iPad Payments for Orthodontic Practices

Card-on-File, ACH, and Subscription Billing Made Simple with BracketOS

Managing payments efficiently is essential for a successful orthodontic practice. From treatment plan subscriptions to monthly installments and one-time charges, modern practices need flexible, secure, and easy-to-use payment solutions. BracketOS iPad Payments brings card-on-file, ACH, and subscription setup directly into your orthodontic practice management software (PMS), allowing your team to collect payments confidently—right from an iPad.

Built as part of the BracketOS AI-powered PMS, iPad Payments is designed specifically for orthodontic practices that rely on Mac computers and iPads to deliver a streamlined, patient-friendly financial experience.


What Is BracketOS iPad Payments?

BracketOS iPad Payments is a fully integrated payment solution that enables orthodontic practices to manage all patient financial interactions within a single platform. Instead of using disconnected payment terminals, spreadsheets, or third-party billing tools, your team can handle payments directly inside BracketOS—securely and efficiently.

With iPad Payments, orthodontic practices can:

  • Store cards securely using card-on-file
  • Accept ACH (bank) payments
  • Set up recurring subscriptions and payment plans
  • Process payments chairside or at the front desk

All payment activity is automatically linked to the patient’s account, reducing errors and administrative overhead.


Card-on-File: Faster, More Reliable Payments

Card-on-file functionality is essential for orthodontic practices that manage long-term treatment plans and recurring visits. BracketOS makes it easy to securely store payment methods and use them when needed—without repeatedly requesting card information.

Benefits of Card-on-File

  • Faster check-in and check-out
  • Reduced missed or delayed payments
  • Improved patient convenience
  • Consistent billing for treatment plans

With BracketOS on iPad, staff can securely add or update cards directly during appointments, ensuring payment information is always current.


ACH Payments: Flexible Options for Families

Many orthodontic patients and parents prefer bank-based payments. BracketOS iPad Payments supports ACH transactions, offering a flexible and cost-effective alternative to credit cards.

Why ACH Matters in Orthodontics

  • Lower transaction costs
  • Ideal for recurring monthly payments
  • Preferred by cost-conscious families
  • Reliable for long-term treatment plans

ACH payments can be securely set up on an iPad during consultations or check-in, making it easy for families to choose the payment method that works best for them.


Subscription Setup for Orthodontic Treatment Plans

Orthodontic treatment often spans months or years, making subscription-style billing a natural fit. BracketOS simplifies this process with built-in subscription setup designed specifically for orthodontic workflows.

Subscription Billing Features

  • Automated recurring charges
  • Flexible payment schedules
  • Support for cards and ACH
  • Clear visibility into upcoming payments

Subscriptions help practices stabilize cash flow while providing patients with predictable, manageable payment plans.

By proactively assisting staff, AI reduces manual oversight and ensures that payment workflows remain consistent and reliable.
