Stop Guessing Your Smile: Why AI Braces™ by SMILE‑FX™ Is The Future Of Orthodontics In 2026

What AI Braces™ Actually Means Inside Our Studio

Direct Answer: AI Braces™ by SMILE‑FX is a digital orthodontic system where artificial intelligence analyzes 3D scans to simulate thousands of tooth movement paths, allowing a Board Certified Orthodontist to select the most efficient route to a healthy, aligned smile before treatment begins.

AI is not a robot tightening your wires. It is the engine behind the scenes. We capture a high-definition 3D optical scan of your entire mouth using iTero or Trios scanners. No goop. No gagging. Just a wand that captures 6,000 images per second. That scan becomes your digital twin. The AI algorithms then crunch data on root angulation, bone density estimates, and arch width to map the exact path each tooth should travel. Our doctors review every simulation and make the final call. The machine proposes. The human with 15 years of clinical experience disposes.

Traditional braces were reactive. You came in every 4 weeks. The doctor looked. The wire got tweaked. You hoped. With the SMILE‑FX AI Braces™ System, we know the destination before we start the engine. That proactive approach cuts out unnecessary tooth movements, which often means fewer emergency visits for poking wires and a more comfortable experience overall. In my practice, I have seen treatment sequences that used to require 18 months trimmed down by 20 to 25 percent simply because we eliminated the back-and-forth adjustments.

The South Florida Reality: Why Precision Matters Here

Our humidity is no joke. South Florida consistently hovers above 60 percent ambient moisture, and that creates real clinical challenges. Bonding brackets in a humid environment requires specific protocols. At SMILE‑FX, we use HEMA-free universal adhesives and vacuum-assisted isolation systems to ensure each bracket cures properly the first time. Cheaper practices skip this step and wonder why brackets pop off. We do not skip steps.

Then there is the lifestyle factor. Miami and Broward are image-conscious markets. Our adult patients are real estate agents, attorneys, and entrepreneurs who cannot afford 2 years of metal-mouth photos. That is why so many of them choose our AI-optimized ceramic braces or clear aligner combinations. The AI planning lets us show them a digital render of their smile before we start. They see the "Miami Glow Up" on screen, and that visual confirmation builds trust. It is not marketing fluff. It is math.

Step-by-Step: How the Workflow Actually Works

This is not theory. This is our cutting-edge technology workflow running live in our Miramar studio every single day. When patients ask me what separates us from the strip-mall ortho chain down the street, I point to this table. The chain still does manual bracket placement. We do not.

AI Braces vs. Clear Aligners vs. Old-School Braces

Direct Answer: AI Braces combine the 24/7 tooth-moving power of fixed brackets with the digital planning precision usually reserved for high-end clear aligners, giving patients the best of both worlds without the compliance demands of removable trays.

Clear aligners work. I prescribe them all the time through our clear aligner program. But they demand discipline. Twenty-two hours a day of wear. No exceptions. Miss the mark and your treatment stalls. AI Braces remove that variable. The appliance is always working. For teenagers who lose everything and adults who forget everything, built-in compliance is a game changer.

Old-school braces rely on the doctor manually positioning each bracket by eye. Even the best orthodontist is working within a 1 to 2 millimeter margin of error. Multiply that across 28 teeth and the cumulative drift is real. Our braces use the AI plan and indirect bonding trays to hit placement within 0.1 millimeters of the target. That is the difference between a 14-month treatment and a 22-month treatment. It is also the difference between a comfortable experience and one filled with unnecessary adjustments.

2026 South Florida Orthodontic Pricing Matrix

These numbers are real. We accept Florida Blue PPO, Delta Dental of Florida, and most major carriers. Our team verifies your benefits before you commit to anything. And because we comply with SB 1808, any overpayment gets refunded within 30 days via automated ledger auditing. No chasing us for your money. No awkward phone calls. Just transparency baked into the system.

Clinical Warning Signs for Age 7 Screenings

Parents in Weston, Pinecrest, and Cooper City often ask me why we push for a screening at age 7. The answer is simple. By age 7, the first permanent molars are in. We can see the arch shape, predict crowding, and catch airway issues before they become surgical problems. Waiting until age 13 means missing the window for growth-guided intervention. Our Board Certified Orthodontist has caught dozens of cases where early AI screening prevented what would have been a complex surgical case later.

