In a fast-paced orthodontic clinic, mobility, clarity, and efficiency can make the difference between an organized workflow and a chaotic one. Traditional practice management systems were built around stationary desktop computers, forcing assistants and orthodontists to move back and forth between treatment bays and charting stations. But modern orthodontic practices need more flexible tools—solutions that meet the reality of chairside care.
That’s why we built the BracketOS Chairside iPad Station, a portable, touch-optimized clinical workstation designed to streamline workflows and bring your orthodontic PMS directly to the chair. Powered by our AI-enhanced, cloud-based practice management system and fully compatible with both Mac and iPad, this mobile station transforms the way your team documents visits, charts treatment progress, and engages with patients.
The result: faster chairside charting, cleaner documentation, more efficient appointments, and a smoother patient experience from start to finish.
Why Orthodontic Practices Need a Chairside iPad Station
Orthodontics is one of the most mobility-intensive specialties in dentistry. Assistants move between multiple chairs, orthodontists check various patients each hour, and treatment details must be documented with precision. A stationary workstation slows down the clinical flow. In contrast, a portable iPad workstation enhances it.
The BracketOS Chairside iPad Station supports:
• Chairside charting without leaving the patient
Document treatments instantly with touch-friendly tools that mirror real orthodontic workflows.
• Faster turnover between appointments
Eliminate unnecessary walking back to a desktop station, keeping the clinical flow continuous and efficient.
• Better accuracy and real-time updates
Record data immediately during the appointment—no backlog, no forgotten tasks.
• A modern patient experience
Use the iPad to display treatment progress, images, or educational visuals directly to patients and parents.
• AI-powered optimizations
Let BracketOS AI assist with note creation, appointment predictions, reminders, and data completion.
A chairside system isn’t just a convenience—it’s a productivity multiplier for both large and small orthodontic practices.

AI-Enhanced Chairside Efficiency
The BracketOS Chairside iPad Station is more than a portable screen—it’s powered by intelligent AI tools designed to reduce documentation time and improve accuracy.
Our AI capabilities include:
• Automated chairside note generation
Speak or type a short summary, and AI expands it into a structured visit note.
