How is AI changing orthodontics—and what still requires the judgment of a real doctor?
In this episode of Legacy Launchers, I sit down with Dr. Sheila Luwiharto, DDS, owner of Family Tree Orthodontics in Mission Viejo, to talk about how artificial intelligence is being used in dentistry and orthodontics, what technology can and cannot replace, and why human expertise still matters when it comes to designing a healthy, confident smile.
Dr. Sheila shares her journey as a USC-trained dentist and orthodontic professional, her Indonesian roots, and what she has learned from building a patient-centered practice in Orange County.
We talk about:
✨ How AI is being used in orthodontics
✨ What an orthodontist still has to decide that software cannot
✨ How technology can improve treatment planning and efficiency
✨ The difference between automation and clinical judgment
✨ Building trust with patients in a high-tech healthcare world
✨ Entrepreneurship, leadership, and owning a dental practice
✨ The future of dentistry as AI becomes more powerful
Technology may help design the smile—but the doctor still has to understand the person wearing it.