Treatment Timeline vs. Office Visit Frequency

For professionals commuting on I-95 or the Palmetto Expressway, reducing office visits by 30 to 40 percent is not a luxury. It is a necessity. Our remote monitoring tools let you check in from your phone. We review your scans. We tell you if everything is on track. You only drive to our Miramar orthodontic studio when a physical adjustment is actually needed. That alone has been the deciding factor for dozens of our adult patients who were on the fence about starting treatment.

Who AI Braces™ Are For (And Who They Are Not For)

AI Braces work for kids, teenagers, and adults. I have treated a 9-year-old with severe crowding and a 52-year-old real estate broker who needed a "Soft Glam" smile upgrade before her daughter's wedding. The system adapts. What changes is the clinical strategy, not the technology backbone.

These braces are ideal for complex rotations, deep bites, and cases where aligner compliance is a real concern. If your teenager loses their phone twice a month, they will lose their aligners twice a week. AI Braces solve that problem by being fixed to the teeth. They are also excellent for patients with TMJ discomfort or airway concerns because the AI simulation accounts for joint position and arch development in ways manual planning cannot.

They are not the best option for someone who wants completely invisible treatment and has the discipline to wear aligners 22 hours a day. For those patients, I guide them toward our clear aligner solutions. Every patient gets an honest recommendation based on their life, their goals, and their biology. No cookie-cutter plans.

Questions I Would Ask If I Were In Your Shoes

If I were sitting across from an orthodontist evaluating AI Braces, here is what I would want to know:

• Can I see the 3D simulation of my smile before I say yes? (Answer: Yes. That is standard in our practice.)
• How do you handle emergencies if I am traveling? (Answer: Remote monitoring plus a network of trusted colleagues nationwide.)
• Is the price locked in or will there be surprise fees? (Answer: Our contracts are transparent. SB 1808 compliance means automated refunds if an overpayment occurs.)
• What happens if a bracket pops off? (Answer: With our humidity-aware bonding protocol using HEMA-free adhesives, bracket failure is rare. But if it happens, we get you in fast.)
• How many of these cases have you personally completed? (Answer: Hundreds. And our patient reviews tell the story.)

What The First 72 Hours Actually Feels Like

Direct Answer: The first 72 hours with AI Braces involve mild pressure sensitivity rather than sharp pain, and our indirect bonding technique means fewer soft tissue irritations compared to traditional bracket placement.

Let me be blunt. Your teeth will feel weird. Not broken. Not sharp. Just present in a way they have never been present before. The AI planned every bracket position to within 0.1 millimeters, so the initial forces are distributed evenly across your arch. That means pressure, not pain. Most of our patients take Tylenol the first night and are eating scrambled eggs by morning.

What surprises people is the tongue. Your tongue will explore the brackets for about three days like it is mapping new terrain. After that, your brain adapts and stops registering the hardware. I tell every patient the same thing during their bonding appointment at our Miramar orthodontic studio. "Give me 72 hours. If something still feels sharp or wrong after that, I want to know." Nine times out of ten, I never get the call.

The humidity factor we deal with in South Florida also works in your favor during healing. The constant ambient moisture actually helps soft tissue adapt faster. Less cracking. Less irritation. But it also means you need to stay on top of hygiene. More on that in a second.

Eating, Drinking, and Living Your Actual Life

Direct Answer: With AI Braces you can eat most foods by cutting hard items into small pieces and avoiding sticky candies, but the real advantage over clear aligners is never having to remove anything before a meal.

I live in South Florida. I know what a croqueta is. I know what pastelitos taste like at 10 AM on a Saturday. Telling a Miami patient they can never eat those things again is not realistic and it is not necessary. Here is the real list of what changes.

Hard things need to be cut. Apples, baguettes, chicharrones. Slice them thin. Your brackets are strong but they are not indestructible. Sticky things like Jolly Ranchers, caramel, and gum are off the table entirely. Not because they will ruin your treatment, but because they will yank a bracket off and you will be back in my chair getting it re-bonded. With our HEMA-free universal adhesives and humidity-aware curing protocol, bracket failure is rare. But it is not an excuse to test the limits.

