The story
Dandy (formerly Orthly) is a vertically-integrated digital dental lab targeting private practices, group practices, and DSOs. Its core commercial model is hardware-as-a-loss-leader: it provides free intraoral scanners (Dandy Vision or 3Shape Trios 5) in exchange for monthly lab spend minimums (~$800-$2,500/month). Revenue comes from lab services (crowns, bridges, dentures, aligners, implants) manufactured in-house in Utah and Texas. Recently pushed into DSO analytics with Dandy Hub/Insights and AI design tooling.
