The core handles the daily essentials — patients and history, appointments, dental charting, periodontal exams, prescriptions, imaging, supply inventory, and manual billing (cash, bKash, or bank — no card gateway needed). On top of that sits a premium clear-aligner module that tracks the full aligner workflow: treatment plan, batch lab orders, a production board, mid-treatment refinements, and the number no spreadsheet gives you — live per-patient margin after wasted aligners. Every patient is one shared record across modules, so adding a patient anywhere makes them available everywhere. The feature that grows a clinic on its own is the passwordless patient portal: staff generate a secure, expiring magic link and send it over WhatsApp, and the patient sees their treatment progress, next appointment, and amount due — no app, no account, no login. Clinics subscribe to only the modules they use (general practice, aligners, or both); the platform owner switches them on per clinic. AlignFlow is multi-tenant SaaS, role-based, bilingual English / বাংলা, and priced in taka — designed for this market, not ported from a US suite. ## Official URLs - Landing: https://apps.teamzlab.com/alignflow/ - Web: https://alignflow-418508602067.europe-west1.run.app ## SEO keywords - dental practice management software - dental clinic software - dental clinic software bangladesh - dental practice management software south asia - clear aligner practice management software - clear aligner software - dental patient portal - dental appointment software - dental charting software - dental prescription software - dental billing software - dental lab management software - orthodontic practice management software - clear aligner case management - clear aligner refinement tracking - per patient profitability dental clinic - patient portal no login - whatsapp patient communication dental - affordable dental practice management software - bilingual dental software bangla - dental software bangladesh taka - multi clinic dental software - dental inventory management software - modular dental software ## Hero - Headline: Dental Practice Management — Aligner-Strong, Patient-Portal-Led - Subheadline: Run appointments, records, charting, prescriptions, and manual billing — plus clear-aligner cases with live per-patient margin.

Every link is scope-limited, view-only, and revocable. The simplest patient-engagement loop in dental software. ### Live per-patient aligner margin The clear-aligner module shows the real margin on every case — contract price minus actual lab cost, minus the aligners you scrapped on refinements. Closing a case writes off wasted inventory so phantom revenue never inflates your numbers. ### Appointments & patient records Book and track visits, and keep one shared patient record — history notes, demographics, and a timeline — across every module. Add a patient once and they exist everywhere. ### Dental charting & periodontal Record tooth-by-tooth findings and treatments (FDI numbering) and dated periodontal exams with pocket depths. The clinical history a dentist actually needs at the chair. ### Prescriptions & imaging Write multi-drug prescriptions with dose, frequency, and duration, and attach X-rays, photos, and documents to the patient record. Everything in one place per patient. ### Manual billing in ৳ (no gateway) Create invoices and record payments by hand — cash, bKash, or bank — exactly how clinics in this market actually collect money. No card processor to integrate, no per-transaction fee. Each invoice tracks paid versus due. ### Clear-aligner workflow & lab network Batch lab orders across a production board, mid-treatment refinements with automatic write-off of scrapped aligners, and a many-to-many lab network where labs see only a non-identifying case reference — never patient names. ### Modular, multi-tenant, bilingual Subscribe to general practice, the aligner module, or both — the platform owner switches modules on per clinic, so you pay for what you use. Multi-clinic, role-based, fully bilingual English / বাংলা, priced in taka. ## How it works ### Step 1: 1. Switch on the modules you need Run general practice, the clear-aligner module, or the full suite. The interface only shows what your clinic has switched on, so non-technical staff are never overwhelmed. ### Step 2: 2. Work from one shared patient record Add a patient once. Book appointments, chart teeth, write prescriptions, raise invoices, and start an aligner case — all hang off the same patient, with a single history. ### Step 3: 3. Track aligner cases and real margin Order aligners in batches, move them across the production board, handle refinements, and watch the live margin per patient after wasted trays. Settle with your lab