Correcting skeletal Class II malocclusions in growing patients has traditionally required a trade-off between clinical efficiency and patient compliance.

SoftSmile has introduced Vision Forecast, an artificial intelligence-powered module for its VISION Portal intended to help orthodontists evaluate case complexity, compare treatment strategies, and estimate treatment duration. The software analyzes initial clinical data to generate summaries and display similar historical cases, aiming to streamline early consultations and patient communication.
