrated for localised detection of stated parameters.
conclusionsDental monitoring is a viable option for clinical use in remotely monitoring clear aligner and oral hygiene parameters during clear aligner orthodontic treatment. However, the clinician should remain aware that the AI notification software has trouble identifying specific areas of clinical issues, and therefore, the monitoring is not fully automated and must be closely followed by the overseeing orthodontist.
