OraFit was preparing a new clear aligner product. The brand was established, but the patient experience needed a digital companion that could support people through treatment.
The challenge was not simply to make an app that looked like OraFit. It needed to anticipate the little questions, reminders and moments that happen between orthodontist visits.
The project needed Figma, so I learned it while I built. I started with a blank wireframe to make sure the experience made sense before worrying about polish. Three weeks later, the prototype was complete and true to the existing brand.
“A tool should never be the reason an idea isn't possible.”Learn it. Build it. Keep moving.
I wanted the app to feel less like a container for information and more like an assistant that stayed with the patient throughout treatment.
Weekly progress photos could become a visual record of the patient's smile changing over time.
A place to capture questions, concerns and observations so they were still there when the next appointment arrived.
Appointments, tray cleaning, treatment progress and the small tasks that are easy to forget.
The established OraFit palette was bright, dimensional and energetic. The app translated that visual language into a product experience with clear hierarchy, approachable navigation and moments that invited interaction.
I also proposed the name OraFit Assist. The client loved it, and it captured exactly what the product was meant to be.
The complete prototype went to the client after three weeks of design and learning on the fly. They approved it without a single change.
The product itself was ultimately discontinued before the app could launch. That part still stings a little. The work remains one of my favorite examples of what can happen when a new problem demands a new skill.
