Instructions don't survive the car ride home
You explained the elastic pattern perfectly. By dinner it's gone. BracesHelp keeps the guide, the reminder and the wear timer in their pocket for the whole six weeks — in your words.
For orthodontic practices
Treatment happens between appointments. Now you're there for it.
You see a patient for twenty minutes, then hand them six weeks of homework and hope. BracesHelp puts elastic wear tracking, guided brushing, reminders in your words and a direct line to your office in every patient's pocket — under your practice's name.

The gap
Twenty minutes in the chair. Six weeks on their own.
Every forgotten elastic, every skipped rinse, every "wait, how did they say to do this?" happens in the weeks you can't see. It shows up later as a longer treatment, an extra visit, and a conversation nobody enjoys.
Your front desk is running a call center
"Can I eat this?" "My wire is poking." Routine questions arrive as calls that pull your team off the floor. In BracesHelp they arrive as messages — answered on your schedule.
You find out at the next visit
By the time you see the elastics weren't worn, the six weeks are gone. With BracesHelp, a patient's own wear and brushing summary is waiting for you before they sit down.
Inside the app
Built to be opened daily — not downloaded and forgotten.
Compliance tools only work if patients use them. Every screen here earns its place on a teenager's phone.
-
01
The whole treatment, at a glance
Their name, your practice, how far they've come and the estimated finish you set — plus the next appointment with a one-tap call to your office.
-
02
Real wear time, not a checkbox
Patients start and pause a timer against a daily goal. A streak only counts when they genuinely hit the hours — so the number you see at the next visit means something.
-
03
Two guided minutes, six zones
A brushing coach that walks them around the mouth zone by zone, with a gentle cue at each change — and a weekly morning, afternoon and night record.
-
04
Reminders in your words
You write the reminders — elastics, rinsing, retainer, anything. Patients choose the time that fits their day, so the notification gets read instead of swiped away.
-
05
One private thread per patient
A continuous conversation with your office instead of phone tag. Your team sees the whole history — never a sticky note from whoever picked up on Tuesday.
-
06
Answers at 11pm, when you're closed
Illustrated guides for elastic patterns, bracket emergencies, brushing and what's safe to eat — ready on day one, and easy to make your own.
-
07
A smile album that stays private
Weekly progress photos, grouped by month, that never leave the patient's phone. They share them if and when they choose.
Screens from the app, shown with a sample practice and patient.
Your side of the app
See how the six weeks went — before they sit down.
Each patient's wear time and brushing roll up into a short summary on your side — streak, average daily wear, weekly brushing — clearly labeled as self-reported, never dressed up as measurement. The detailed log stays on their phone.
- Edit your doctor bio, About, videos and reminder wording yourself — from the web or your phone
- Set each patient's estimated finish and next appointment
- One inbox for every patient conversation

Everything included
One subscription. Nothing billed per patient.
You hold the keys
Your practice's name, doctor, videos and reminder wording — edited by you in minutes, from a browser or the app. No tickets, no developer, no waiting on anyone.
Walled off by design
Every practice's patients and conversations are isolated by the database's own security rules — not just hidden in the interface.
Education, ready on day one
Emergencies, elastic patterns, brushing and food guides ship with the app, illustrated step by step.
Progress patients can feel
Time in braces, your estimated finish and the next appointment, with a reminder the day before.
Messages, not phone tag
One continuous thread per patient, with the full history for whoever is on the desk.
On every phone they own
A native app for iPhone, iPad and Android — one app, whatever your patients carry.
One line on your P&L
A flat monthly or yearly price. Not per patient, not per seat, not per message. Grow from 80 active patients to 800 and the invoice doesn't move.
Privacy
Built like it holds patient information. Because it does.
- Photos stay on the phone. Smile Album pictures are never uploaded to us.
- Practice-scoped by rule. One practice can never read another's patients or messages — the server rejects it.
- Encrypted in transit. Every connection between the app and our servers uses HTTPS.
- Patients stay in control. They can delete their account and data from inside the app at any time.
- Honest numbers. Compliance is shown as self-reported, and patients are told exactly what their practice can see.
- No ads, no data sales. Your patients' information is never sold or used for advertising.

Is this a custom app built just for my practice?
No — and that's why it costs a flat subscription rather than a six-figure build. BracesHelp is one app on iPhone, iPad and Android. Your patients enter your practice code, and from then on everything they see — your doctor, your guides, your reminders, your videos — is yours.
Do my patients pay anything?
No. The subscription is billed to your practice. For the people you treat, every feature is free, with no ads.
What can my practice see about a patient?
Their profile, their conversation with you, and a short compliance summary: elastics streak, average daily wear, weekly brushing and when they last wore their elastics. It's labelled self-reported, the app tells patients exactly what is shared, and their detailed log and progress photos stay on their phone.
Can another practice see my patients or content?
No. Isolation is enforced in the database security rules themselves, not just the interface — a request for another practice's data is rejected by the server, whatever any app sends.
How do I change something in the app?
You change it. Doctor bio, About, videos and reminder wording live in your practice panel — on the web at admin.ibraceshelp.com, or inside the app on your phone.
Where can patients download it?
BracesHelp is launching on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, with Google Play to follow. Practices that join now are set up personally and are ready the day their patients download.
What if my patients never open it?
That's why it isn't a brochure. Reminders arrive as notifications, streaks give a reason to come back daily, and messaging makes the app where their answers live. If it isn't earning its place, cancel — there's no contract holding you.
Your next patient leaves in twenty minutes. Give them something to take with them.
Tell us about your practice and we'll set you up personally — usually within the week.
