Modern orthodontic practices require fast, accurate, and mobile tools that keep up with the pace of high-volume clinical workflows. Assistants move rapidly between treatment bays, orthodontists complete dozens of progress checks daily, and treatment documentation must be both precise and easily accessible. Traditional desktop-based systems simply can’t keep up.
That’s why BracketOS was built with an advanced iPad-optimized clinical workflow system, giving orthodontic teams the mobility, clarity, and efficiency they need. With chairside charting, instant photo capture, AI-powered notes, and simplified exam tools, BracketOS turns the iPad into a full clinical workstation that synchronizes seamlessly with your Mac-compatible, AI-enhanced orthodontic PMS.
This is the future of orthodontic care—mobile, intuitive, accurate, and designed for the way real orthodontic teams work.
Why iPad-Based Clinical Workflows Matter in Orthodontics
Orthodontics is uniquely fast-paced. Unlike general dentistry, orthodontic visits are short, frequent, and highly procedural. Every appointment—no matter how quick—requires:
- Charting
- Notes
- Photo updates
- Exam documentation
- Treatment progress tracking
Relying on stationary computers slows everything down. Instead, a portable iPad solution allows team members to bring the PMS to the patient rather than moving patients or staff back to a computer.
The BracketOS iPad experience provides:
- Faster appointments
- Real-time documentation
- Immediate photo uploads
- Less back-and-forth between stations
- More accurate records
- AI support to reduce manual work
With the iPad, orthodontic practices can dramatically increase efficiency while improving patient care.
Chairside Charting Built for Orthodontic Workflows
One of the most powerful advantages of using BracketOS on an iPad is how fast and intuitive chairside charting becomes. Instead of relying on multi-step desktop workflows, the iPad interface is streamlined and touch-optimized.
Key BracketOS iPad charting features include:
• Tap-based charting for rapid updates
Quickly record bracket repairs, wire changes, appliance adjustments, elastic instructions, hygiene notes, and more.
• Real-time syncing across the whole practice
Updates appear instantly on every Mac and iPad in the office.
• AI-enhanced charting suggestions
BracketOS predicts common chart entries based on appointment type and treatment stage.
• Color-coded treatment progress indicators
See what’s complete, what’s pending, and what needs attention.
• Simple, clean layout designed specifically for orthodontics
No clutter. No unnecessary features. Just a fast, clinical-grade experience.
Chairside charting becomes faster, more accurate, and significantly easier for assistants and doctors.
Instant Clinical Photos — Directly From the iPad
Photos are central to orthodontic workflows. Whether documenting a poke wire, checking brushing progress, or capturing routine movement, imaging should be quick and effortless.
BracketOS turns the iPad into a full clinical photography tool.
Benefits include:
• Direct photo capture into the patient’s chart
No SD cards, no uploading, no waiting.
• Automatic syncing across the PMS
Images are available immediately for orthodontists, treatment coordinators, and front office staff.
• Before-and-after photo comparisons
Easily show patients their progress.
• Perfect for exams, emergencies, and mid-treatment updates
Capture and document issues within seconds.
• Consistent, high-quality photos
The iPad camera provides clarity with reliable, predictable results.
This eliminates one of the biggest bottlenecks in orthodontic imaging and keeps patient records fully up-to-date.
AI-Powered Notes That Save Time and Improve Accuracy
Documentation is critical—but it shouldn’t slow your team down. BracketOS integrates AI-assisted note creation to streamline treatment note workflows.
The iPad notes experience includes:
• Smart templates
Your standard visit types automatically populate suggested note components.
• Voice-to-text note entry
Speak a summary and let AI format it into a professional clinical note.
• AI auto-complete
BracketOS predicts details commonly used in similar appointments.
• Missing-note alerts
AI scans for incomplete fields and prompts correction before the visit is closed.
• Standardized language across all providers
Ensures clarity, compliance, and consistency.
End-of-day documentation is eliminated—everything is completed chairside.
Seamless, Digital Orthodontic Exams
Orthodontic exams—whether progress checks, growth assessments, or pre-debond evaluations—require fast access to treatment data. The BracketOS iPad workflow makes exams simple, organized, and fast.
Exams on the BracketOS iPad include:
• Touch-friendly exam forms
Complete growth, progress, hygiene, appliance, and finishing exams with ease.
• Instant access to treatment history
Review previous notes, photos, and steps without switching screens.
• Real-time imaging integration
