Educational photo-based reference tool

DentSpot™

A softer, more structured way to review pediatric dental photos for common alignment patterns. DentSpot is intended for educational awareness and sharing, not diagnosis.

Capture consistent views, review the visual output, and share it with your dentist or provider if you want a professional opinion on next steps.

DentSpot phone-guided mouth photo concept

Visual concept

A simple phone-guided way to review mouth photos

DentSpot is built around consistent front, side, upper, and lower views so families can organize photos in a format that is easier to review or share.

Phone First

Use your phone camera or photo library for a consistent set of dental views.

Guided Views

Front, side, up, and down photos help organize the review into a repeatable workflow.

For Awareness

The output is best used as a visual reference to review or share with a provider.

Share with provider

Session PDF

Export a shareable summary if you want to keep the session or bring it to an appointment.

Use it as a conversation starter

DentSpot is best used to support a dentist/provider discussion rather than replace one.

How It Works

A simple 3-step workflow

DentSpot is designed to help families organize photos and review the result in a format that is easier to discuss with a dentist or provider.

1

Capture or upload

Use guided prompts for the front, side, upper, and lower dental views.

2

Review the output

The tool highlights possible alignment patterns found in each submitted view.

3

Share with dentist/provider

Keep the session for your own reference or bring it into a dental or provider conversation.

Potential Results

What the result may show

These are visual result categories used by the current DentSpot model. They are intended as reference labels, not clinical conclusions.

Healthy Teeth

The submitted view did not show one of the flagged alignment patterns the current model was trained to look for.

Mandibular Retrusion

The photo may resemble a lower-jaw-set-back pattern that could be worth discussing with a dentist or orthodontic provider.

Deep Overjet

The upper front teeth may appear to sit notably ahead of the lower front teeth in the image.

Tooth Misalignment

The image may show crowding, spacing, or another alignment difference in the visible teeth.

Draft Research Summary

Accuracy and performance study snapshot

Based on the attached DentSpot paper draft, the current model was evaluated in a feasibility-style research setting using a labeled intraoral photograph dataset.

Study Setup

What the draft paper evaluated

The draft describes a retrospective model-development and validation study using pediatric intraoral photos with patient-separated training, validation, and test groups. The goal was to see how consistently the system could sort visible teeth into four categories in a controlled research dataset.

Understanding The Output

Interpreting results and next steps

DentSpot is most useful when it helps you organize questions, compare views, and decide whether to bring the photos into a provider discussion.

Important Notice

DentSpot™ is an educational, AI-assisted photo reference tool. It may help organize images and support discussion with a dentist or provider, but it does not provide a clinical diagnosis or treatment plan.
