Plan treatment more efficiently and accurately by using an in-depth software program. Dr. Michael Berry using SmileStream.

Choosing the right orthodontic diagnostic software can help you to maximize your orthodontic efficiency by getting predictable outcomes with accurate treatment planning. While there are several orthodontic software programs in the industry, the best ones offer precise treatment planning systems, not just visuals to help your case presentation.

The software, SmileStream, has both of these features and more. You can create digital models and Visual Treatment Objectives (VTOs) where torque and tooth movements are precisely planned out for correct manipulation. Progressive Orthodontic Seminars (POS) founder, Dr. Donald McGann, developed the best diagnostic and analysis software system on the market for accurate diagnosis and treatment of your orthodontic patients.
