Abstract: A system for providing orthodontic treatment to a patient wherein a general dentist receives direction from a consultant orthodontist. The system includes a network configured to assign the consultant orthodontist to the general dentist. The network includes a central server with a patient database. The patient database includes a first patient's dental record of a first patient and a plurality of additional patients' historical dental records of a plurality of additional patients. The network also includes an analysis and prediction module. The analysis and prediction module is configured to access the first patient's dental record and the plurality of additional patients' historical dental records prior to initiation of treatment of the first patient to compare and contrast similar dental records of the additional patients' historical dental records to the first patient's dental records to predict timing and outcome for dental treatment of the first patient.
