Privacy Policy & Patient Data Governance

1. Information We Collect

To provide tailored orthodontic alignment and general dental care, High On Smile collects relevant personal and clinical information when you schedule consultations or undergo clinical evaluations at our studio:

• Identity & Contact Information: Name, phone number, email address, age, gender, and residential locality.
• Clinical Dental Records: Intraoral digital 3D scans, dental radiographs (OPG, bitewings, periapical x-rays), facial aesthetic photographs, orthodontic bite models, and clinical examination notes.
• Medical & Dental History: Pre-existing systemic conditions (diabetes, cardiovascular history, bone disorders), bleeding tendencies, current medications, drug allergies, and past oral surgeries or orthodontic procedures.
• Inquiry & Appointment Details: Treatment preferences submitted through our website or direct WhatsApp consultations.

2. How Your Clinical Data Is Utilized

All patient information collected by High On Smile is used exclusively for legitimate healthcare purposes:

• Formulating personalized orthodontic treatment simulations and clear aligner staging plans.
• Executing precise restorative dentistry, dental implants, surgical extractions, and root canal therapy.
• Transmitting secure digital STL impression files to certified dental laboratories and clear aligner fabrication facilities under strict non-disclosure agreements.
• Scheduling consultation visits, appointment reminders, and follow-up care checks.
• Maintaining statutory healthcare records in accordance with Indian dental council guidelines.

3. 3D Digital Scans & Clinical Photography

Orthodontic treatment requires high-resolution intraoral scanning and facial profile photography for millimeter-exact tooth movement calculations.

De-Identified Educational Use: Before-and-after smile transformation photographs or 3D digital bite simulations may occasionally be presented for patient educational demonstrations or clinical case presentations only with prior verbal or written patient consent, and with all identifying facial markers de-identified. Patients may withdraw consent for visual case demonstration at any time.

• You acknowledge that WhatsApp operates under Meta’s end-to-end encryption protocols.
• We use WhatsApp solely for one-on-one studio communication, post-treatment care reminders, and appointment scheduling.
• We do not send unsolicited commercial spam or distribute your contact number to third-party marketing companies.

We employ physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal and clinical records:
