Orthodontic Charting

This will guide you through the steps to adding orthodontic treatment to the tooth chart in Open Dental!

Added Braces to Open Dental Charting

Made by with Scribe



1. Click ‘Chart’

2. Click ‘Ortho’ tab

3. Click "Prescriptions"

4. Choose what you want to add to this chart – in this example we are adding brackets that are being done in an office outside of FLDC, VS, ASTGW.

5. We will highlight and select the brackets and wire by holding down the control key on the keyboard.

6. Adding the lower wire as well by holding down the control key on the keyboard.

7. Click "Select"

8. Click "OK"

9. The chart now shows the brackets and wires!

Tip: When adding brackets from an outside office they will show in green like existing other treatment.

Brackets being done in house will be silver or gold.

Invisalign/Clear Aligners will show as white brackets – do NOT add the wires here!

For in house treatment you can also add in the elastics and where the patient should be wearing them! This is located in the ‘Prescriptions’ button – or can be added using the ‘Add Single’ button.

10. When brackets are removed you will highlight all hardware in the chart – right click in the highlighted area and click ‘Delete’
