OrthoFX™ was founded by clear aligner industry pioneers behind the first and second generations of aligner materials and systems. The company reimagines polymers, software, and services to improve treatment predictability and patient compliance. Its aligner portfolio includes AirFlex™ (FDA-cleared for 50% shorter wear time), FXClear™ for gentle, comfortable treatment, and FXBright™ for enhanced comfort with instantly whiter teeth.

OrthoFX is a global clear aligner provider delivering advanced orthodontic solutions through a combination of custom aligner systems and digital treatment workflows.

To support scalable, remote-first orthodontic care, OrthoFX partnered with us to build FXOnTrack — an AI-powered remote monitoring platform enabling clinicians to track patient progress, detect deviations early, and intervene proactively without unnecessary in-clinic visits

Challenges

Problems
- Patients required frequent in-clinic visits to monitor aligner progress, increasing operational strain.
- Delayed or missed check-ins led to “off-track” cases and treatment inefficiencies.
- Clinics faced scalability limits due to chair-time constraints and manual follow-ups.
- High coordination and scheduling overhead reduced clinical efficiency.

Objectives
- Enable remote progress monitoring via patient-submitted photos
- Reduce in-clinic visits while maintaining treatment quality.
- Improve patient compliance and overall treatment throughput.
