Ekarthaan

The workflow

From scan to seated bracket, one continuous lab sequence.

1. Import

STL / PLY from any major intraoral scanner, checked on arrival.

~1 min

2. Initial placement

Software drafts bracket positions from the prescription for technician review.

~5 min

3. Refine & approve

Per-tooth adjustment with collision and archwire-engagement checks.

~10 min

4. Generate jig

Printable transfer jigs generated per segment, ready for any resin printer.

~5 min

5. Print in-house

Validated IBT resins, recommended orientation, print-ready export.

~3 min prep

6. Deliver

Jigs ship to the prescribing orthodontist for chairside bonding.

Lab → clinic

Attribute	BraceFlow (Our System)	Ortho System	IDB	Lab
Time per case (scan → printable jig)	24 min (in-house, AI-driven)	~60–90 min (semi-automated; manual refinement-heavy)	~5 min orthodontist input + 10 business days lab turnaround	~10 min planning; IDB is in beta
Software seat cost (public-info ranges)	Transparent pricing — $49 to $499 Monthly Plan	Quote-based; resellers report ~$5K–$15K+ initial + $1.5K–$4.5K/yr renewal per seat	Bundled subscription + per-case fees; not publicly listed	Per-aligner pricing (~$35 USD / aligner); no traditional seat license
Scanner agnostic	Yes — TRIOS, iTero, Medit, Carestream (STL/PLY)	Partial — optimized for TRIOS; STL/DICOM imports supported	Yes — accepts major intraoral scan formats	Yes — standard scan file imports
AI bracket placement	Yes — fully AI-driven initial placement with torque / tip / in-out validation	Semi-AI — rule-based auto-setup; AI features added in recent versions	Limited in-software AI; relies on SureSmile-certified lab technicians	AI-assisted (primary focus is aligners; IDB module still in beta)
Training required	Low — designed for short onboarding, no certification	High — multi-day training typical; complex UI with module-by-module licensing	Moderate–high — certification required for outsourced workflow	Low — self-service oriented; 10-min planning workflow
Deployment model	In-house software, single workflow	In-house software, multi-module	Outsourced lab service (10-day turnaround)	In-house software + optional concierge service
Best for	Labs and practices needing fast, in-house, AI-first IDB	Established labs with existing 3Shape ecosystem	Practices that prefer outsourced planning, no in-house lab	Aligner-first practices adding limited IDB capability

Compatibility

Works with the hardware you already own.

No proprietary scanner lock-in, no certified-printer list. If it exports a standard mesh or prints dental resin, BraceFlow fits in.

Roadmap

What's coming next.

The next releases focus on one theme: measurable, documentable placement quality — from the scanner all the way to the printed jig.

Q3 2026

Scale Assurance

End-to-end dimensional verification — from per-scanner calibration on import to measurable reference checks on every printed plate.

Q3 2026

Per-tooth adaptive bracket sizing

Bracket dimensions proposed from each tooth's own measured anatomy, with full manual override and per-doctor presets.

Q4 2026

Next-generation transfer jig architecture

Redesigned jigs engineered for deterministic, single-path seating and visual bonding confirmation at the chair.

Q4 2026

Accuracy Verification Suite

Post-bonding scan comparison with per-bracket deviation reporting — so labs can document placement quality on every case.

2027

Bracket brand libraries

Calibrated profiles for Damon, 3M Victory, Forestadent, GAC, and more — match drafts to real, purchasable SKUs.

2027

Resin calibration profiles

Per-resin compensation tuned for major IBT materials, refinable from your own lab's measurements.

What the System Does

Intelligent Bracket Placement

AI-driven suggested positioning based on clinical norms.

Precision Adjustment

Intuitive manual controls for micro-movements.

Photorealistic Rendering

High-fidelity metal brackets for clear communication.

Predicts Collision/Interference

simulates archwire engagement against prescribed bracket positions to flag interferences, occlusal collisions, and torque/tip discrepancies before bonding.

Intelligent Orthodontics

AI-Powered Analysis

Our proprietary engine performs a comprehensive clinical analysis of the scan in seconds, ensuring every bracket placement is biologically and mechanically optimized. Unlike manual CAD, the AI accounts for multiple orthodontic variables simultaneously to prevent mid-treatment corrections.

Diagnostic Analysis (Bolton, IPR, torque)
Placement Intelligence (auto-curve, collision detection)
Predictive Validation (movement simulation, mid-treatment correction prevention)

Outcome

By moving the IDB workflow to our AI-driven environment, labs have effectively eliminated the 'CAD bottleneck.' The manual 90-minute placement process has been condensed into a 24-minute automated sequence that yields higher clinical accuracy and a validated jig fit across dozens of consecutive cases in beta. This system doesn't just save time; it expands a laboratory’s production capacity without the need for additional hiring or expensive legacy software seats.
