Before Cloud 9 was "Cloud 9," it was called Practica. Before that, it was a dream project for orthodontists to access their patient data from anywhere. Reid Simmons and an ambitious group of visionaries went to the Chicago AAO in 2011 with a product that would fit the bill for orthodontists and their teams. A browser-based solution that would revolutionize the industry. And good gracious, it sure did. The success of Cloud 9 went on to become the software of choice for thousands of users all over the country, and Reid was part of the A-Team that helped bring it to life. We're so thankful for Pioneers like Reid who shaped the dental industry! ✨ #PioneersClub #TeamPlanetDDS #HistoryMaking

Our CEO, Eric Giesecke on "The Impact of Genuine Listening on Relationships and Leadership" 🤝 "Seek to understand always, which requires you to listen first 👂 Today, we always want to bring forth our opinions and I think we just want affirmation of our belief systems. ✨💎 Now if you come in with the idea that you don't know everything, there's a humility aspect and you have curiosity--if you believe both those things you can't help but listen," 💎✨ remarks Eric Giesecke on a recent episode of Listening with Leaders, with Douglas Noll. Thank you for having us, Douglas Noll! Your story of being a Lawyer-Turned-Peacemaker is inspiring and we're honored to have been invited to the show.

Patient care principles are universal. Across all specialties, doctors emphasize key themes: ensuring patients feel well cared-for, comfortable, and have a positive experience. Prioritizing patient comfort is essential for building trust and delivering exceptional care.

Level Up Your Insurance Game with AI-Powered Bone Level Measurements Gone are the days of insurance claim uncertainty 🤔💡 In our recent webinar with OVERJET, Bridget Reilly,RDH,BS dropped some knowledge bombs about how AI is standardizing insurance claim processing. Here's the key takeaway: "Major insurance companies are using artificial intelligence... and now their ruler is the same ruler. So, we're removing the guesswork from bone level measurements." - Bridget Reilly,RDH,BS, OVERJET What does this mean for you? 👍 Faster claim approvals: AI standardizes bone level measurements, eliminating discrepancies and speeding up the entire process (up to 5x faster!). ✍ Improved treatment planning: Precise bone loss data allows for targeted treatment plans. 👩🏫 Better patient engagement: Visually show patients their X-rays and build trust through clear communication. Watch the full webinar replay to see how AI is transforming the dental insurance game 👉 https://lnkd.in/eyH7JVTi #dentistry #dentalAI #claimprocessing #Overjet
