The SureSmile™ System is used to provide a total orthodontic care solution to orthodontists with an image acquisition and viewing technology that delivers value throughout the entire care cycle; including record collection, treatment planning, treatment delivery, monitoring of care and patient communication. This treatment objective is then used to design a custom appliance system, prescribed by the orthodontist, which is specific to each patient's needs. The result is a comprehensive care solution that addresses many problems that orthodontists face with patient care. The OraScanner is not intended for use as an operative device and is not manufactured to be sterile.

The OraMetrix SureSmile System is a complete image management system capable of acquisition, transmission, archive, display and print of patient images and demographic information. Its purpose is to facilitate these operations utilizing shared data to promote the availability of information locally, remotely, and at other facilities other than which it was acquired. The process begins by using the OraScanner to obtain a three-dimensional digital image of the dentition to provide the orthodoniist a 3-D view of the teeth. These images may be integrated with other patient records to establish a three-diment objective. This treatment objective is then used to design a custom appliance system, prescribed by the orthodontist, which is specific to each patient's needs. Follow up scans using the OraScanner allow the orthodontist to precisely monitor patient progress through the entire treatment. Systems are configured to meet the customer's needs. Fully integrated systems could enable orthodontist to utilize speech recognition.
