Neural X Software Systems

Clinical problems, solved in software.

NXS designs and builds software for orthodontics and dental education. Specified by a practising orthodontist, built since 2000, and used by thousands of clinicians worldwide.

What we build

From the cephalogram to the campus.

Diagnostic tools, 3D planning, teaching software and the systems institutions run on. Each one started as a problem we met in the clinic or the classroom.

Diagnosis & analysis

Cephalometric tracing and analysis, model analysis and skeletal-maturity staging, on phone, tablet and desktop.

cephalometrics · model analysis · CVM

3D & surgical planning

A toolkit for intraoral and model scans: view, measure, segment and plan, including orthognathic surgical planning.

STL · PLY · measurement · planning

Treatment mechanics

Chairside references and helpers for bracket prescriptions and appliance mechanics, quick to check mid-appointment.

prescriptions · charts · chairside

Learning

E-learning apps and the postgraduate toolkit: case history with photo analysis, collages, cephalometrics and reports.

e-learning · PG toolkit · case records

Institutions

Campus apps, staff data portals and public websites for dental colleges: built fast, owned by the institution, easy to keep current.

e-campus · portals · websites

Practice & research data

Clinic and patient databases, case records and research datasets, including integrity checks for 3D scan data.

Why NXS

AI made building software cheap. Knowing what to build didn't get any cheaper.

Anyone can generate code now. In clinical software, the scarce parts are the three that come before and after it, and they're where NXS is strongest.

01

Knowing what to build

Decades at the chair and in the classroom. We know where time is lost, where students struggle and where a measurement can mislead, because we meet those problems every week.

02

Judging whether it's right

Clinical rigour, not demos: checks against established methods, blinded testing and limits stated openly. Our name stands behind every output.

03

Getting it adopted

Tools designed to be trusted by clinicians, colleges and professional bodies: offline where it matters, no recurring costs, original records never altered.

A generic developer doesn't know the domain. Most clinicians can't build. NXS is both, and has been for 26 years.

Approach

Most clinical software is built by engineers who interview clinicians. We work the other way round.

01

Clinician-specified

Every tool starts from a real case in a real clinic. Behaviour, inputs and outputs are written down before any code.

02

Validated, not just shipped

Measurements are checked against established methods, and our cephalometric work has been tested in published studies.

03

Private by design

Work stays on the device wherever possible. We collect only what a feature needs, and we say exactly what that is.

04

Built to last

Plain file formats, few dependencies, low upkeep. Software we wrote in 2012 still runs a clinic every working day.

05

AI-accelerated, clinician-verified

We use modern AI coding tools to go from idea to working prototype in days, not months. Every measurement, workflow and output is still specified and checked by a clinician.

Story

A new studio with a 26-year head start.

  1. 2000

    First programs

    Self-taught: C, then Visual Basic. Small tools for the clinic and the department.

  2. 2001

    On the web

    Websites from hand-written HTML to Joomla, Drupal, MediaWiki and WordPress.

  3. 2005–12

    Clinic databases

    C#/.NET database applications for patient records and practice management, used across several clinics. The 2012 system is still in daily use.

  4. 2010s

    Cephalometrics, desktop to touch

    A .NET desktop cephalometric program, re-imagined for touch and ported to Android. Over 10,000 users worldwide and validated in published research.

  5. 2020s

    The postgraduate toolkit

    Case history with photo analysis, collages, cephalometrics and a 3D scan viewer, used routinely by four postgraduate batches. Alongside it: apps for model analysis, CVM staging, bracket prescriptions, e-learning and campus life.

  6. 2026

    NXS today

    A 3D toolkit with surgical planning, institutional websites and data portals, and research tooling for scan data. Built with TypeScript, Rust, Python and the cloud, and with AI-assisted engineering, which lets a small clinical team move at the pace of a much larger one. Held to the same clinical standards.

Clinician. Developer. Teacher.

An orthodontist with a busy private practice, a professor who trains postgraduates, and a developer since 2000. Each role sharpens the others: the clinic finds the problems, teaching tests the answers, and code turns them into tools.

That is the leverage. There's no translation layer between the person who sees the problem and the person who builds the fix.