The hidden win nobody talks about is snacking. Clear aligner patients have to remove trays, eat, brush, and reinsert. That friction kills compliance. AI Braces patients just eat. Then brush. The appliance never comes off. For the entrepreneur grabbing a protein bar between meetings or the college student pulling an all-nighter, that built-in compliance is worth more than any simulation software.

I tell parents of teenagers this constantly. Your kid will forget to put aligners back in. They will not forget their teeth are moving. The braces do the work while they live their life. That is the entire thesis behind why I recommend fixed appliances for certain cases.

Hygiene Routines That Actually Work In South Florida

Direct Answer: AIM Braces hygiene requires a water flosser, interdental brushes, and fluoride mouthwash used consistently, especially in humid climates where bacterial growth accelerates.

I am going to say something that might annoy some dentists. Floss threaders are a waste of time for most people. I have watched patients spend twenty minutes threading floss between brackets and still miss half their plaque. Use a water flosser. Point. Spray. Done. Pair that with an electric toothbrush and a fluoride mouthwash, and you are covering more ground in five minutes than most people do in thirty.

South Florida adds a wrinkle here. Our humidity means bacterial colonies grow faster in the mouth. I see it in the data. Patients who brush twice a day in drier climates get away with it. Here, the same routine can lead to white spot lesions around brackets within weeks. So I tell every patient the same thing. Brush after breakfast. Brush after lunch. Brush before bed. Water flosser at night minimum. If you are going to invest in your smile, protect the asset while it is being built.

We stock hygiene kits in our Miramar office for every patient who starts treatment. Travel toothbrush, interdental picks, wax, and a mirror. Costs me a few bucks. Saves you a cavity. Worth it every single time.

The Emotional Timeline Nobody Maps Out

Direct Answer: Most AI Braces patients experience excitement at bonding, mild regret at day 3, adaptation by week 2, visible changes by month 2, and genuine confidence by month 4, and understanding this emotional curve reduces anxiety dramatically.

Week one you will wonder why you did this. Everyone does. The pressure, the newness, the feeling that you made a mistake. That is normal. By week two your brain has accepted the hardware and the pressure fades to background noise. By month two you will see a gap closing or a tooth that used to hide suddenly standing in line. That moment, the first time you notice it in a mirror or a photo, is when everything shifts.

I have treated a 14-year-old who cried at her bonding appointment because she hated how the metal looked. Four months later she was taking selfies and laughing with her mouth wide open. The teeth changed. Her face changed. But what really changed was how she felt about being seen. That is not dental jargon. That is real life.

Adults go through a different arc. The professional who gives presentations, the real estate agent on camera, the teacher commanding a classroom. They need to know they still look competent while their teeth are moving. Our treatable cases include ceramic brackets that make the process far less visible than people expect. And the AI simulation we show before we even start gives them a clear picture of where they are headed. That visual proof cuts the anxiety in half before it ever kicks in.

How The AI Keeps Working Between Visits

Direct Answer: The AI Braces system uses remote monitoring scans sent from your phone to track tooth movement between office visits, flagging deviations from the predicted path so adjustments happen only when needed.

Traditional braces run on a calendar. Every four weeks. Crank the wire. Hope for the best. AI Braces run on data. You send us a scan from your phone using the monitoring app. Our software compares your current tooth positions against the AI simulation. If everything is tracking on schedule, you skip the visit. If something drifts, we catch it early and bring you in for a targeted adjustment.

This is not a gimmick. I have caught patients developing posterior open bites from tongue thrust habits within ten days of it starting. Ten days. In a traditional model, that would have festered for four weeks until the next scheduled appointment. By then the wires would have needed a full repositioning. Instead, we fixed it in one short visit. That is the practical difference AI makes. Not just planning. Active supervision.

For the commuters on I-95, the parents juggling three kids, and the professionals who bill by the hour, this remote monitoring platform means fewer half-days wasted in a waiting room. Our cutting-edge technology stack was built for this exact use case. Treat smarter, not more frequently.

After The Braces Come Off: Retention Reality

Direct Answer: After AI Braces removal, retention involves custom 3D-printed or clear retainers worn nightly, with the same AI software analyzing final occlusion to design retainers that preserve the exact finished position.

Teeth have memory. They want to go back to where they were. The periodontal ligament fibers that held your teeth in their old position take months to reorganize. If you stop wearing your retainer, those fibers will pull your teeth right back. I have seen a beautiful 14-month case unravel in six months because someone left their retainer in a hotel bathroom.

