OrthoJourney is the partner that walks you to the finish line, so you never feel alone in your braces or aligner journey. Every day of treatment matters, even the days you can't see a difference. OrthoJourney turns your daily wear-time or elastics into one simple rhythm, keeps an honest read on your progress, and holds onto the memory of how far you've come. Whether you're in braces, clear aligners, or wearing a retainer, the app adapts to your treatment and shows up with you, daily. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log your daily wear-time (aligners) or elastics (braces) in seconds. 2. See your tray countdown or next adjustment, so you always know what today needs. 3. Check your Finish Line, an honest, date-based estimate of how close you are to done. 4. Watch your Consistency, the real number for your effort, not your teeth. It's allowed to dip and always allowed to recover. 5. Take a quick weekly photo and watch your Journey Reel grow: a time-lapse of your entire transformation. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE - Finish Line: a clear, honest treatment timeline built from your real data, never guessed - Consistency: your streak and 7-day average, the number that's actually in your control - Tray countdown and switch reminders (aligners), or elastics streak and broken-bracket triage (braces) - Journey Reel: a smooth time-lapse built from every weekly photo, oldest to newest - A companion that talks back: gentle nudges when you slip, real celebration when you show up - Milestones and share cards for streaks, halfway points, and your finish - Appointment reminders, questions to ask, and notes, so you walk in prepared - Retainer mode: keep the habit and the memory going long after the braces come off - Yours, privately: your photos and data belong to you, always No fabricated scores. No grading your teeth. Just an honest picture of your progress and a partner that's in it with you. DESIGNED TO BELONG ON YOUR IPHONE Clean, fast, and native, OrthoJourney feels right at home next to Apple Health. One accent color, native components, no clutter, no noise. ORTHOJOURNEY+ Unlock the full experience with OrthoJourney+: full Consistency history and trends, the Journey Reel, your complete photo archive, milestone share cards, retainer and lifetime mode, and your full appointment and questions archive. Start free, upgrade anytime. Begin today. In a few months, you'll be glad you kept the whole story. Note: OrthoJourney is a personal progress companion, not a medical device. It does not provide diagnosis or treatment, and its insights are not a substitute for professional care. Always follow the guidance of your orthodontist or dentist.
