Unlocking the Future of Orthodontics with Artificial Intelligence
As the world of dentistry evolves, so does the field of orthodontics. Traditional treatment planning methods are giving way to a new era—Orthodontics 2.0, where cutting-edge technologies meet clinical excellence. At the forefront of this revolution lies Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), reshaping how orthodontists approach patient care.

The Rise of AI in Orthodontics
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Imagine an AI-powered system that analyses patient records, radiographs, and 3D scans in seconds. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are leading the charge, accurately identifying orthodontic conditions and suggesting personalised treatment plans. Dentists can now make informed decisions based on data-driven insights, optimising outcomes for their patients.

Automated Anatomic Landmark Detection
Gone are the days of manual measurements and tedious landmark identification. AI algorithms swiftly pinpoint critical anatomical landmarks, streamlining cephalometric analyses and reducing human error. Dentists can focus on interpreting results rather than spending hours on measurements.
Growth and Development Assessment
AI models track facial growth patterns, predict future changes, and guide treatment timing. Whether it’s interceptive orthodontics for children or adult cases, machine learning algorithms adapt to individual patient profiles, ensuring precise interventions.

Why Dentists Should Enrol in the Graduate Diploma of Digital Orthodontic Treatments
Stay Ahead of the Curve
Orthodontics 2.0 is not a distant dream—it’s happening now. By enrolling in the 10905NAT Graduate Diploma of Digital Orthodontic Treatments, dentists gain a competitive edge. They learn to harness AI and ML tools effectively, enhancing their practice and patient outcomes.
Clinical Efficiency
AI accelerates diagnosis, treatment planning, and case assessment. Dentists equipped with these skills can provide faster, more accurate care, improving patient satisfaction and practice efficiency.
Evidence-Based Decision-Making
The diploma programme emphasises research and evidence-based practices. Dentists learn to critically evaluate AI algorithms, ensuring they align with clinical guidelines and ethical standards.
Collaboration with Specialists
Dentists trained in Orthodontics 2.0 can collaborate seamlessly with orthodontists and other specialists. They bridge the gap between technology and patient care, fostering interdisciplinary teamwork.

Future-Proof Your Career
AI is here to stay. Dentists who embrace Orthodontics 2.0 position themselves as forward-thinking professionals. They adapt to industry shifts, making their practices resilient and relevant.
Orthodontics 2.0 is not science fiction, it’s a reality reshaping the dental landscape. The Graduate Diploma of Digital Orthodontic Treatments equips dentists with the tools they need to thrive in this transformative era.

What People Are Saying

  • I completed the BOSS UK Diploma in 2021 and when it became available, signed up for the AU course as well. I completed the AU course at the end of last year and can honestly say BOSS (now Digital Orthodontic College) has completely changed my approach to clear aligner treatments and increased my confidence with treatment planning immensely. The fact that the course is 100% online was a huge drawcard for me initially since I have two young children, work clinically part-time and run my own business. It allowed me the flexibility to study when I had the chance and didn’t result in any loss of clinical time. Dr V is extremely passionate about orthodontics and more importantly sharing her wisdom and that comes through in her approach to teaching. The course is extremely comprehensive (NB: the AU course has quite a few complex assessments) and covers everything starting from the basics of tooth movement, which sets a good foundation and is therefore suitable even for beginners. The monthly/bimonthly webinars allow students to share cases and is a safe space, non-judgmental and therefore an incredible learning platform. I had been doing clear aligner treatments prior to starting this course, but BOSS helped me see patients with new eyes and has overhauled my treatment planning approach. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone interested in learning, or to extend their knowledge about, clear aligner treatments.

    Thank you so much Dr V!

  • The Australian accredited 10905NAT Graduate Diploma of Digital Orthodontic Treatment offers comprehensive training in the field, gives the candidate the opportunity to do things in a self-paced manner, while getting a personalised 1-on-1 learning experience with Dr Vandana Katyal. It was an excellent choice for me and gave me the flexibility to get the well-designed training done in my own time frame. I would strongly recommend the course to any practitioners who is looking to upskill themselves with a no-compromise high quality course, while also having to juggle between busy practices and family schedules.

    Dr Charles Sun, Dentist WA
  • I started this course unsure of how much I would benefit. The in-person lectures were fantastic (although the course is now 100% online) where I made good friends and learned a lot. The online resources are extensive and second to none, accessible at your convenience. The webinars were great – usually with the right mix of teaching, cases demonstrated and the attendees’ cases being discussed. I was also invited to deliver a webinar on intra-oral scanners, 3D printers and in house aligner manufacturing (from a dentist’s point of view) – which I enjoyed.
    Most of all the course gave significantly more confidence what can be done with aligners, how plan the setup efficiently with the end in mind and how to make the processes to get there smoother. As a result, a MUCH larger chunk of my work is now aligner based. My conversion rate for aligner treatments has definitely increased along with my confidence. The course has easily paid for itself. Full disclosure: I was invited to deliver a webinar on intra-oral scanners, 3D printers and in house aligner manufacture to my BOSS batch mates, which I also thoroughly enjoyed doing. I declined any remuneration for this, although it was offered.

  • Since I have joined the postgraduate diploma in orthodontics I have noticed all the applied practical learning/knowledge on my patients and I am only half way through the year. Dr Vandana is a genuine educator. She goes way beyond to simplify every lecture and I really like her evidence based information and that is available for us 24/7. Her webinars helped a lot for busy dentists and loved the feedback we get in the one on one sessions with our cases. It make us think every step of the way. But the best thing I like is to see she is giving back to the community and her association with Smile Train in helping children with cleft palate is just beyond words. Thank you so much for being nice and approachable.

    Dr Claudia Braybon, Dentist NSW
  • Received my Diploma in Digital Orthodontics from BOSS and couldn’t be more stoked! Huge shout out to Dr Vandana Katyal and the BOSS team for a wonderful year. I would recommend BOSS to every dentist no matter their level of experience with Orthodontics and clear aligners. Starting off with barely any orthodontic experience, I have commenced about 9 cases in the matter of months and BOSS gave me the confidence to predictably deliver results for my patients through clear aligners which are the future of modern orthodontics.
    Dr Sarang Sathe, Dentist NSW

  • I chose Boss’s clear aligner diploma because I wanted to know the latest evidence based practice to enhance my treatment planning and case execution. I now have a much better understanding of how to diagnose, what movements can be done and what will get me into trouble. The flexible nature of the course delivery also fit perfectly into full time work and my otherwise packed schedule. The monthly case presentation webinars are also great to not only get feedback from Dr Katyal, but also to validate your own thoughts self-assess and see how you are tracking with your learning.
