Overjet

Overjet is a Boston-based dental artificial intelligence company that develops software for dentists, dental support organizations (DSOs), dental schools and insurers. Its core technology analyzes dental X-rays to detect, outline and quantify oral disease and anatomy; the company states its platform is FDA-cleared and describes it as the only technology cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to detect, outline and quantify instances of oral disease with millimeter-level precision. The models are trained on millions of cases and accuracy is verified by a team of clinical specialists; across multiple FDA studies, the company reports that almost every general dentist tested was more accurate in detecting cavities and calculus when using Overjet.

The product suite includes Vision AI for radiographic disease and anatomy detection and patient communication, IRIS, an AI-native dental imaging application that auto-populates images into templates and enhances them without cloud storage fees, an automated dental insurance verification product that verifies patient coverage days in advance and returns code-level coverage breakdowns through integrations with more than 1,000 payers, and a Voice AI suite that combines imaging insights with real-time voice documentation, automated charting and visit summaries. Overjet also offers pediatric-focused functionality referenced as Overjet for Kids, and works with dental schools including the University of Florida College of Dentistry and WesternU College of Dental Medicine.

On the payer side, Overjet automates the manual review of dental insurance claims, which the company positions as creating a shared, objective interpretation of radiographs between providers, insurers and patients. The company's stated longer-term goal is a unified standard, or "operating system," connecting diagnosis and treatment with claim review and benefits decisions.

Founding story

Overjet was founded in 2018 when computer scientists from MIT and dentists from Harvard came together to build dental AI, and was incubated at the Harvard Innovation Labs. Cofounder and CEO Wardah Inam holds master's and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT and a bachelor's degree from the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology in Pakistan; she previously was lead product manager at Q Bio and founded uLink. Cofounder and CTO Deepak Ramaswamy also holds a PhD from MIT and had more than seventeen years of experience in computational science; COO Shaju Puthussery, a Boston College graduate, was previously Chief Analytics Officer at DentaQuest.

Business model

Overjet sells AI software to dental providers (individual practices and DSOs), dental education institutions and dental insurance payers, with distinct product lines for clinical imaging, imaging software, insurance verification and voice documentation.

The company markets separate product lines to providers, educators and insurers; sources describe the offerings and buyer segments but do not detail pricing or contract structure.

Traction

At the time of its Series C, Overjet reported serving thousands of dentists across private practices and the largest DSOs in North America and partnering with payers covering more than 120 million members, including the majority of the 10 biggest U.S. dental insurers. Customers cited include Jefferson Dental, Dental Care Alliance, Aligned Dental Partners, Mortenson Dental Partners, CORDENTAL Group and Rodeo Dental & Orthodontics, plus dental schools at the University of Florida and WesternU.

Latest developments

Recent company blog items describe the launch of hard tissue charting and natural voice periodontal charting that completes the chart in real time as providers speak, and IRIS being positioned as the only FDA-cleared AI system for dental image quality checks. The company also promotes an AI Summit in Scottsdale held September 22-24.