manually. ### Step 4: 4. Send the patient a portal link on WhatsApp One tap generates a secure, expiring link. The patient sees their progress, next appointment, and amount due — no login. They share it, and your clinic grows by word of mouth. ## FAQ ### Q: What is AlignFlow? AlignFlow is modular dental practice management software for clinics and labs. The core runs the daily essentials — patients and history, appointments, dental charting, periodontal exams, prescriptions, imaging, inventory, and manual billing. A premium clear-aligner module adds batch lab orders, refinements, and live per-patient margin. A passwordless patient portal lets patients see their progress on WhatsApp with no login. ### Q: Is AlignFlow a full dental PMS like Dentrix or Open Dental? AlignFlow covers the daily essentials a clinic uses every day — appointments, patient records and history, charting, periodontal, prescriptions, imaging, inventory, and manual billing — and it is far cheaper, cloud-based, bilingual, and built for this market. It is not trying to match two decades of every niche feature in legacy suites; it is focused, modern, and strongest where it matters most — aligner economics and patient engagement. You choose the modules you need. ### Q: How does the passwordless patient portal work? Staff generate a secure magic link for a patient and send it over WhatsApp or SMS. The patient opens it and sees only their treatment progress, next appointment, and amount due — no app, no account, no login. The link is high-entropy, scope-limited, view-only, expires automatically, and can be revoked any time. It is the simplest way to keep patients informed, and it grows the clinic by word of mouth. ### Q: How does AlignFlow handle billing and payments? Billing is manual by design. You create invoices and record payments by hand — cash, bKash, or bank transfer — which is exactly how clinics in Bangladesh and South Asia actually collect money. There is no card-payment gateway to integrate and no per-transaction fee. Each invoice tracks paid versus due, and the patient can see their balance on the portal. ### Q: How does the clear-aligner margin tracking work? Each aligner case has a contract price. Every lab order you receive books a real cost against it. When a refinement scraps undelivered aligners, or you close a case, AlignFlow writes off that wasted cost. The margin you see is contract price minus real lab cost minus write-offs — so refinements and scrapped trays, the biggest silent margin leaks in aligner treatment, are finally visible per patient. ### Q: Is AlignFlow available in Bangladesh and in Bangla? Yes. AlignFlow is fully bilingual English / বাংলা and priced in taka, built first for dental practices in Bangladesh and South Asia. The currency, billing model (manual cash/bKash/bank), and workflow are designed for this market rather than ported from a US or EU product. ### Q: Can a dental lab use AlignFlow too, not just a clinic? Yes. A lab is a first-class business in AlignFlow with its own staff, its own inbox of orders routed from the clinics it serves, its own pricing, and its own receivables and settlements. A clinic uses many labs and a lab serves many clinics — a true many-to-many network — and labs never see patient names, only a non-identifying case reference. ### Q: Do I have to use every module? No. AlignFlow is modular. Subscribe to general practice, the clear-aligner module, or the full suite. The platform owner switches modules on per clinic, and the interface hides what you have not enabled — so a general dentist never sees aligner screens, and an aligner-only clinic never sees inventory. You pay for what you use. ### Q: How does AlignFlow compare to Dentrix, Open Dental, or CareStack? They are a different shape of product, not just a different price. A legacy Western suite is twenty years deep and carries workflows this market does not use — insurance claims that do not exist in Bangladesh, and card-gateway billing for payments patients make in cash or bKash. The real cost is training time and English-only screens, not only the licence. AlignFlow is modular instead: one shared patient record, with General Practice and the Clear-Aligner module switched on per clinic, bilingual English / বাংলা, priced in taka, and manual billing by design. It deliberately does less — no insurance module, no card gateway, no aligner CAD — and is strongest where those suites are weakest: live per-patient aligner margin, and a passwordless patient portal patients open on WhatsApp. ### Q: Can Teamz Lab build something like AlignFlow for my clinic or my industry? Yes — AlignFlow is our own product, so the architecture behind it is ours to rebuild for you: multi-tenant SaaS where several businesses share a platform