CA 02292141 1999-12-15
Title: DIAGNOSTIC METHOD ON THE INTERNET
Applicant: John Voudouris
Inventor: John Voudouris
Enclosed please find the online diagnostic method on the
Internet that I wish to patent informally and that I intend to convert
into a product form to benefit the general public's knowledge and
dental health through orthodontic treatment.
Ortho Advice.com is a method by which a busy parent with a
child, or an adult patient obtains an orthodontic consultation with a
certified orthodontic professional within the comfort of their home
without ever leaving home.
The patient logs onto OrthoAdvice.com site and reviews the
credentials of the orthodontists) including his professional degrees,
professional achievements, clinical experience, professional office
location and other information.
After completing confidentially a medical-dental patient
history form, the patient is able to request over the website (for a
small fee) that a photographic record be taken of their child in the
presence of the parent at all times by a mobile professional
photographer using a special digital camera. These photographs
consist of three facial and at least 5 dental photographs including
"top" views of the upper and lower dental arches. The photoimages
can also be transferred by a pre-mounted video camera on the
patient's computer.
The digital photoimages are then downloaded to the Ortho
Advice.com site for review by the orthodontic specialist for the
preliminary opinion as to the type of treatment. ( retainer or braces
needed) amount of time required for treatment and the professional
fees. Other information can be provided including the type of
retainer needed and the treatment to maintain the alignment, special
dietary consideration and other instructions needed for braces.


CA 02292141 1999-12-15
If the patient is pleased with the free opinion they can next log
directly on the specific orthodontist's site to ask any further
questions or to make an appointment for the assembly of the further
orthodontic records required such as diagnostic radiographs, study
models, and bite registration. This initial online diagnostic method
can be licensed to other orthodontists worldwide to be used as a
form of educating the busy public of the possibilities of improving
their dental health through orthodontic treatment.
With over 8,000 Orthodontists worldwide and a greater access
to orthodontic treatment with OrthoAdvice.com, the market for this
technology is enormous. I am convinced that since numerous
Orthodontists already have websites worldwide for patients this is
simply an excellent extension of service for patients that is
completely innovative.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could please contact me if
you should have any further questions regarding the informal patent
process. Thank you kindly.
