In this episode of Doc Secret, our guest is Danny Abraham, serial entrepreneur and founder of Orca Dental AI. Drawing inspiration from his father’s orthodontic practice and a passion for technology, Danny shares how he built CephX—an AI-powered dental imaging platform now FDA-cleared and used globally. He explains how AI is transforming orthodontic workflows, reducing time and enhancing clinical insight, while also addressing compliance and regulatory needs for DSOs. Danny dives into the challenges of scaling in a regulated space and how early adoption of dental technology will separate elite practices from the rest.
