SmileFy launches AI Smile Designer that plans dental makeovers from a photo and scan

SmileFy, whose smile design software is used by dentists in more than 60 countries, has launched an AI Smile Designer, according to a press release.

From one facial photo and an intraoral scan, the AI checks more than a dozen facial, dental and gum measurements, including facial symmetry, midline, smile arc, tooth proportions and alignment. It flags deviations, suggests tooth-by-tooth treatments such as orthodontic alignment, enamel reshaping or veneers, and builds a 3D smile design directly on the scan.

The dentist reviews the findings, picks the treatment and can instruct the AI assistant to adjust tooth shapes and positions. Designs can be shown to patients on their own face during a first consultation or exported for 3D printing of mock-ups, temporaries and veneers. SmileFy says the workflow needs no installation or CAD skills, replacing manual design work that conventional smile design software requires.