without ever seeing each other's data, real cost and margin tracking, role-based access, a bilingual interface, and a data firewall between parties. That shape fits a diagnostic lab, a physiotherapy chain, a veterinary group, or any two-sided operations business, not only dentistry. We take that work through Teamz Lab on Upwork, where payment sits in escrow until you accept each milestone. ### Q: Is patient data safe? Yes. Clinical and financial records are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and labs are restricted to non-identifying case references. The patient portal sends only a tiny, non-clinical projection (progress, next appointment, amount due) behind a high-entropy expiring token — never the full record. Data is not sold and is not used to train third-party AI models. ## Privacy (from content source) ### Data safety AlignFlow stores clinical and financial records (patients, appointments, charting, prescriptions, aligner cases, invoices, and payments) to run a dental practice. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, labs are limited to non-identifying case references, and the patient portal exposes only a minimal non-clinical projection behind an expiring token. Data is not sold and is not used to train third-party AI models. ### Permissions AlignFlow is a web application and requests only the browser access needed to run — no device permissions beyond a standard browser session. Access to each clinic or lab is limited to its own invited users by role; patients access only their own expiring portal link, with no account. ## Store / monetization (from content; verify on store) - Price: free - In-app purchases: true ## Third-party trademarks Invisalign is a trademark of Align Technology, Inc.

Hire us on Upwork. --- ## Landing page body (full markdown below the fold on site) ## Modular dental practice management — strongest where it matters Most dental software forces a choice: a heavy legacy practice-management suite (expensive, clunky, built for the US) or a single-purpose tool that does one thing. **AlignFlow** is modular. Switch on **General Practice** for the daily essentials, switch on the **Clear-Aligner** module for aligner economics, or run both. You pay for what you use, and staff only ever see the modules their clinic has enabled — so the software never overwhelms a non-technical dentist. Underneath, every module shares **one patient record**. Add a patient when you book an appointment and they are ready for a treatment plan, a prescription, an invoice, or an aligner case — with a single history, no duplicate data entry. ## The feature that grows your clinic: the patient portal The hardest part of running a clinic is keeping patients engaged between visits. AlignFlow's answer is a **passwordless patient portal**. Staff tap "Share with patient," pick what to show, and send a secure link over **WhatsApp**. The patient opens it on their phone and sees their **treatment progress, next appointment, and amount due** — with **no app, no account, and no login**. The link is high-entropy, scope-limited, view-only, and expires on its own; a leaked link shows almost nothing and can be revoked instantly. Patients forward it to family, which is exactly the word-of-mouth that grows a clinic for free. No other dental tool in this market makes patient updates this frictionless. ## The daily essentials, done simply General Practice covers what a clinic touches every day: - **Appointments** — book, track, and complete visits. - **Patient records & history** — one shared record with a clinical-notes timeline. - **Dental charting** — tooth-by-tooth findings and treatments (FDI numbering). - **Periodontal** — dated exams with pocket depths and bleeding. - **Prescriptions** — multi-drug Rx with dose, frequency, and duration. - **Imaging & files** — attach X-rays, photos, and documents to the patient. - **Inventory** — clinic supply stock with low-stock flags. - **Manual billing** — invoices and cash / bKash / bank payments, paid-versus-due per invoice. A deliberate, honest scope: billing is **manual** — there is no card-payment gateway, because clinics here collect in cash, bKash, or bank transfer, and a gateway only adds fees and friction. There is **no insurance module**, because the insurance-billing workflow that bloats Western dental software does not exist in this market. ## The clear-aligner module: see the margin you actually keep Aligner cases lose money in two invisible ways — refinements that scrap undelivered trays, and corrections bundled into a flat fee. AlignFlow makes both visible. Every plan has a contract price; every received lab order books a real cost; every refinement and case-close **writes off** the scrapped trays. The dashboard shows **live per-patient margin** after that waste — `contract price − real lab cost − write-offs`. It is the number a quote can never give you, and the reason an aligner clinic chooses AlignFlow. It is the operations and money layer, **not** aligner CAD — pair it with ArchForm, uLab, or whatever you design in. Orders flow across a production board, and a **many-to-many lab network** lets a clinic use several labs and a lab serve several clinics, with labs seeing only a non-identifying case reference behind a patient-data firewall. ## Built for Bangladesh and South Asia AlignFlow is **bilingual English / বাংলা**, **priced in taka**, multi-clinic, and multi-tenant with a platform-owner console. The language, the money, the manual billing, and the WhatsApp-first patient portal all assume how clinics and labs in this region actually work — not a US workflow with the prices and the gateways swapped out. ## What you are actually choosing between Buying dental software in this market is not a feature comparison, it is a choice between three shapes of product, and the features only matter after you have picked the shape. **A legacy Western practice-management suite** — Dentrix, Open Dental, CareStack, Dolphin and the rest — is twenty years deep. Everything you can think of is in there somewhere, along with a large amount you will never use: insurance claim workflows for a system Bangladesh does not have, card-gateway billing for payments your patients make in cash or bKash, and an interface designed for a receptionist who has been trained on it. The cost is not only the licence. It is the training time, the English-only screens, and the fact that nobody in the building can change anything. **A single-purpose tool** — an aligner planner, a booking widget, a billing app — is cheap and immediately useful, and then you own three of them, none of which share a patient record, so somebody re-types the same person into each. **AlignFlow is the third shape:** one shared patient record underneath, and modules you switch on. Run General Practice alone and it is an appointments-records-charting-prescriptions-billing system with a patient portal. Add the Clear-Aligner module and the same patients gain treatment plans, batch lab orders, refinement write-offs, and live per-patient margin. Nothing is re-entered, and staff never see a screen for a module the clinic has not enabled. Where it deliberately does less: no insurance module, no card gateway, and no aligner CAD. Those are not gaps waiting to be filled — the first two do not apply here, and the third is a different category of software you should keep using alongside this. ## Built by Teamz Lab — and we build this kind of system for other industries AlignFlow is our own product, not a client case study we are allowed to mention. It is here as proof of a specific competence: multi-tenant SaaS where several businesses share a platform but must never see each other's data, with real cost and margin tracking, role-based access, a bilingual interface, and a patient-data firewall between the parties. That shape is not specific to dentistry. The same architecture is what a diagnostic lab, a physiotherapy chain, a veterinary group, a repair workshop, or any two-sided operations business needs. If you are a founder or a clinic owner who wants something like this built, the honest starting points are [MVP app development for non-technical founders](/mvp-app-development-for-non-technical-founders/) if the product does not exist yet, [hire an app developer for a startup](/hire-app-developer-for-startup/) if it does and you need it moved forward, and [AI for business](/ai-integration/) if the expensive part is the manual back-office work rather than the software itself. We take that work through [Teamz Lab on Upwork](https://www.upwork.com/agencies/1904602719490921565/), where payment sits in escrow until you accept the milestone. For a first engagement with a team you have not worked with, that protection matters more than any portfolio page. ## Try the live demo — sign in and look around AlignFlow is live, no signup wall. [Open the live demo](https://alignflow-418508602067.europe-west1.run.app) and sign in as a clinic doctor with **farhana@dhakasmile.test** / **demo1234** to see the dashboard, patients, appointments, aligner cases, and live margin. The demo is seeded with real cases, a connected in-house lab, an independent lab (Bright Labs BD), cross-clinic orders, clinical records, and a working patient-portal link — so every role has something to look at. If you run a dental clinic or lab in Bangladesh or South Asia and you want modern, modular, affordable software that finally puts your patients and your aligner margin in one place, **AlignFlow** is built for that.
