Download Case Study

The orthodontic industry is undergoing a digital transformation, driven by the need for greater accessibility, efficiency, and precision in aligner treatments. Traditional workflows for designing teeth aligners are time-consuming, require specialized software installations, and depend heavily on manual intervention.

The client sought a cloud-based, web-enabled solution that allows orthodontists and clinicians to create, review, and customize aligner treatment plans seamlessly, without any installation or setup. The solution needed to be highly accurate, time-efficient, and flexible.

Solution

A web-based online aligner technology platform was developed by leveraging AI and ML algorithms to automatically generate an optimized aligner treatment plan using patient data such as intra-oral 3D scans and X-rays.
It is a fully cloud-hosted platform, eliminating installation requirements.
It automates alignment, segmentation, and staging of treatment sequences.
It supports 3D visualization of dental scans from all angles.
Also provides ability for orthodontists to review, refine, and customize AI-generated plans.
The system provides a balance between automation and clinical control, ensuring both efficiency and precision in treatment planning.

Product Features
