AI and Teledentistry

The Medicaid-Medicare-CHIP Services Dental Association and Overjet have teamed up to create the first national Medicaid artificial intelligence dental program initiative.

InBrace, an orthodontic company, secured a $45 million venture loan from Horizon Technology Finance Corp., a venture lending platform.

Overjet will provide Affinity Dental Management practices with artificial intelligence-powered radiograph analysis, the dental AI company said July 11.

Dental artificial-intelligence company Retrace has received full accreditation from the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission.

Here are five teledentistry and artificial intelligence stories Becker's has reported on since June 8:

Orthodontics technology company Brius Technologies has launched an artificial intelligence-guided tooth straightening solution.

Orthodontics company StarAligners recently launched an oral therapy light system to complement its clear aligner treatment. 

Medical device company Align Technology recently celebrated its 25th anniversary by making a $250,000 donation to Junior Achievement Worldwide. 

Patient expectations have changed. And the new expectations don’t just center around the overall consumer experience in healthcare, they also focus heavily on communication.

From new partnerships to initiatives, medical device manufacturer Align Technology has made several moves almost halfway through the year.
