Closed beta · Phase 4 build

The lab that reads the airway.

The AI Articulator reads your scans the way Dr. Deal reads them — condylar position, airway volume, growth vectors — and turns them into splint and orthodontic plans you can defend.

What ships in the Lab

Three modules. One diagnostic frame.

Module 01

AI Articulator

Virtual articulation from CBCT + intraoral scans. Joint-position analytics, occlusal mapping, and splint design parameters generated from the same diagnostic frame taught in Real Deal Seminars.

input · CBCT (DICOM) + IOS (STL/PLY) output · splint spec · ortho plan · joint report engine · C++ core, GPU-accelerated
Module 02

Zero Base Analytics bridge

Every case streams structured diagnostics into Zero Base Analytics — population-level patterns across joints, airways, and outcomes that no single chart can show.

sync · case → ZBA, de-identified schema · joints · airway · occlusion · outcomes export · CSV · FHIR-adjacent JSON
Module 03

Case workflow

Upload, analyze, plan, fabricate. Lab-ready outputs and a case timeline your whole team can follow — built for the practice that treats the airway, not just the arch.

stages · upload → analysis → plan → fab share · referring-doc report links audit · full case history, immutable
The case workflow

Upload on Monday. Fabricate by Friday.

01

Upload the records

CBCT volume and intraoral scans drop straight in. The Lab registers them into a single patient frame automatically.

02

The Articulator reads the case

Condylar position, airway volumes, occlusal contacts, growth vectors — quantified and flagged against the diagnostic thresholds from the Real Deal curriculum.

03

Plan with evidence

Adjust the splint spec or ortho plan against live joint analytics. Every decision traces back to a measurement you can show the patient.

04

Send to fabrication

Lab-ready output files plus a written diagnostic report for the chart, the referring physician, and the insurer.

Zero Base Analytics bridge

Every case makes the next one smarter.

De-identified diagnostics stream into Zero Base Analytics: joint positions, airway volumes, treatment outcomes. The patterns across a thousand cases come back into your operatory as better thresholds, better flags, better plans.
