AI vs WI: The New Intelligence Orthodontics Needs
Dec 27, 2025
Published in the British Orthodontic Society’s BOS News magazine, Dr Rana Al-Falaki - Founder of NAIL-IT in Dentistry and BREATHE Dental Wellness challenges the profession to expand its definition of intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming orthodontics through precision and predictive planning, but Wellbeing Intelligence (WI) is transforming the people who deliver it.
WI is the human operating system behind sustainable performance - the ability to recognise, regulate, and replenish your energy so you can lead effectively and thrive.
In the article, Rana explores:
-
How perfectionism and pressure contribute to rising burnout.
-
The organisational and financial cost of ignoring wellbeing.
-
The NAIL-IT Leadership Framework (Needs, Attitude, Integrity, Limitless, Intuition, Tangibility) as a blueprint for lasting success.
-
Practical wellbeing strategies - from energy audits and micro-recovery to gratitude and redefining success.
“As AI revolutionises orthodontics, let WI revolutionise the way you lead it.” – Dr Rana Al-Falaki
The feature calls on orthodontic professionals to see wellbeing not as a luxury but as leadership in action - essential to patient outcomes, team performance, and professional longevity.
