Connect your lab's Medit Link account once. When a dentist sends you an order in Medit Link, SimpleLabOS creates the case with the teeth, restorations, material, shade, due date and STL scans that Medit shares, and accepts the order in Medit when your team starts work.
Use lab software that connects to Medit Link through Medit's official API. In SimpleLabOS, a lab owner or manager signs in to the lab's Medit Link account under Settings → Integrations → Scanners. From then on, each new Medit order arrives as a case, usually within a minute, with the prescription details and scan files Medit shares. If Medit holds the prescription back until a lab accepts the order, the case is saved as a draft: add the patient and teeth, move it into production (which accepts the order in Medit), and the scan files are copied in. Nobody re-types what Medit already shares, and nobody downloads and re-uploads the STLs.
Available on every SimpleLabOS plan. There is no extra fee from SimpleLabOS for the connection.
Taken from the mapping code that runs in production, field by field.
| Field | Status | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Doctor / clinic | Filled in automatically | Matched to an existing doctor by the clinic's contact name at the same clinic. If there is no match, a new doctor is created so the order is never lost. |
| Patient name | Needs a quick check | Filled in when the clinic ticks "Share patient name" in Medit Link, or taken from a case name like "Jane Doe's Case". Otherwise the case is saved as a draft until you add the name. |
| Due date | Filled in automatically | From the delivery date the clinic chose, in your lab's time zone. |
| Teeth | Filled in automatically | Medit's FDI tooth numbers are converted to Universal numbering. |
| Restoration per tooth | Filled in automatically | Crowns, pontics, inlays, onlays, veneers, implant crowns, custom abutments, copings and post & cores each become a line on the case. |
| Dentures | Filled in automatically | Full and partial dentures arrive as a removable case. |
| Material and shade | Filled in automatically | Taken from the order, with Medit's shade codes cleaned up (for example A2). |
| Other items | Needs a quick check | Night guards, models, aligners and surgical guides have no restoration type, so they are listed in the case notes for you to price. |
| Clinic's instructions | Filled in automatically | The order description and the Medit order number are copied into the case notes. |
| Scan files | Filled in automatically | Medit sends scans as a 7z archive. Each STL model is unpacked, stored on the case and opens in the built-in 3D viewer. An archive too large to copy (over 170 MB) stays in Medit Link, and you get a notification to download it there. |
Medit lets a lab do one thing with an order: accept it (or reject it). SimpleLabOS handles the accept for you.
When the case moves into production (or any later stage), SimpleLabOS accepts the order in Medit Link, so the dentist sees it was taken on.
If the clinic cancels the order in Medit Link, your team gets a notification on the case, and SimpleLabOS will not accept it.
If an order is no longer available in Medit Link when SimpleLabOS next checks it, the case gets a notification so nobody keeps working on it by mistake.
Lab owners and managers can see the Scanners section.
You are sent to Medit's own sign-in page. Sign in with the Medit Link account your dentists send orders to, and approve access.
New orders start arriving as cases. Orders created after you connect are imported, plus any order from the last 30 days that you have not accepted yet.
Medit can hold back the prescription and scan files until the lab accepts the order. The case is then saved as a draft with the clinic, order number and due date, plus a note saying the details are on their way. Add the patient and teeth, move the case into production (which accepts the order in Medit), and the scan files are copied in automatically.
Medit asks connected apps to renew the sign-in every 30 days. SimpleLabOS reminds you 5 days and 1 day before it ends, in the app and by email. Reconnecting is one click and a Medit sign-in.
SimpleLabOS only accepts orders. If you want to reject one, do it in Medit Link.
Scans come from Medit into SimpleLabOS. Finished designs are not sent back to Medit Link.
If your plan's case limit for the month is reached, the order is not imported and you get a notification to upgrade or add it by hand.
SimpleLabOS also connects directly to DS Core (Dentsply Sirona).
SimpleLabOS has no direct connection to iTero or 3Shape; for those, cases are created from the scanner notification emails.
Yes. SimpleLabOS connects directly to Medit Link through Medit's official API. Orders your dentists send in Medit Link arrive as cases with the prescription details and STL scans, and the order is accepted in Medit when the case goes into production.
Every plan, including Starter, and during the free trial. There is no extra fee from SimpleLabOS for the connection.
Medit notifies SimpleLabOS when an order arrives, so it usually appears within a minute. A background check every 10 minutes catches anything that was missed.
Usually not. The scan files are copied onto the case automatically and open in the built-in 3D viewer. If Medit holds them back until the order is accepted, they are copied once your team moves the case into production. Only an archive over 170 MB has to be downloaded from Medit Link, and you get a notification when that happens.
Medit limits how long a connected app stays signed in. SimpleLabOS warns you 5 days and 1 day before the sign-in ends, and reconnecting is one click and a Medit sign-in.
Connect Medit Link on day one of your trial and let the next order build its own case.
