Cookbooks
Field-tested playbooks for clinics, labs and individual technicians, building real digital dentistry workflows on Cympha dental lab case management software.
Case handoff and intake
Most practices run on two pairs of hands — the dental assistant prepares the patient, the doctor diagnoses and decides. This cookbook walks the role-split action sequence end to end: who does what, in what order, on which Cympha surface, from chair-seating to lab handoff.
A dental case is the patient plus what's in your head about the patient. Cympha Studio + Cympha case now lets both ride together — the virtual patient model (scans, CBCT, photos, bite) with the doctor's treatment intent (annotations, measurements, camera angle) preserved as one clinical record. Fewer follow-up emails. Fewer revisions. Faster patient outcomes.
How files move between clinics, labs, and consultants on Cympha — the cloud browser, identity-based sharing, Studio review of 3D files in the browser, ZIP download, and what the desktop sync adds on top.
What submitting, tracking, and approving a case looks like from the doctor's chair — using Cympha's case form, Studio for chairside 3D review, and live status updates instead of email threads and PDFs.
Aligner design and production
Direct-to-clinician clear-aligner design with no lab in between. Same OrthoPlus engine as AlignerBot, different entry point: doctor submits at clearaligner.ai, pays one credit per case, free Phase-1 review, unlimited revisions.
Four steps to turn your workstation into an unattended clear-aligner design pipeline — OrthoPlus, Cympha onboarding as AlignerBot, the Agent Manager, and the tray switch that puts the whole thing in motion.
Running a lab
How a busy lab manager runs the queue — assigning designers, reassigning mid-flight, tuning AI auto-apply policies, and keeping the activity log as the single source of truth.
From signup to your first paying case in four hours. A concrete walkthrough of what each Cympha feature does — case forms, the Agent, AI file matching, per-case payouts — for solo designers and two-person startups.
Why scaling clear-aligner production no longer means hiring more technicians — it means batch automation with GuideMia DesignBot.
Patient communication
Digital Smile Design that runs in the browser, on the patient's own photo. A 5-step wizard turns one smile picture into an AI-guided before/after — the most effective case-acceptance conversation in esthetic dentistry, finished in the same appointment. The downloaded result rides to the lab as captured intent, not guesswork.
A complete walkthrough of the consultation module: picking from 14 templates, filling sections, the data-completeness checklist sidebar, AI extraction, plan generation, patient sharing, and branching to a lab case when treatment requires it.
A clear-aligner plan is a 25-step prediction. The gap between when the patient leaves with the trays and when the doctor sees them next is where things go wrong. Cympha Ortho Monitoring closes that gap — the same treatment plan you finalised becomes the patient's recurring photo check-in, framed against the planned tooth positions, filed against the treatment step automatically, played back side-by-side in Studio.
How the platform is built
How the Cympha Agent Manager turns your computer into an efficiency layer — Cloud Monitor, File Monitor, AlignerBot, Upload Agent — and the manual file-motion work each one deletes from your day.
