Contact Sales
- One of the few FDA-cleared AI platforms specifically focused on cephalometric analysis
- 3D-to-2D conversion feature reduces patient radiation by eliminating the need for separate lateral ceph exposures
- Cloud delivery and free trial lower the evaluation barrier for practices
- No bitewing or periapical pathology detection. You still need a separate tool (Overjet, Pearl, or VideaHealth) for caries and bone loss screening
- Narrower PMS integration footprint than competitors with confirmed Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental support
- 01 Automated cephalometric tracing and measurement for orthodontic treatment planning
- 02 CBCT volume segmentation for implant and surgical workflows
- 03 Multi-location DSO standardization of cephalometric analysis
Orca Dental AI fills a specific niche: AI-automated cephalometric analysis and CBCT segmentation. If your practice does significant orthodontic work and wants to automate ceph tracing, it is worth evaluating alongside Diagnocat (which also offers CBCT analysis). It does not replace general-purpose dental AI tools like Overjet, Pearl, or VideaHealth for caries and pathology detection on intraoral radiographs. Think of it as a complementary tool for the orthodontic imaging workflow.
