Terms of use

DRAFT — owner to review. Drafted 2026-09-20 from what the product actually does, not from a template. It has had no legal review and must have one before it is relied on. Every line marked DRAFT NOTE is a decision only the owner can make.

Version 2026-08-01

The version above is the current version of these terms — the one the app asks a clinician to accept. Your own acceptance is recorded against your profile: which version, and the moment you accepted it, stamped at the time rather than inferred later, because after the fact there is no way to establish which wording somebody saw. If what you accepted was an earlier version, the app asks you to read and accept this one before you can carry on (section 7).

1. Who this is for

Ortho Advisor is for qualified orthodontists and dental clinicians. It is not for patients, and nothing in it is written for a patient to read. By using it you confirm you are a clinician acting in that capacity.

2. What it is — and what it is not

It is a reference tool. It retrieves passages from an indexed library of course and textbook material and writes an answer that cites where each claim came from, marked as either practitioner practice or textbook-verified, and — for the textbook layer — whether the underlying evidence is established, contested, conventional or unstated.

It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan for a named patient, and not a second opinion. It does not see your patient, cannot examine anybody, and has no knowledge of anything you have not typed into it.

Its answers can be wrong or incomplete. It can miss material that is in the library and it can phrase a conventional habit as though it were settled evidence. Responsibility for every clinical decision remains yours. That is the sentence you ticked at sign-up and it is the operative term of this agreement.

3. What you must not put into it

Do not enter anything that identifies a patient — no name, no file number, no contact details, no date of birth, no photograph of a face. The forms are built to need none of it: age, classification, measurements and findings. Everything you type is stored (see the privacy notice), so a name typed into a case is a name we then hold.

4. Your cases belong to your clinic

A case you save is shared with everyone in your clinic. That is the point of it: a colleague can pick up work you started, and the same case opens on your phone and on the clinic machine. An unsaved draft stays in the browser you typed it in and is never uploaded.

Deleting a saved case removes it from the clinic on every device. It does not erase the underlying submission record — see section 3 of the privacy notice, which says plainly what is kept.

5. Availability

There is no uptime promise. The service depends on providers we do not control, it is under active development, and it can be unavailable, slow, or changed without notice. Keep your own records; do not make this the only place a piece of clinical reasoning exists.

6. Accounts

One account, one clinician. Do not share a sign-in. On a shared clinic machine, check who is signed in before you type: the round button at the top right of every screen carries your initials, or your Google picture if you have one, and opening it shows the name and address of the account you are actually using. On a computer the name is also in the sidebar, at the bottom left. Everything you submit is attributed to whoever is signed in, and an account left open on a shared machine attributes your colleague's work to you.

7. Changes to these terms

If these terms change materially the version number above changes with them, and the next time you open the app you will be asked to read and accept the new version before you can carry on. Your details are kept and prefilled — only the acceptance is asked again, and it is recorded with the date you gave it. The version you have accepted is always the one shown at the top of this page.

DRAFT NOTE — for the owner: this document does not yet contain a governing-law clause, a limitation-of-liability clause, an intellectual-property clause covering the indexed library, or a termination clause. Those are the four a lawyer will add, and none of them should be drafted from what the code does.
