Dolphin Imaging & Management

  • Dolphin Imaging and Management publishes no online pricing for its orthodontic imaging and practice-management software; the vendor's own site (dolphinimaging.com) offers only a phone number and a Contact/Email form, with product pages rendered by client-side data bindings that never expose a price list.

Apteryx

  • Apteryx is now sold as the cloud imaging product inside the Planet DDS portfolio rather than as a standalone vendor
  • No price is published for Apteryx cloud imaging; Planet DDS routes all pricing enquiries to sales or a demo request
  • Practice management is a separate purchase, Denticon or Cloud 9, so imaging alone does not cover charting and billing
