Treatment Plan Automation for Orthodontics

Let your AI agent handle patient proposals, cost breakdowns, and treatment comparisons—so you can focus on clinical care and patient outcomes.

As an orthodontist or treatment coordinator, you spend hours each week building plans and calculating estimates in Excel, updating patient files in Dolphin Imaging, and emailing revisions back and forth. The manual process is tedious, error-prone, and keeps you stuck at your desk instead of with patients. Every insurance update or new treatment option means another round of paperwork—leaving you frustrated and behind.

An AI agent that drafts, updates, and shares orthodontic treatment plans and cost estimates, reducing manual work for clinicians.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In private orthodontic practices, treatment coordinators and clinicians waste valuable time creating and revising patient plans. Pulling data from Dolphin Imaging, updating cost estimates in Excel, and emailing proposals to patients eats up hours each week. Every change—like new insurance details or treatment alternatives—requires manual recalculation and document editing. This repetitive work slows patient communication and increases the risk of mistakes.

AI Agent FAQ

The agent can import patient records from Dolphin Imaging and insurance details from Carestream via export/import or API, depending on your setup. Direct integration is available for most standard workflows, but custom setups may need manual data transfer.

All patient information is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and deleted after processing. The agent follows HIPAA guidelines for data privacy—be sure to maintain your clinic’s protocols for confidentiality.

You can modify proposal templates and instructions so the agent matches your clinic’s branding and clinical protocols. Customization ensures documents reflect your preferred style and language.

No, your AI agent generates documentation and estimates based on your input, but all clinical decisions remain with you. Use the agent to automate repetitive paperwork, not to make treatment choices.
