Stop Re-Typing iTero Orders: A Guide to Automating Lab Intake

The "Double Entry" Problem

Here's a familiar scene:

1. You get an email: "New Case from Dr. Smith (iTero)"
2. You log into MyAlignTech.
3. You write down the patient name, tooth number, and due date on a sticky note.
4. You walk over to your whiteboard or open Excel.
5. You type it all in again.

We call this the "Swivel Chair Interface." It's slow, boring, and it's where a lot of lab errors happen. (Ever typed "tooth #13" when the Rx said "#31"?)

Why Direct Integration is Hard

Big software companies charge thousands for "API Integration" with scanners. Or they require the doctor to click extra buttons, which they won't do.

The Smart "Backdoor" Solution: Email Parsing

Every scanner (iTero, 3Shape, Medit) sends a notification email. That email contains all the data you need.

SimpleLabOS Universal Inbox acts like a smart assistant. It reads those notification emails and automatically creates a case card on your Kanban board.

• Patient Name? Extracted.
• Pan Number? Extracted.
• Rx Details? Attached to the case.

You start your day with cases already in your system. No typing necessary.