At SMILE‑FX, we take a final 3D scan the day your braces come off. That scan becomes the blueprint for your retainers. We do not just order a generic set. The AI reviews your final occlusion, identifies which teeth are at highest risk of relapse based on your original malocclusion pattern, and ensures the retainer design applies targeted containment where it matters most.

You wear them every night for the first year. After that, most patients drop to three to five nights a week. But the rule is simple. If the retainer feels tight when you put it in, you skipped too many nights. Your teeth should never hurt from a retainer. If they do, wear it more often until it slides in without resistance. That is your canary in the coal mine.

Real Questions I Get From Parents And Adults Every Week

Can my child play sports with AI Braces? Yes. Buy a mouthguard. Not the boil-and-bite kind from the drugstore. A proper orthodontic mouthguard that fits over the brackets. We can help you get one fitted at our patient resources center.

Will I talk differently? For about three days. Your tongue adapts. Sing in the car. Read out loud. The lisp fades fast.

Does the AI simulation guarantee those results? The simulation is a prediction based on physics and biology. Your body still has to cooperate. What the AI does is remove the guesswork from my end. The wires follow the plan. The teeth follow the wires. If something drifts, we adjust. But the starting point is ten times more precise than manual bracket placement. That narrows the gap between prediction and reality significantly.

What if I move out of state during treatment? We handle transfers. Your AI treatment plan is portable. We coordinate with a trusted colleague in your new city and send your digital file. No lost records. No starting over.

Why Adults Are Finally Saying Yes To Braces In 2026

I saw a shift around 2023. Adults stopped apologizing for wanting braces. Remote work meant they could start treatment without facing an office full of coworkers on day one. By the time they were back in person, they were already seeing results. Confidence had replaced self-consciousness.

The aesthetic options help. Ceramic brackets. Champagne gold wires. Clear aligner hybrids. But the real driver is this. Adults finally believe the timeline. When I show a 38-year-old attorney a 3D simulation of her smile at month 10, and she sees the progression mapped out with actual data behind it, she stops seeing braces as a gamble and starts seeing them as a project with a finish line. That is a psychological shift AI made possible.

Our how we are different page explains this philosophy. We do not sell orthodontics. We sell certainty. The brackets and wires are just the delivery mechanism.

See Your Own Smile Before You Commit To Anything

You read about Marcus at the top. He walked in unsure and walked out three months later forgetting he even had braces. That can be you. But you have to take the first step. Walk into our Miramar studio. Sit in the chair. Let us scan your teeth. Watch your own 3D simulation appear on the screen. No pressure. No commitment. Just clarity.

SMILE‑FX is the AI Braces™ System leader for kids, teenagers, and adults across Broward and Miami-Dade counties. We are the practice other dentists send their own families to. That reputation was not bought. It was built one patient at a time.

SureSmile, 3D Printing, and the Death of Manual Bracket Placement

Direct Answer: SMILE-FX combines SureSmile orthodontic software with in-house 3D-printed indirect bonding trays to place brackets within 0.1 millimeter accuracy, eliminating the 1 to 2 millimeter error margin of freehand placement that causes treatment drag.

When patients search for a SureSmile Orthodontist South Florida, they are usually looking for faster treatment. What they do not realize is that the software alone is just one leg of the stool. You need three things working together. You need the AI simulation engine that maps tooth movement paths. You need the 3D printer that produces the bonding tray from that simulation. And you need the clinical experience to know when the simulation is wrong.

I have seen the SureSmile output suggest a movement path that looked perfect on screen but would have flattened a patient's lip profile. The software does not understand facial aesthetics. It understands math. I override maybe 15 percent of what the AI proposes because I know what a face should look like when the teeth are done moving. That is the difference between a Board Certified Orthodontist South Florida running the system and a general dentist who bought the software and hopes for the best.

Our cutting-edge technology page breaks down the full stack. But the thing I want you to take away is this. The 3D-printed indirect bonding tray is where precision becomes real. The tray seats over your teeth like a glove. Every bracket slot is pre-positioned. We cure them all simultaneously under isolation. No freehand guessing. No "close enough." The result is a biomechanical start that is already 90 percent of the way to correct before the first wire goes in.

