A smooth front desk experience sets the tone for your entire orthodontic practice. Whether a patient is checking in, providing insurance information, signing documents, or updating personal data, the front desk is responsible for managing essential details quickly and accurately. But in many orthodontic offices, outdated systems, paper forms, and manual workflows slow everything down.
BracketOS solves these challenges with Front Desk iPad Tools—a modern, AI-enhanced, fully integrated suite designed specifically for orthodontic practices. From scanning insurance cards to completing digital intake forms, verifying patient information, and uploading documents directly into your PMS, BracketOS transforms the front desk into a fast, efficient, and stress-free environment.
Built to work beautifully on both Mac and iPad, BracketOS gives front office teams mobility, power, and simplicity in one clean interface.
Why Orthodontic Front Desks Need Mobile iPad Tools
Orthodontic front desks handle some of the busiest workflows in the entire practice. Every hour they must:
- Check in patients
- Collect and verify insurance information
- Scan cards, IDs, and documents
- Update patient demographics
- Send forms and consents
- Upload paperwork into charts
- Manage new patient intake
- Process payments or contracts
- Handle walk-ins and emergencies
Yet many practices juggle old scanners, desktop systems, and basic form tools that don’t integrate with their PMS. This creates inefficiencies, errors, and delays—affecting both patient satisfaction and staff productivity.
BracketOS streamlines everything by offering:
- iPad-based patient intake
- Instant insurance card capture
- AI-driven data extraction
- Document scanning and filing
- Seamless PMS integration
- Digital forms with direct chart sync
- Touch-based tools for faster navigation
- Mobile flexibility across the entire office
With BracketOS, the front desk becomes a high-performing hub of efficiency and professionalism.
Instant Insurance Card Capture with the iPad Camera
Insurance card management is one of the biggest time drains for orthodontic front desks. Cards are photographed, emailed, scanned, or manually transcribed—often multiple times due to missing details or poor image quality.
BracketOS eliminates this hassle with instant iPad insurance card scanning.
Key features include:
• HD scanning using the iPad camera
Capture crisp front-and-back images of insurance cards in seconds.
• AI text extraction
BracketOS reads insurance card data—policy numbers, group numbers, subscriber info, coverage type—and enters it directly into the correct PMS fields.
• Automatic formatting
No need to fix spacing, capitalization, or missing dashes.
• Real-time verification prompts
If a field is missing or unclear, the system notifies the front desk instantly.
• Direct attachment to patient records
No uploading, no dragging files, no labeling.
• Better accuracy in claims and billing
Fewer data entry errors means fewer rejected claims.
This smart, automated process saves your staff minutes per patient, adding up to hours gained each day.
iPad Intake: Fast, Modern, and Fully Integrated
The BracketOS front desk experience shines during patient intake. Instead of managing clipboards, PDFs, or outdated kiosks, staff simply hand patients an iPad with beautifully designed digital intake forms.
Benefits of BracketOS iPad Intake include:
- Touch-friendly digital forms patients understand instantly
- Auto-filled basic info for existing patients
- AI-guided validation to prevent missing fields
- Digital signatures for all consents and HIPAA documents

Every time a patient completes a form, BracketOS populates the PMS with the correct data immediately, whether it’s demographic updates, medical history changes, or financial agreement signatures.
This eliminates redundant steps and significantly reduces waiting room bottlenecks.
Built-In Digital Document Scanning From an iPad
BracketOS turns the iPad into a mobile document scanner, replacing bulky desktop scanners and time-consuming workflows.
Features include:
• Ultra-clear document capture
The iPad’s camera functions as a high-quality scanner for paperwork, referrals, consents, and more.

BracketOS identifies names, dates, and key fields to ensure accurate filing.

Documents appear instantly under the patient’s profile for clinical or admin use.
This gives your team the ability to capture and organize essential paperwork with unprecedented speed.
AI-Powered Verification for Accurate Front Desk Workflows
BracketOS integrates AI throughout front desk operations to ensure clean, accurate data entry—without extra work from staff.
AI capabilities include:
- Automated recognition of insurance data
