Innovation stops for nothing, and that’s never more apparent than at the AAO Annual Session. Part and parcel of what makes your practice marketable is the tech you offer that your competitors don’t – so here are the AI tools for orthodontists that we loved at the AAO 2025 that could put you a step ahead of the practice next door.
AI Tools for Orthodontists
Do more, better, faster with these newly minted AI tools for orthodontists.
DentoAI
DentoAI made waves at AAO 2025—not with brackets or scanners, but with brains. Built for dental and orthodontic settings, this AI-driven transcription software records patient conversations as they happen and formats them into structured SOAP notes—no extra typing required.
Key Features:
- Real-time transcription
DentoAI listens while you talk, keeping up with the full exam and capturing everything without you having to repeat yourself. - Simplified treatment summaries
It can also generate patient-friendly versions of your plans, making it easier for patients to understand what’s next and agree to move forward. - Multilingual capabilities
Helpful in diverse communities, DentoAI supports communication across language barriers, without adding extra steps to your workflow. - Secure by design
Everything is HIPAA-compliant, so your documentation stays protected and private. - Built for busy practices
The interface is straightforward and practical, making it easy for staff to learn and use—even on a packed schedule.
Doctors love it for its versatility and time-saving promise. Thanks to strong voice recognition and background noise filtering, it worked just as well on the exhibit floor as it did in private operatories. For teams juggling multiple patients and heavy documentation, it could be a reliable time-saver.
Marketing Angle
Faster workflows mean faster appointments, so pass the benefits along to your patients and highlight the time-saving tech you offer. Share this on your website, through social, or even in-office to let your patients know you’re as cutting-edge as it gets.
And don’t forget to broadcast the multilingual capabilities!
OrthoBerry
At AAO 2025, OrthoBerry garnered attention by clinching the Ortho Innovator Award, highlighting its impact on orthodontic practice management. The latest in a string of practice management solutions, OrthoBerry consolidates essential tasks—insurance verification, patient intake, call handling, case presentation, payments, and task management—into a unified system.
However, it’s important to note that this platform isn’t out just yet. You’ll have to join the waiting list if you want to get started.
Key Features:
- Integrated Workflow: Combines various administrative functions, minimizing the need to switch between different platforms.
- AI Assistance: Automates routine tasks, allowing staff to focus more on patient care and less on paperwork.
- User-Friendly Interface: Designed with inspiration from consumer brands, it aims to enhance the patient experience from the first call to consultation.
- Cost Efficiency: By consolidating services, OrthoBerry claims practices can potentially save up to 1.5% of collections associated with patient intake and contracting.
Marketing Angle
With less time spent digging through paperwork, you can reallocate to other areas of focus, like responding to Google reviews, participating on social media, and engaging with your patients on a more personal level. The more you connect with your community, the more likely you’ll be to stand out against your competition.
Kiwi Ortho
Kiwi Ortho quietly made a significant impact at AAO 2025, not through a traditional booth, but by engaging directly with attendees. This innovative case management platform is designed specifically for clear aligner treatments and integrates seamlessly with tools like Angel Aligners and DentalMonitoring to provide a comprehensive, screen-side solution for orthodontic practices.
Key Features:
- Integrated Workflow: Combines treatment planning, patient monitoring, and communication into a single, cohesive platform, reducing the need for multiple software solutions.
- AI-Driven Notifications: Utilizes artificial intelligence to send timely prompts to doctors, staff, and patients, ensuring everyone stays informed and on track throughout the treatment process.
- Remote Monitoring: Through weekly at-home scans, patients can actively participate in their treatment journey, allowing for adjustments without the need for frequent in-office visits.
- Staff Empowerment: Enables clinical staff to manage chairside procedures efficiently, freeing up doctors to focus on treatment planning and oversight.
Marketing Angle:
Highlight the flexibility offered by remote DentalMonitoring in tandem with frequent reminders for patients. Not only will this help you reduce no-shows and late reschedules, but it also shows that you’re invested in modern, patient-first care. Promote your use of Kiwi Ortho in follow-up emails and on your website as part of your clear aligner system. Patients love when tech means fewer appointments—and so does your schedule.
Zeeno Robotics
Most vendors stayed in their booths. Zeeno made its way through the crowd. Designed as an AI-powered robot assistant for orthodontic practices, Zeeno brings a futuristic twist to in-office operations. From guiding patients to operatories to running instruments to sterilization, Zeeno lightens your team’s load without breaking stride (or circuits).
Key Features:
- AI-Powered Interaction: Zeeno is equipped with Stella, an onboard AI that can greet patients, answer questions, and request reviews through its built-in touchscreen and voice prompts.
- Autonomous Navigation: Using LiDAR and smart mapping, Zeeno learns your office layout and moves on its own, avoiding obstacles and navigating hallways like a pro.
- Content Delivery: You can program Zeeno to play educational content, welcome videos, or even birthday shoutouts while patients wait.
- Operational Efficiency: Zeeno handles back-and-forth tasks like transporting lab items or sterilization packs, allowing staff to focus on higher-impact work.
Marketing Angle:
Zeeno turns a regular orthodontic visit into a tech-forward experience—one that’s easy to show off. Whether it’s a quick selfie moment with patients or a TikTok-worthy walk down the hallway, this robot gives you a unique angle on patient engagement. Highlight it in your new patient tours, post about it on social, and don’t be shy about the “wow” factor.
The Future of Ortho Is AI-Driven
Orthodontics has entered the AI era, and it’s moving fast. The practices that thrive over the next five years will be the ones that embrace the tools that make their teams more efficient, their patients more engaged, and their workflows more intelligent. From treatment planning to patient interaction to administrative tasks, AI is helping doctors do more with less.
