Instantly Upload Photos, Scans, and Documents with BracketOS
Accurate, accessible records are the backbone of every successful orthodontic practice. From clinical photos and scanned documents to signed forms and external records, managing patient documentation efficiently is critical. BracketOS iPad Records Capture modernizes this process by enabling orthodontic practices to capture and upload photos, scans, and documents instantly—directly from an iPad.
As part of the BracketOS AI-powered orthodontic practice management software (PMS), iPad Records Capture is designed specifically for practices that use Mac computers and iPads, delivering a faster, smarter, and more reliable way to manage patient records.
What Is BracketOS iPad Records Capture?
iPad Records Capture is an integrated feature within BracketOS that allows orthodontic teams to capture, upload, and organize patient records in real time. Instead of relying on scanners, desktop uploads, or delayed data entry, staff can use an iPad to digitize and attach documents directly to the patient’s record—at the moment they are collected.
This includes:
- Clinical photos
- Scanned documents
- Signed consent forms
- External referrals and records
Everything is stored securely within BracketOS and instantly available across the practice.
Capture Photos Instantly at the Chair or Front Desk
Orthodontic practices frequently need to capture photos beyond standard intraoral images—such as ID photos, insurance cards, or progress documentation. BracketOS makes photo capture simple and immediate.
Benefits of iPad Photo Capture
- Use the iPad camera directly within BracketOS
- Attach photos instantly to the correct patient record
- Eliminate the need for separate camera devices
- Reduce the risk of misfiled images
By capturing photos directly in the PMS, practices avoid delays and ensure documentation accuracy.
Scan Documents Without Leaving the Workflow
Paper documents remain a reality in orthodontics—from referral letters to insurance forms. BracketOS iPad Records Capture enables staff to scan documents using the iPad and upload them instantly.
iPad Document Scanning Advantages
- Scan paperwork on the spot
- No desktop scanner required
- Immediate upload to the patient record
- Cleaner, more organized digital files
This reduces front-desk bottlenecks and eliminates stacks of paper waiting to be scanned later.
Upload Documents in Real Time
In many practices, documents are collected throughout the day but uploaded hours—or days—later. BracketOS eliminates this gap by allowing instant document uploads from the iPad.
Real-Time Upload Benefits
- Immediate availability for clinical and administrative staff
- No risk of lost or forgotten documents
- Faster treatment planning and approvals
- Improved collaboration across the team
