Pioneering AI capabilities identify aligner and implant candidates directly from X-rays, helping DSOs elevate patient care, drive revenue lift, and streamline operations
VideaHealth, the leader in AI-powered dental solutions, announced the launch of its Aligner and Implant Recommendations, OrthoAI and ImplantAI, a new enhancement to its VideaAI platform that helps dental service organizations (DSOs) and independent practices unlock additional treatment opportunities while optimizing resource utilization. By analyzing routine radiographs, VideaAI identifies which patients are most likely to benefit from aligners or implants, allowing clinicians to focus scanning resources on high-probability cases.
“Aligners and implants represent enormous clinical and financial opportunities for DSOs and dental groups, but many organizations struggle to identify eligible patients at scale and train their staff to check for these procedures continuously,” said Florian Hillen, CEO of VideaHealth. “With these new AI-powered recommendations, we’re addressing one of the most persistent frustrations DSOs face: knowing which patients to analyze with more detailed imaging, and how to maximize treatment conversion. VideaAI enables providers to focus time and resources on high-probability candidates, minimizing wasted effort and unlocking millions of dollars in previously untapped revenue.”
Pilots with leading DSOs have already demonstrated the technology’s immediate impact. Within 30 days of deployment, the count of aligner treatment planned increased by 14%, driving an estimated $125,000 in additional revenue per location. Top-performing practices saw treatment planning volumes nearly triple, translating to approximately $1.5 million in potential incremental aligner revenue annually per practice.

Despite significant investments in intraoral and 3D scanners and efforts to train staff, many DSOs still face inconsistent scanner usage and missed opportunities to diagnose high-value treatments. OrthoAI helps close that gap. Within weeks of activation, practices saw a 12-fold increase in 3D scans for patients with a high likelihood of aligner conversion, driven by clinical insights and prior treatment history. These AI-powered prompts not only improve case acceptance, but they also simplify onboarding and training for staff.
By flagging strong candidates directly within VideaAI, OrthoAI and ImplantAI eliminate guesswork and reduce friction. There are no added workflows or retraining required just clear, visual cues that help practices:
- Boost aligner and implant case volume through more targeted scanning
- Maximize scanner utilization while reducing the training burden on staff
- Standardize care across providers with consistent, evidence-based recommendations
Beyond financial benefits, better identification of aligner and implant candidates also supports long-term patient wellness. Proper orthodontic and implant care can reduce systemic risks associated with heart disease, diabetes, and sleep apnea, while improving nutritional function and enhancing patients’ quality of life.
“VideaAI already powers the largest share of AI adoption across the largest 10 DSOs in North America,” Hillen added. “With this launch, we’re not just helping DSOs grow smarter and faster; we’re also supporting healthier, longer lives for patients everywhere.”
