Many of you today are trying to figure out how to integrate artificial intelligence into your business, thinking about boosting productivity, improving outcomes, accelerating growth, increasing profits, and reducing costs. I know the feeling. I was there a few years ago, and let me tell you, it’s overwhelming.
There are so many tools, endless opportunities, and constant pressure to move fast, adopt, integrate, train, deploy, all while keeping everything else in your business running smoothly.
But that’s nothing new. Every wave of technological advancement has looked and felt like this. The chaos, the excitement, the disruption, this is our new normal, right? But this time, with AI, we’re no longer talking about just a wave. We’re talking about an avalanche this time.
Just when you think you've made progress, a new AI model launches, another tool is released, or a fresh company enters the space. The more you try to catch up, the more it feels like you're falling behind. So, what did we do? We pressed pause.
Not on innovation, but on rushing the process. We redirected our energy away from chasing and integrating AI toward building deep foundational knowledge. We committed to understanding the core workflows behind AI so we could master the technology and not just use it.
Think of it this way: you wouldn’t buy a car before learning how to drive it. Driving is a skill developed through a long-established process, theory, classes, guided practice, a licensing exam, and a probation period with close monitoring. Why? Because the car is powerful and dangerous if used irresponsibly. AI is no different.
We didn’t stop investing in AI, we actually increased our investments. But we shifted our goal, instead of just improving solutions, we focused on designing a new architecture that supports long-term innovation. We reimagined our purpose.
“What do we really want to achieve through our products and services in this future world?”
“How do we build solutions that enhance human expertise, the one thing AI can’t replicate?”
In essence, we started rebuilding the system, “a hybrid reconstruction”, where human intelligence and AI work together by design. Before we adopt it, we must understand it. Before we rely on it, we must learn to use it wisely. That’s how we approach AI in our new Ortho.i® AI-powered Educational System.
A New Chapter in Orthodontic Education
As a leader in digital orthodontics education, we’ve spent years developing and refining AI prototypes behind the scenes. We didn’t rush to implement them. We tested, evaluated, and studied until we were ready to integrate them into our everyday educational solutions.
Now, we're proud to introduce a new paradigm. We’ve reimagined what orthodontic education can look like in the AI era, and we’ve created a fully AI-integrated learning methodology. Welcome to Ortho.i® Sprint.
We are glad to announce our cutting-edge, in-person training program built on a proprietary AI-powered educational methodology developed by Dr. Adriano Araujo. With more than 20 years of experience onboarding doctors and practices to new technologies, Dr. Araujo brings deep insight into what truly works. This program isn’t just about learning AI. It’s about rethinking how we learn orthodontics and integrate it into a future practice.
Our first mission is simple: educate professionals, not just in tools, but in AI fluency and mindset.
Our goal is to help professionals understand the principles behind the technology before they invest heavily in tools or platforms, and most importantly, before they start to use AI systems that may impact their clinical performance as orthodontists as well.
We have learned that true transformation starts from within. Like learning to drive, before you step into the vehicle, you need the desire, the theory, the practice, and the responsibility to take control. We’ll guide you through the core concepts of AI, not just by talking, but by letting you interact with the systems. You’ll learn by doing. You’ll reflect, analyze, and design alongside our learning methodology. And most importantly, you’ll walk away equipped to co-create your own personalized strategies.
Customized Learning for a Personalized Era
Our methodology is built around customization because that’s the future of education. One day, we’ll look back and wonder how standardized education lasted as long as it did. Ortho.i® Sprint adapts to the learner. Because before you implement any new technique, software, scanner, or platform, the first thing you need is the right mindset.
We asked ourselves: “How can we help doctors learn in a way that accelerates true integration and deliver real-world improvements?”
Here’s our answer: Immersion.
Ortho.i Sprint provides a deeply immersive learning environment designed to fast-track professional growth. In this dynamic setting, doctors have the opportunity to explore the fundamental principles of AI in orthodontics, develop customized strategies tailored to their individual practices, and experiment with real-life prototypes that align with their clinical goals. What typically takes months to learn and apply with a full team of experts can now be mastered in just a few days, thanks to the intensity and precision of this innovative educational hybrid experience with human and machines.
If the past 20 years have taught us anything, it’s that onboarding professionals to innovations like clear aligners or digital workflows is no easy task. We’ve faced the resistance, the costs, the quality gaps, and the learning curves. That’s exactly why our new educational ecosystem was created from scratch, to solve these challenges head-on.
And Ortho.i® Sprint isn’t just another course, it’s a shift in how you approach your practice, your business, and your purpose.
By blending ancient teaching wisdom, modern scientific understanding, and generative AI orthodontics, this program equips you with the tools to navigate and lead in today’s rapidly evolving world. It empowers you to future-proof your business, embrace innovation with responsibility and confidence, and design a practice rooted in purpose.
More than just technical skills, we help you create more meaningful work and cultivate a life of greater clarity, alignment, and impact. Before technology comes mindset. Before acceleration comes understanding. And the good news is that Ortho.i® Sprint is just one piece of the innovation puzzle within the complete Ortho.i® Educational AI-powered System, and we’re excited to share much more in the months ahead.
Welcome to Ortho.i® Sprint. Your Reconstruction as Orthodontist. Designed to help you step boldly into the AI era, with confidence, clarity, and care.
