Auto-cropping avoids repeating the same manual corrections over and over. You can automate rotations, flips and pupil alignment so certain photos enter the template already prepared. Before You Start Identify the photos you always correct in the same way, such as occlusal or lateral photos. Enable auto-cropping options from OrthoKit settings. Review the automatic result before using it in reports or comparisons. ...
On iPad, you can import photos from Photos, from Files or directly from an SD card using Split View. You can then review each image, correct the framing, rotate, flip and export the full set as a PDF. Before You Start Have a patient created and open. Prepare the photos in Photos, Files or on an SD card accessible from the iPad. Grant photo access permissions if iPadOS requests them. ...
The initial photo template lets you organize a patient’s extraoral and intraoral photos in a standard layout. From macOS, you can fill it by dragging files from Finder, correct placement mistakes, export images and crop each photo without losing the original. Before You Start Have the patient created. Prepare the photos in a local folder. Use the usual views: frontal smiling, profile at rest, lateral intraoral, frontal, lower occlusal and upper occlusal. ...
When all the photos from a visit are in one folder, you do not need to place them one by one. OrthoKit can fill several slots at once, sort them by capture date and, on compatible Macs, help you distinguish extraoral and intraoral photos using artificial intelligence. Before You Start Group the photos in one folder. Check how many slots the active template has. If you are not going to use artificial intelligence for classification, always take or select the photos in the same order. ...
On iPadOS, cephalometric tracing follows the same clinical workflow: choose a lateral cephalometric radiograph, calibrate it, mark anatomical points and review the analysis before exporting or expanding it. Before You Start Import the lateral cephalometric radiograph first. Check that the image includes a calibration ruler. Always review the result with clinical judgment. ...
Cephalometric tracing starts from an already imported lateral cephalometric radiograph. OrthoKit guides point placement, calculates measurements and lets you expand the tracing with new structures or analyses. Before You Start Import the patient’s lateral cephalometric radiograph first. Check that the radiograph includes a calibration ruler. Use tracing as a supervised clinical tool: the result must be reviewed by a professional. ...
OrthoKit stores patient information across a database and a folder structure with photos, radiographs and documents. This tutorial explains how to locate those files, export backups and use recovery mode when you need to recover a deleted patient. Before You Start Do not manually delete internal folders. Before changing storage settings, confirm that you have a recent backup. If you use iCloud, wait until the files have downloaded before exporting backups. ...
Radiographs are imported by dragging files into the patient’s record. OrthoKit tries to classify them automatically and places them in the corresponding area, but you can always correct the type, phase, date or annotations. Before You Start Have the correct patient open. Prepare one or more radiographs in Finder. Check that the files belong to that patient before dragging them. ...
The initial setup of OrthoKit on iPad is very similar to Mac, with one important difference: the sidebar can be hidden and shown depending on whether you are working in portrait or landscape. Here you will install the app, create the first patient and learn how to move through the main sections. ...
The first launch of OrthoKit prepares the app, lets you decide where patient files will be stored and creates the first record. In a few minutes you will know where to find the main screen, the patient list and the basic work sections. Before You Start You need a Mac with access to the App Store and enough space to work with clinical records. The app is small, but patient photos and radiographs can require several gigabytes with use. ...
