Neural Hive was founded with a bold mission: to democratize access to advanced orthodontic care. The inspiration stemmed from a striking gap in the market global aligner solutions were progressing rapidly, but local practitioners in India and other emerging markets were either forced to adopt costly, rigid international platforms or rely on time-consuming manual methods.

It sets out to bridge this divide by combining deep technology, afford ability, and usability. At the core of Neural Hive’s innovation is Kea, a digital ecosystem that allows orthodontists to plan, simulate, and manage aligner treatments entirely online.

By enabling even Tier II and Tier III towns to access advanced orthodontic workflows, it is delivering true digital transformation in dentistry, standing out in a fragmented market of standalone tools and third-party labs by vertically integrating the entire aligner journey from case submission to treatment planning and in-clinic aligner production.

Its Kea platform provides a browser-based 3D environment where orthodontists can design treatment plans interactively. An embedded module, Kea Connect, adds teledentistry capabilities, enabling live collaboration between doctors and orthodontists. Materials also play a critical role. Through global partnerships, Neural Hive co-developed Flexr tri-laminar aligner sheets, designed for strength, comfort, and predictability.

Combined with AI-driven workflows and doctor oversight, these materials ensure precision and consistency in every treatment. To maintain a competitive edge, it constantly gathers feedback from clinics, refining system usability and adding features like treatment tracking, automated outputs, and dynamic case management. Its pricing strategy is equally adaptive providing affordable entry points for small practices while scaling up benefits for high-volume users.

A Full-Stack Digital Solution Overcoming Challenges

Neural Hive’s ecosystem modernizes every aspect of orthodontic practice through an integrated suite of solutions. The Kea 3D Planning Studio enables real-time visualization and AI-driven validation of treatment simulations, while Kea Connect

facilitates case collaboration, patient video consults, and co-planning.

The Cloud Lab integrates IRIFIC scanners with end-to-end aligner manufacturing for in-clinic delivery, and Flexr sheets ensure aligners offer superior durability, clarity, and patient comfort. Complementing these technologies, its training programs continuously upskill practitioners through webinars, demos, and certifications, creating a comprehensive stack that gives clinics a seamless workflow of planning, patient communication, and manufacturing.

Creating a clinically reliable yet simple platform was not easy. Many dentists were unfamiliar with digital orthodontics or wary of relying on AI. It addressed this by working closely with orthodontists to refine its interface and embed safeguards such as AI rule checks, orthodontist oversight, and version-controlled revisions.

Operationally, building an in house aligner manufacturing setup required tackling engineering and material science challenges. By partnering with global leaders, Neural Hive ensured its products met international standards. Another hurdle was market education, which the company addressed through conferences, webinars, and trial programs to build practitioner confidence.

Core Precision through Team & Technological Innovation

Neural Hive ensures reliability through a triple-review process AI-driven check, orthodontist validation, and prescribing doctor approval. Pre-treatment simulations further enhance patient understanding and acceptance. On the production side, aligners manufactured with Flexr sheets and precision thermoforming ensure predictable outcomes.

The company’s strength lays in its diverse team orthodontists, AI engineers, 3D developers, 3D designers, and operations experts. Together, they ensure that it is as clinically sound as it is technologically advanced. From developing AI-driven segmentation to perfecting aligner sheet materials, the team’s cross-disciplinary expertise drives innovation at every level.

Simplifying Adoption with AI at the Core

Accessibility is central to Neural Hive’s philosophy. Clinics are onboarded through live demos, trial cases, and multilingual support. Kea Connect ensures practitioners are never alone, offering live guidance and peer collaboration. Regular training further lowers the entry barrier for clinics new to digital orthodontics.

It leverages AI across multiple workflows scanning, segmentation, anomaly detection, and movement strategy. Planning times that once took hours can now be completed in less than 20 minutes. With predictive capabilities on the horizon, it aims to forecast stabilization times and treatment duration with greater accuracy but always leaving final control in the hands of doctors.

Future Vision

The platform has already transformed practices. A Mumbai clinic, once dependent on expensive international labs with long delays, scaled up to several monthly cases within 90 days of adopting Neural Hive reducing turnaround time, improving acceptance rates, and enhancing compliance tracking. Looking forward, it plans to launch mobile-based case management, integrate DICOM workflows, enhance real-time AI-powered planning, and expand into international markets like the U.S. and Europe. The long-term vision is clear: to power decentralized, AI assisted orthodontics globally, making world-class digital care accessible to every orthodontist, dentist and patient.
