EDTECH: LEVERAGING AI-POWERED TECHNOLOGIES TO TRANSFORM THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
1. Technology overview
ClearAlignerAI is a web platform that generates AI treatment plans for clear aligner and bracket cases from DICOM uploads. A press release dated 11 April 2026 describes it as developed by Mandalay Limited trading as NovoDental, with founder Felipe Lemos, datelined Port Vila, Vanuatu. The website footer names GuideMia Technologies, LLC as operator.
The AlignerBot agent runs each case in GuideMia OrthoPlus, covering tooth segmentation, final positions, staging, IPR and attachments, with plans reviewed in 3D in the browser. It also provides seven automated cephalometric analyses and airway assessment, supports 92+ clear aligner systems, and accepts STL, PLY or OBJ files from any intraoral scanner.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- AI planning: tooth segmentation, final positions, staging, IPR and attachments.
- 3D review: step-by-step browser view with movement and staging tables.
- Editing: move teeth in 3D or enter millimetres and degrees.
- Cephalometry: seven automated analyses and airway assessment from DICOM.
- Output: aligner or arch models with attachments and cutting paths.
- Lab directory: send design files to dental labs.
3. Potential application
Dental clinics in Vietnam can outsource aligner planning per case instead of hiring a technician. Aligner brands and labs can use the design and cutting-path outputs. Orthodontic training programs can use the cephalometric analyses.
4. Benefits
Per-case pricing starts at USD 19 for planning only, with a free trial of three analyses and no credit card. Plans can be edited by moving teeth in 3D or by plain-language instruction. Works with any scanner that exports STL, PLY or OBJ. OrthoPlus is listed as FDA 510(k) cleared.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Clear aligner demand is pushing general dentists to offer orthodontics without in-house planning expertise, which favours pay-per-case AI planning tools. A growing aligner market in Vietnam creates demand for lower-cost planning services.
6. Other information
Global launch announced 11 April 2026. Subscription from USD 69/month with no annual commitment. Web app, iOS and Android versions pending store review at launch. Available in six languages (English, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, Japanese).
