Orthodontic Treatment Plan Presentation: What You Need to Know
by Zoё Barnstone in Aug 15 2024
In the rapidly evolving world of orthodontics, digital tool integration is not optional but essential. As technology advances, so do the expectations of your patients, who seek effective treatments and streamlined, comfortable, and engaging experiences.
To stay ahead of the curve, implement digital tools into your practice to supercharge your workflow and patients’ experience. Gone are the days of clunky software and weeks of waiting for aligners to arrive. The rise of digital orthodontics has propelled clear aligner treatments into a new era of efficiency and efficacy.
When patients come to your practice seeking to improve their smile, they need to trust your expertise. Patients often find medical terminology and treatment specifics overwhelming. You can build trust and understanding by providing a clear, visual explanation of the diagnosis and planned treatment.
Your orthodontic treatment plan presentation plays a crucial role in patient acceptance and compliance. Patients need your help to understand the stakes of their treatment and how to ensure the best outcomes. A well-informed and active participant is more likely to accept and comply with your treatment plan.
This is where the SoftSmile WebViewer steps in as an invaluable tool.
The WebViewer is a web-based platform that allows for a comprehensive presentation of treatment plans, fostering an informed and confident patient ready to embark on their smile transformation journey. The WebViewer is one piece of a cohesive and efficient digital workflow through its seamless integration with the entire product suite, including VISION, DFA, and the Portal. This integration facilitates streamlined operations and enhances workflow coherence.
The WebViewer is fully integrated into the Portal, SoftSmile’s case management platform, enhancing communication between you, your team, and your patients throughout the workflow. Once you’ve uploaded the patient case to the Portal and the treatment plan is ready you can review and approve it in the WebViewer. You can check the treatment simulation of attachments, cutouts, IPRs, bite ramps, pontics, and analyze jaw displacement.
The WebViewer is suited for busy practices and hectic schedules with the ability to review and approve cases on the go. The web-based review interface can be accessed on any device to check treatment plans and view the simulation of the treatment. Generate a shareable link to send to your team or patient to keep everyone in the loop throughout the treatment process.

Lengthy back and forths with technicians eat into your time and bottom line. The comment/chat functionality within the WebViewer facilitates direct communication with technicians, allowing for quick refinements and adjustments, thus saving time and improving the precision of treatment plans.
By giving patients a glimpse of their treatment outcome and involving them in the treatment process, the WebViewer educates and motivates patients, enhancing their compliance and satisfaction with the treatment.
