Summary
Gap analysis identified orthodontic specialist preferences, guiding the design of the OrthoAnalysis app. This strategic approach resulted in high user satisfaction, demonstrating its value for developing engaging clinical applications.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Software Development
- User Experience Research
Background:
- Professional orthodontic apps require high user engagement for successful adoption.
- Understanding user preferences is crucial for developing effective clinical applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess if gap analysis can facilitate strategic design for professional orthodontic apps.
- To evaluate user satisfaction with a newly developed orthodontic app.
Main Methods:
- Gap analysis was performed to identify user preferences.
- The OrthoAnalysis app was developed for Android using Java.
- A survey assessed satisfaction among 128 orthodontic specialists.
Main Results:
- Content was the most critical factor for user engagement.
- Key app traits include accuracy, trustworthiness, speed, ease of use, and an appealing interface.
- The gap analysis-informed design led to high satisfaction levels across nine traits.
Conclusions:
- Gap analysis effectively identified orthodontic specialist preferences for app development.
- The OrthoAnalysis app achieved high user satisfaction, validating the design approach.
- A strategic initial plan using gap analysis is recommended for creating engaging clinical apps.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
