Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you assess the malocclusion and talk through options with the patient and parent, it writes the record in the background, so the consultation stays a conversation, not a keyboard.
Decalcification warned, in writing
The white-spot and enamel-damage risk you flagged, and the oral hygiene and fluoride advice you gave, on record from the day the appliance goes on.
Resorption and relapse on the record
Root resorption and the lifelong relapse and retention conversation, captured at assessment and revisited at debond, not reconstructed from memory if it is ever questioned.
Who agreed, and when
The under-18 patient's assent and the parent's consent, the appliance chosen and the retention accepted, recorded contemporaneously at the visit they were given.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, assessment, options and consent, where published audits show conventional records routinely fall short.
Audits referenced: Cole & McMichael (Primary Dental Care, 2009), Hayes et al (Dental Update, 2017) and, on radiograph evaluation under IR(ME)R, a hospital audit (Kiu et al, Clinical Radiology, 2010).
Two years into an appliance case, ask what the overjet was at assessment, which risks were consented, or what retention was agreed, answered in seconds from the patient's own record.
Walk into the review already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the relevant British Orthodontic Society and NICE referral guidance, the IOTN criteria and the IR(ME)R justification standards, with the source cited. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
Every consent point captured
New assessments used to be where my notes thinned out. Now the overjet, the IOTN, the options and every consent point, decalcification, root resorption, relapse, are all written while I talk to the patient. I edit and approve in seconds and nothing gets missed.
★★★★★
The two-year story holds together
Orthodontic cases run for years, and the record has to make sense from assessment to debond. Note Dr keeps every adjustment consistent, so when I look back the whole appliance journey reads as one coherent story.
★★★★★
The teenager and parent get me
I'm not turned to a keyboard during the consultation any more. The young person and the parent get my attention, the assent and the parental consent are both captured, and the assessment is still written in full.
★★★★★
Calmest inspection we've had
Consistent records across every appointment, with malocclusion, options and consent captured every time. When the inspector came, the notes already told the whole story, from assessment to retention.
★★★★★
Retention advice always on record
At debond it logs the result, the retainers fitted and the relapse warning without me thinking about it, so the retention discussion is always there in black and white.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
An orthodontic case can be questioned years after the brace comes off. My notes now carry the IOTN, the options, the decalcification and relapse consent and the retention, all written at the time, so the whole journey would stand up to scrutiny.
Dr Farah JOrthodontist
The best AI scribe for orthodontists writes the whole case, not just one visit. Note Dr drafts the new assessment with malocclusion, IOTN and cephalometric findings, then the appliance fit, adjustments, debond and retention, in British orthodontic terminology. It listens in the background while you assess and consent, and you review and approve every note before it reaches the record.
Yes. As you assess, Note Dr records the IOTN dental health and aesthetic component, the incisor and molar relationship, overjet and overbite in millimetres, and your cephalometric findings on skeletal pattern and incisor angulation, into a structured baseline assessment you review and approve.
It captures the risks as you explain them: decalcification and white-spot lesions, root resorption, and relapse with the need for long-term retention. The discussion, the appliance chosen and the patient's and parent's agreement are documented contemporaneously, so years later the consent conversation is on the record, not recalled.
For under-18s it records both the young person's assent and the consenting parent's agreement by name, alongside the options discussed and the risks explained. The split between what the patient understood and what the parent authorised is captured clearly in the contemporaneous record.
An AI scribe supports the complete, contemporaneous records that GDC Standards for the Dental Team and British Orthodontic Society guidance expect, but it does not replace your clinical judgement. Note Dr drafts the malocclusion, radiograph justification, options and consent as the appointment happens, and you review and approve each note, so the record you sign off is accurate.
No. An ambient AI scribe runs in the background during the appointment, so a high-volume adjustment clinic keeps moving. Note Dr listens while you check progress, change the archwire and review oral hygiene, drafting the note as you work. At the end you review and approve it in seconds, instead of typing up records between patients or after the list.
Yes. Note Dr sits alongside whatever you run. Once you have reviewed the note, you paste or export it into Dentally, SOE Exact, CS R4+ or your ortho-specific system, with no integration build and nothing to rip out and replace.