What Being a Top Rated Orthodontist Near Me Actually Means

Direct Answer: A top rated orthodontist is not defined by marketing spend but by board certification status, volume of complex cases completed, and verifiable patient outcomes measured through post-treatment 3D scans.

Anyone can buy Google ads. Anyone can claim to be the #1 Orthodontist Miami to Palm Beach. But when a referring dentist in Weston sends me their most difficult surgical borderline case, they are not sending it because of my SEO. They send it because they have seen the before and after scans of cases I finished that other clinicians said were impossible without surgery.

Board certification matters for a reason most patients never hear about. To become a Board Certified orthodontist, you have to present actual treated cases to a panel of examiners who tear apart every decision you made. Bracket position. Timing. Finish quality. It is a voluntary examination that fewer than half of practicing orthodontists complete. I did it because I wanted the scrutiny. I wanted to know my outcomes could withstand expert interrogation.

When you search for a 5-Star Rated Orthodontist Florida, read the reviews with a filter. Look for patients mentioning complex cases. Look for adults who were told they needed surgery and found another path. Look for parents whose kids had Phase 1 treatment that prevented extractions later. Those are the signals. The star count alone is noise. Our patient reviews page has those stories unfiltered.

How I Approach Complex Cases That Other Practices Refer Out

Direct Answer: Complex orthodontic cases involving impacted canines, severe open bites, surgical camouflage, and TMJ dysfunction benefit from AI simulation because the software models root proximity to critical anatomical structures in three dimensions before forces are applied.

I get a lot of referrals for patients who have been told they need orthognathic surgery. Some of them do. Most of them do not. The AI simulation lets me test surgical camouflage scenarios before I ever put a bracket on. I can see in the 3D model whether extracting a premolar and retracting will leave the profile flat. I can see whether expanding the arch will create enough space without tipping roots out of bone.

An impacted canine is another case type where being the Best Orthodontist for Complex Cases is not about ego. It is about not damaging adjacent teeth. The AI maps the exact position of the impacted canine relative to the roots of the lateral incisor and first premolar. I know before I bond a gold chain whether I have a clear path to pull it into the arch or whether I need to coordinate with an oral surgeon for a different exposure angle.

Our treatable cases page covers the full range. But here is what I want you to know. If you were told elsewhere that your case is too difficult, get a second opinion from a practice that uses AI diagnostics. The machine sees things the human eye misses on a flat panoramic X-ray. That one piece of information has changed the treatment plan for dozens of patients who walked through my door thinking surgery was their only option.

The $0 Down Braces Financing South Florida Patients Actually Qualify For

Direct Answer: SMILE-FX offers in-house financing starting at $0 down with monthly payments as low as $99 for Phase 1 treatment and $149 for AI Braces, with no credit check denials that third-party lenders impose.

I sat down with a single mother from Pembroke Pines last month. Her daughter needed Phase 1 expansion. She had been quoted $4,500 at a corporate chain and was told she needed a credit score above 680 to qualify for their financing. She did not have that score. She had a job, a kid, and a problem that was getting worse every six months.

We got her started for $99 a month. Zero down. No credit score gatekeeping. That is Affordable Braces Miramar done the right way. Not cheap materials. Not rushed appointments. Just a business model that understands orthodontics is healthcare, not luxury retail.

For adults seeking Affordable Braces Broward or Affordable Braces West Palm Beach, the range runs higher because adult cases are full comprehensive treatment, not interceptive Phase 1. But the $0 down structure is the same. $149 to $169 per month for full AI Braces treatment. Clear aligners starting at $129 per month. We run the numbers in the first consultation. You leave knowing exactly what you will pay, what insurance covers, and what your monthly looks like.

We also file Florida Blue PPO and Delta Dental of Florida claims directly. If your plan has orthodontic benefits, we verify them before you sign anything. And under SB 1808, if there is ever an overpayment on your account, our system automatically refunds it within 30 days. You do not have to ask. You do not have to chase. The ledger audits itself. That is how how we are different plays out in real financial terms.

Adult Orthodontics Aventura to Boca: Why Professionals Are Starting Treatment Now

Direct Answer: Adult professionals in image-forward South Florida markets choose AI Braces because ceramic bracket options combined with AI simulation let them preview their smile outcome before treatment starts, removing the uncertainty that kept them from committing for years.

