Upcoming iPad Features and Enhancements at BracketOS
Orthodontic practices are evolving rapidly, and technology must evolve with them. Mobility, intelligence, and real-time access to data are no longer optional—they are essential. At BracketOS, our vision is clear: to deliver the most advanced AI-powered orthodontic practice management software (PMS) built for Mac and iPad.
The BracketOS iPad Roadmap outlines upcoming iPad features and enhancements designed to further streamline clinical workflows, improve patient communication, and empower orthodontic teams to work smarter—directly from their iPads. This roadmap reflects our commitment to continuous innovation and to building tools specifically for the modern orthodontic office.
Why an iPad-First Roadmap Matters in Orthodontics
Orthodontic practices are uniquely suited for iPad-based workflows. From chairside exams and imaging to patient check-in and financial discussions, mobility improves efficiency and patient engagement.
BracketOS has already established iPad as a core part of the orthodontic workflow. Our roadmap builds on this foundation by expanding iPad capabilities in ways that reduce friction, improve accuracy, and leverage AI to support clinical and administrative teams.
A Vision Built Around AI-Powered Orthodontics
AI is not a future concept at BracketOS—it is a core part of how we design software. Upcoming iPad features continue to expand the role of AI across the orthodontic office.
Planned AI Enhancements on iPad

- Improved AI-assisted data validation
- Context-aware prompts for clinical and administrative actions
- Enhanced consistency across multi-provider practices
These enhancements are designed to support—not replace—clinical expertise, helping teams stay efficient and aligned.
Expanded Chairside Clinical Tools
One major focus of the iPad roadmap is expanding chairside functionality, allowing clinicians to complete more tasks without leaving the operatory.
Upcoming Chairside Enhancements
