"The idea for Overjet came from my experience as a patient. Every time I changed dentists, I received different diagnoses and treatment plans, which made me question the consistency of dental assessments," she said in an interview with Center for Data Innovation last January. This mission to revolutionize dental diagnostics has been hailed by EY, one of the world's four largest professional services firms (audit, tax). Launched in 1986, the award recognizes entrepreneurs who are transforming their industry, with distinctions awarded in some sixty countries, both nationally and regionally. Thanks to the analysis of millions of pieces of data, Overjet enables thousands of dental centers in the United States to detect pathologies invisible to the naked eye, and to unify diagnoses, making its CEO the Entrepreneur of the Year in the San Francisco area.
Dubbed "The AI originalist" in the ranking of the 32 most influential personalities in the dental world, Wardah Inam once again makes Overjet shine. The ranking is compiled by Incisal Edge magazine, a quarterly publication for dental professionals read by over 100,000 people. To be singled out in this ranking, which includes leading practitioners, political figures (such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) and heads of major institutions, shows that Wardah Inam is not just a successful entrepreneur, but a driving force redefining the standards of modern dentistry.
By making imaging more legible, more reliable and faster, Overjet improves both the quality of care for patients and the operational efficiency of practices. Valued at $550 million, and already adopted by 5 of the 10 largest U.S. dental insurers, its technology marks a turning point in the modernization of a sector that has long remained on the sidelines of digital transformation.
