What Appliance Studio does

The clinical back office for sleep and TMJ cases.

AI diagnostics, reviewed by the doctor.

From the records in the case, Appliance Studio drafts a diagnostic report — airway, TMJ and sleep-risk findings with recommendations, a suggested pathway and suggested billing codes. The treating doctor reviews every draft; nothing is prescribed on its own.

ai-report // airway · tmj · sleep risk → doctor review

Big scans, handled.

CBCT volumes up to 500 MB upload with resumable transfers, and CBCT and STL files open in built-in viewers.

Sorted by pathway.

Each case is classified as TMJ, sleep, orthodontic or bruxism, with the metrics that pathway needs in front of the doctor.

Prescribe the appliance.

A structured prescription for a mandibular advancement device, stabilization splint or clear aligner — material, advancement and opening in millimetres — then design and manufacturing tracked to delivery.

Medical billing, in the case.

CMS-1500 claims, prior authorizations and patient invoices live in the same record as the diagnosis, so billing starts from what was actually found.

How it works

From the first scan to a billed case.

01

Register and capture

Register the patient, collect signed consents, and upload the CBCT, intraoral scans, bite record and sleep data straight into the case.

02

Diagnose and prescribe

Appliance Studio drafts a diagnostic report from the records. The doctor reviews it, confirms the pathway and prescribes the appliance.

03

Deliver and bill

Design and manufacturing are tracked case by case, and claims, prior authorizations and invoices run from the same record.

For dentists

Every case, one record.

Patient, scans, AI report, prescription, messages and billing in one place — and a dashboard that puts the cases waiting on you at the top.

Behind every case

A team on the other side of the case.

The Appliance Studio team works the case queue, design review, the hand-off to your appliance maker and medical billing from its own console — and case messages go straight back to the doctor.

Questions

What dentists ask about Appliance Studio.

What is Dion Appliance Studio?

Dion Appliance Studio is oral appliance therapy software for dental practices. It keeps each sleep apnea, TMJ or bruxism case in one record: registration and consents, CBCT, intraoral scan, bite and sleep files, an AI-drafted report for the doctor to review, the appliance prescription, design review, manufacturing tracking, case messages and medical billing. It is part of Dion Health.

Who is Dion Appliance Studio for?

It is for dentists and their teams who want to offer sleep apnea, TMJ and bruxism care in the dental office. The treating doctor registers the patient, reviews the findings, prescribes the appliance and approves the design. The Appliance Studio team works the case queue, design review, the hand-off to the appliance maker and medical billing from its own console.

Is Dion Appliance Studio a sleep apnea appliance lab?

No. Dion Appliance Studio is software, not a lab. It plans the appliance and tracks the lab workflow case by case: the prescription, design review, manufacturing order, quality inspection and shipping. The appliance itself is made by an appliance maker. The same record covers a sleep apnea appliance and a TMJ appliance, so the practice follows one case instead of separate forms and emails.

How does it work with the software a practice already uses?

Appliance Studio is a web application that runs beside the practice's existing software, with nothing to install. Scans and records are uploaded into the case from whatever system holds them: CBCT volumes, intraoral STL files, bite records and sleep data files. Practices that use other Dion products open Appliance Studio from the Dion console with one sign-in.

What do the AI and the doctor each do?

The AI drafts and the treating doctor decides. From the records in a case, Appliance Studio drafts a diagnostic report with findings, a suggested pathway and suggested billing codes. The doctor reviews every draft, confirms the pathway, prescribes the appliance and approves the design before manufacturing. Nothing is prescribed or approved automatically, and a sleep apnea diagnosis stays with the sleep physician.

Which conditions and appliances does it cover?

It covers three pathways: sleep apnea, TMJ disorders and bruxism. For sleep apnea the scope is oral appliance therapy for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. The prescription covers a mandibular advancement device, a stabilization splint or night guard, and a clear aligner, with material, advancement and opening recorded in millimetres. Each case is sorted by pathway so the doctor sees the measures that pathway needs.

How is patient information protected?

Access to patient information is limited by design. Each doctor sees only their own patients, and the database enforces that rule. Signed consents are kept on file with the case, and an audit log records access to patient records. The Appliance Studio team works cases from a separate staff console that is limited to active staff accounts with assigned roles.

How does a practice get started?

Start with the live demo on this page. To open a case, create an account and complete the doctor profile, then register a patient, collect the signed consents and upload the first scans. A practice that would like to talk first can write to hello@dionhealth.com. Doctors who already use other Dion products can also open Appliance Studio from the Dion console with one sign-in.
