Orthodontic specialty clinics
Kythro for orthodontists
Orthodontic clinics need more than a generic dental software for ortho work (structured assessment, multi-stage treatment plans, photo and radiograph progress, the long WhatsApp threads of an 18-month case) and they also need a workflow for the restorative or hygiene work that happens alongside. Kythro handles both: an Ortho specialty preset turns on ortho depth, and additional specialty modules let the clinic record non-ortho procedures on the same patient without juggling two systems.
Your day, covered.
The work this software has to carry for you.
- Assess and stage an 18 to 24 month case
- Track progress visit by visit with photos and radiographs
- Keep instalments aligned to plan stages
- Handle restorative and hygiene work alongside ortho
- Keep a two-year WhatsApp conversation with each family
- Look precise and modern to parents choosing an orthodontist

Questions
Is Kythro suitable for an orthodontic specialty clinic?
Yes. Kythro was built inside a working orthodontic specialty clinic and runs its day-to-day operations. The ortho assessment form, multi-stage treatment plans, and photo comparison features are designed specifically for orthodontic workflows. Kythro also covers the restorative, hygiene, and other dental work specialty clinics deliver alongside their ortho cases.
Does Kythro handle aligner cases as well as braces?
Yes. Treatment plans are flexible enough to model both clear aligner and fixed appliance cases, including stage-by-stage progress and chairside adjustments.
We do some general dentistry alongside ortho. Does Kythro cover that?
Yes. Enabling additional specialty modules (restorative, hygiene, endo, etc.) from Settings → Specialties unlocks per-tooth procedure records, specialty-specific appointment subtypes, inventory categories, and clinical-note templates for that work, all on the same patient chart.
