Ortho built in. Not bolted on.
Full orthodontic case management — braces, aligners, contracts, photo series, treatment cards, and monthly claim submission — all inside Ayla. No separate ortho software. No extra cost.
One system for peds and ortho.
Most practices doing ortho in-house need a separate ortho module — or an entirely separate software. Dentrix charges extra. Curve has limited support. Open Dental is basic. Ayla includes full ortho in every plan because peds and ortho belong in the same system.
Every case. Every stage.
Track the full ortho lifecycle from initial exam through debanding — case type, status, provider, estimated duration, and observation recalls. Whether it's traditional braces, Invisalign, Phase I interceptive, or retainers, every case is managed in one place.
- Full lifecycle: Initial Exam → Records → Treatment Card → Contract → Photos
- Braces, clear aligners (Invisalign, ClearCorrect), Phase I, retainers
- Status tracking: Observation, Active, Retention, Completed, Transferred
- Estimated duration, start date, end date, debanding date
- Provider assignment per case
- Observation recall — automatic follow-up reminders (e.g., "check back in 6 months")

Digital Treatment Card
Visit-by-visit tracking for braces and aligners
Digital treatment cards. No more paper.
Replace paper treatment cards with a digital version that tracks every visit — procedures performed, wire changes, bracket adjustments, and progress notes. For aligner cases, track current tray number, total trays, wear schedule, and change intervals.

- Aligner tracking: current tray, total trays, wear schedule
- Change interval tracking for aligners

- Contract generation with total fee breakdown
- Insurance estimate + patient portion calculator
- Down payment + monthly payment plan auto-calculation

Ortho Photo Series
8-view series with side-by-side progress comparison
8 views. Every visit.
Capture the standard 8-view ortho photo series — frontal, profile, smile, intra-frontal, left buccal, right buccal, upper occlusal, lower occlusal. Track multiple series over time. Compare side-by-side across visits. Photos are shared with the main imaging section — not siloed in ortho.

Not a separate module.
Part of the platform.
Ortho in Ayla isn't a separate product or paid add-on. It's woven into the same system your team already uses for charting, scheduling, billing, and communication.
Ortho badge on patient profile
Ortho patients are flagged across the system — on the schedule, in the patient list, and in the morning huddle.
Dedicated appointment types
ORTHO_EVAL and ortho-specific appointment types flow into the same schedule your team already manages.
Billing flows through
Ortho CDT codes (D8080, D8090, D8670, D8680, D8692) flow into the normal treatment plan and billing — no separate ledger.
Imaging shared
Ceph, panoramic, and CBCT images live in both the ortho module and main imaging. No duplicate uploads.
AI scribe support
Ortho CDT codes are fully supported in the AI scribe — dictate ortho procedures and they chart automatically.
Mobile access
View ortho cases, treatment cards, and photos from the mobile app. Capture photos directly from your phone camera.
Included in Core and Complete.
