Empowering dentists to deliver orthodontics with expert support and AI-driven treatment plans
About orthobrain®
orthobrain® operates as a comprehensive growth system for dental practices, enabling general dentists and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) to integrate orthodontics into their services. The company was founded in 2016 by Dr. Dan German, an orthodontist with over 30 years of experience who has treated more than 30,000 patients. Dr. German's background includes running one of the largest privately held orthodontic practices in the U.S., serving as a professor at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, and speaking internationally on clinical orthodontics. He identified a gap in the market where patient demand for orthodontics, particularly clear aligners, was outpacing the availability of specialized providers, and general dentists lacked the comprehensive support to offer these services confidently.
Read full description
The company's business model is centered on a per-patient subscription fee, which provides dentists with access to a total solution for orthodontic treatment. This B2B platform combines proprietary software, AI technology, and educational systems with direct support from a team of U.S.-based orthodontist experts. The core of the service involves orthobrain's specialists evaluating patient data provided by the general dentist to develop a detailed diagnosis and a step-by-step treatment plan, called the Perfect Smile Plan®. This allows dental practices to expand their offerings, increase profitability, and improve patient retention by providing orthodontic care in-house.
orthobrain's product and service suite includes its own line of simplyclear® aligners and simplybraces™. The SimplyClear™ aligner system, launched in 2022, was designed by orthodontists and is positioned as a high-quality, comfortable, and more affordable alternative to other systems on the market. Each case includes unlimited aligners for up to three years, treatment setup, revisions, and retainers. Beyond the physical products, the company provides extensive support, including clinical mentoring, on-demand virtual assistance, and educational resources through orthobrain University to ensure practitioners can deliver care effectively. The company has demonstrated significant growth, reporting a 145% year-over-year increase in total revenue and a 185% surge in doctor registrations since 2023. This growth has been supported by multiple funding rounds, including a $9 million Series A in March 2022 and an additional $7.5 million in April 2025, with investors like CareCapital and JumpStart Ventures.
