The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger

Imagine treating complex cases faster and more accurately - without the guesswork. That's exactly what Dr. Jean Marc Retrouvey is doing by merging digital orthodontics with groundbreaking research.

In this episode, Dr. Retrouvey shares how he's using AI and digital tools to treat rare bone diseases like osteogenesis imperfecta. His career journey spans teaching across continents and working on research that’s changing lives.

Dr. Retrouvey believes these tools should be fundamental knowledge, and he's here to share how they are already transforming the way orthodontists plan and treat cases.

AI-powered systems are helping predict treatment outcomes and assist in complex case planning. This doesn’t just save time—it improves the precision of treatments.

But AI isn’t without its limitations. While AI can align teeth based on thousands of past cases, it still struggles with personalized elements like facial aesthetics.

Beyond the academic world, Dr. Retrouvey opens up about his love for fast cars and motorcycles, sharing stories of racing and adventure that balance his professional life.