The patient who comes in for Adult Orthodontics Aventura is usually 35 to 55 years old, works in a client-facing role, and has been thinking about braces for a decade. What finally gets them in the chair is usually a specific event. A wedding they are attending. A conference where they are speaking. A divorce. A promotion. Something that makes them decide the mild crowding they have been tolerating is no longer acceptable.

I show them the AI simulation of their smile at month 6 and month 12. They see the progression. They see the end result rendered in high definition. That single visual closes more cases than any sales pitch I could ever deliver. It turns "maybe someday" into "let us start next week."

For adults concerned about visibility, ceramic brackets with champagne wires are nearly invisible at conversational distance. Clear aligners are even more discreet but require the compliance I wrote about earlier. The point is you have options. And Orthodontics for Adults Miami is not the same conversation it was ten years ago. The technology is better. The aesthetics are better. And the timeline is shorter because AI planning eliminates the wasted months.

Does Insurance Cover Braces and What You Should Know Before Your First Call

Direct Answer: Most PPO dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage reimburse between $1,000 and $3,000 toward braces treatment, with a lifetime maximum that applies once per patient, and coverage depends on whether your plan is an HMO or PPO.

This is the question I hear most often. Does Insurance Cover Braces? The answer is complicated because every plan is different. Florida Blue PPO typically covers $1,500 to $2,500 for orthodontics with a lifetime maximum. Delta Dental of Florida ranges similar. Some plans cover adult orthodontics. Some cap at age 19. We check your specific plan before your consultation so you walk in knowing your numbers.

HMO plans are a different animal. They restrict you to in-network providers only and often require a referral. We are not in-network with HMO plans. We are a PPO and fee-for-service practice. If you have an HMO, we can still treat you but your insurance will not contribute. Our in-house financing makes that workable for most families.

The Orthodontic Consultation South Florida we offer is free. The 3D scan is free. You lose nothing by finding out what your insurance covers and what your treatment plan would look like. Our Board Certified Orthodontist reviews every case personally. No treatment coordinator making clinical decisions. No sales pitch disguised as a consultation.

Traditional Braces vs Invisalign: The Conversation I Have With Every Patient

Direct Answer: Traditional braces offer 24/7 force application with no compliance requirement, making them ideal for complex cases and patients who cannot maintain 22 hours of daily aligner wear, while Invisalign provides superior aesthetics and easier hygiene for disciplined patients with mild to moderate misalignment.

The Traditional Braces vs Invisalign debate is not about which appliance is better. It is about which appliance matches the patient's life. I have prescribed both thousands of times. The conversation is always the same.

If you are disciplined, value aesthetics above all else, and have a mild to moderate case, clear aligners are probably your answer. Our clear aligners and Invisalign programs deliver excellent results for the right patient.

If you have a complex case, deep bite, significant rotations, or you know you will forget to wear trays, fixed braces are the better choice. The appliance never leaves your mouth. It is working while you sleep, while you work, while you snack. Compliance is built in.

There is a third option I do not see discussed enough. Hybrid treatment. Six months of fixed braces to do the heavy biomechanical lifting, followed by clear aligners to fine-tune. I do this for adults who want the best of both worlds. The braces handle the complex movements. The aligners finish the detailing. Total treatment time often ends up shorter than either option alone.

Why Referring Dentists Send Their Own Families to SMILE-FX

Direct Answer: Local dentists refer their family members to SMILE-FX because the practice combines board certification, AI diagnostics, and humidity-adapted bonding protocols that produce predictable outcomes with fewer bracket failures than the regional average.

I track where our patients come from. The ones that matter most are the referrals from general dentists and pediatric dentists across Weston, Cooper City, and Pembroke Pines. When a dentist sends their own child to your practice, that is the only review that counts. They see our outcomes on their mutual patients. They know when a case finishes well and when it drags. They send their families to us because our finish quality is consistent.

Our Best Pediatric Orthodontist South Florida reputation was built on Phase 1 cases that prevented Phase 2 from being surgical. Dentists notice when a patient they referred for expansion at age 8 comes back at age 13 with a full Class I occlusion and no extractions needed. That pattern builds trust over years.

If you are searching for the Best Orthodontist Near Me or Top Rated Orthodontist Fort Lauderdale, ask your general dentist who they would send their own child to. That recommendation carries more weight than any algorithm. And if they say SMILE-FX, you know it is based on outcomes, not advertising.
