The Future of Orthodontics Is Here: AI Braces™ by SMILE-FX® Lead the Innovation
08 May 2026
Orthodontic treatment often involves uncertainty, long timelines, and frequent adjustments. Patients may begin without a clear view of the final result, which can affect confidence and decision-making.
SMILE-FX® addresses this with AI Braces™, mapping the full treatment plan from the start and providing a clear visual projection before treatment begins.
A New Standard in Orthodontic Planning
SMILE-FX® Orthodontic Studio in Miramar, Florida, introduces AI Braces™, a system for predictive treatment planning. Led by Dr. Tracy M. Liang, DDS, MS, it combines AI with 3D CBCT imaging to map treatment from the start.
Unlike traditional approaches that rely on adjustments, AI Braces™ simulates the full treatment process before brackets are placed. This creates a “digital twin” of the patient’s dentition, allowing the doctor and patient to view projected progress at key stages, including months 3 and 6, as well as the final results.
How the AI Braces™ System Works
The workflow is structured to ensure accuracy from the very beginning.
- 3D Scan Foundation: CBCT imaging captures teeth, bite, and facial structure in precise digital detail.
- AI-Driven Planning: The AI engine analyzes alignment, spacing, bite, and facial biometrics using clinical data.
- Predictive Simulation: A frame-by-frame tooth movement plan is created and reviewed by Dr. Liang.
- Precision Placement: Same-day 3D-printed trays guide accurate bracket placement.
The process supports a more controlled and consistent orthodontic treatment experience.
Faster Timelines with Data-Informed Precision
By planning treatment in advance, AI Braces™ reduces inefficiencies seen in traditional orthodontics. In the experience of SMILE-FX®, qualifying patients have achieved times as short as 4 to 6 months, compared to the typical 12 to 36 months.
The predictive model also limits mid-treatment corrections by identifying potential issues early, allowing adjustments before they affect progress and supporting a more consistent treatment process.
Remote Monitoring and Patient Convenience
SMILE-FX® incorporates the FDA-cleared DentalMonitoring app into its treatment protocol. Patients can submit scans remotely using their mobile devices, allowing the clinical team to monitor progress in real time.
This reduces the number of in-office visits while maintaining accuracy. For busy professionals, parents, and students, fewer appointments mean less disruption without compromising the quality of care.
A Shift Beyond Traditional Orthodontics
While many advancements in orthodontics have focused on appliances such as aligners or brackets, SMILE-FX® emphasizes the planning process itself. AI Braces™ is not defined by the materials used but by the intelligence behind the treatment design.
Dr. Liang explains that the focus is on precision rather than appearance or appliance type. The system is structured to enhance clinical decision-making, combining professional expertise with data-driven insights.
Expertise Behind the Innovation
Dr. Tracy M. Liang brings over a decade of specialized orthodontic training to SMILE-FX®. A graduate of Cornell University, she completed her orthodontic residency at the University of Minnesota and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
Her credentials include recognition as an Invisalign Pink Diamond Provider, the Evergreen Award for Best Orthodontic Experience & Service in South Florida in 2025, and Best Orthodontist-Led Experience by Best of Best Review.
