1. Overview
Medit Orthodontic Suite (MOS) is orthodontic planning software integrated within Medit Link. From an intraoral scan and, optionally, cephalometric radiographs, it generates treatment simulations, performs AI-assisted cephalometric analysis, designs aligner cases, and exports files for in-house fabrication or ordering through Medit Aligners.
The v2.3 update adds three principal functions, along with a set of smaller refinements.
2. New Functions
| Function | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Design Service | Cases are submitted to Medit’s designers for treatment planning and staging. The returned plan is reviewed and approved within the application, then exported for in-house fabrication or ordered through Medit Aligners. |
| Custom Staging | Per-tooth control of the treatment timeline, with a drag-to-edit interface for adjusting the timing of each movement. |
| Attachment & Bracket Removal | Attachments and brackets are digitally removed from scans. One described use is scanning at the final review appointment so the manufacturer can prepare a retainer before debonding. |
Additional Refinements
Tooth-Level Editing: Rotate-and-translate manipulator, improved tooth axis identification, and hinge-axis rotation for mesial and distal movement.
Arch & IPR Control: Arch control points, a minimum interproximal reduction (IPR) step reduced to 0.1 mm, and more reliable interdental blocking for STL export.
Workflow & Library: Orthodontic photo import for coaching requests, an expanded attachment library, automatic eruption bubbles and pontics, and updated bite classification.
3. Target Audience
- Clinics that want Medit’s designers to produce the treatment plan and staging (Design Service).
- Clinics designing aligners in-house that want finer control over staging and tooth-level editing.
- Practices that want a retainer prepared by the manufacturer before debonding.
4. Final Thoughts
MOS v2.3 reflects Medit’s broader shift from hardware-focused innovation toward an integrated digital dentistry ecosystem. By connecting scanning, orthodontic planning, aligner production, and case delivery, Medit is building a more complete workflow for clinicians. While the long-term success of this strategy remains to be seen, it highlights an important trend: differentiation increasingly lies not just in scanner performance, but in the software and services surrounding it.
