Abstract

This community service program aimed to implement a digital orthodontic screening system for early detection of malocclusion in elementary school children in Kediri Regency. The program was conducted in 12 elementary schools with a total of 1,200 children aged 6-12 years over a 6-month period. Digital screening utilized smartphone-based photography with AI- assisted analysis for malocclusion detection, supplemented by basic oral health education. The screening protocol included intraoral photography, digital analysis using custom-developed AI software, and immediate result generation with referral recommendations. Results showed that 68.5% of children had some degree of malocclusion, with Class II Division 1 being the most prevalent (32.4%). The digital screening system demonstrated 91.2% sensitivity and 87.8% specificity compared to clinical examination by orthodontist. Additionally, 89.3% of parents reported improved awareness of orthodontic problems after the program. In conclusion, the digital orthodontic screening program successfully provided accessible early detection services to the community while raising awareness about the importance of orthodontic treatment timing.
