description: 'InBrace was the lingual orthodontics brand of Swift Health Systems, Inc.,
  an Irvine, California medical-device company co-founded in 2012 by orthodontists John
  Pham and Hongsheng Tong. Its patented INBRACE Smartwires were programmed from digital
  scans of a patient''s teeth and bonded behind the teeth, moving teeth continuously
  without relying on patient compliance; the product reached market in 2016 and was sold
  to orthodontic practices through a doctor-facing case-submission portal at
  portal.inbrace.com rather than through any public developer program. The company raised
  roughly $70 million in total, including a $45 million Series C led by Vivo Capital with
  Novo Holdings and venBio Partners in 2019. InBrace ceased operations in April 2025,
  citing tightening capital markets and slower-than-expected adoption, leaving providers
  with cases mid-treatment. Its intellectual property, production equipment and
  manufacturing assets were acquired by orthodontist Dr. Scott Schwartz, who relaunched
  the technology in August 2025 as InSmile Braces — an independent company operated by
  Lorelli Technologies and explicitly separate from InBrace. As of this profile inbrace.com
  and portal.inbrace.com 301-redirect wholesale to insmilebraces.com, so no InBrace-origin
  content is served from any host. InBrace never published an API, SDK, developer portal or
  machine-readable specification, and none is served today.'

  detail: >-
    Swift Health Systems, Inc. (InBrace) ceased operations in April 2025 and every path on
    inbrace.com — apex, /.well-known/*, /openapi.json, /llms.txt, /docs, /api — now answers
    HTTP 301 into insmilebraces.com, the site of InSmile Braces, the separate company that
    bought the IP; the surviving portal host is a login-gated React app whose only backend
    is an internal /api/ path, so there is no InBrace-owned contract left to read.
