FAQ

First off, we are entirely cloud-based, giving you greater flexibility to run your practice systems.  Orthobridge reduces costs while growing your practice and prioritising patient care. It’s flexible, scalable, and fully-integrated. Everything is in one system, ready to serve you.

The cloud-based technology behind Orthobridge lends itself to a virtual meeting and demonstration.  We will conduct a remote meeting for you and your team, take you through all the functions within Orthobridge, how we support our clients, and any particular aspects of the application and company you’d like to focus on.

Following the demo, if you wish to have a follow up meeting at the practice we can arrange this.

Simply contact us to arrange a virtual demonstration.

Yes. We have automated data transfer solutions for many leading orthodontic systems

There are three simple steps:

You or your IT person can request access to your current patients’ contact information.

For most providers this is simply a case of contacting them and asking them to export your data to your server. Once complete, we will transfer your data to the new system ready for you to review. For OrthoTrac, once requested, they will provide access to the database and we will take it form there. In most other cases, your current provider will export your data into CSV format. Once the information is in the CSV format, contact us and we will migrate the data to Orthobridge in a HIPAA-compliant manner.

Then you can begin working in OrthoBridge and operate your old system for as long as you want, until you're comfortable. At that point, the old system can be retired.

The cost is based on the system you are converting from.
