Recognition marks Dr. Inam’s second inclusion on Incisal Edge’s annual list
Dr. Wardah Inam, CEO and co-founder of Overjet, has been named one of Incisal Edge’s Top 32 Most Influential People in Dentistry, in recognition of Dr. Inam’s continued leadership in moving the dental industry forward and contributions in pioneering transformational AI technologies that advance patient care. Now in its sixth year, the annual list recognizes the innovators and movers and shakers who are making a dramatic impact in driving dentistry forward.
“I’m honored by Incisal Edge’s inclusion, which is really a recognition of the incredible work the team at Overjet is doing in advancing patient care through continued dental innovations in AI,” said Dr. Inam.
Under Dr. Inam’s leadership, 2022 saw a year of extraordinary growth and momentum for Overjet, most recently securing a landmark second FDA clearance. Today, Overjet’s revolutionary products are used not only by some of the largest dental groups like Dental Care Alliance, Mortenson Dental Partners, and Jefferson Dental & Orthodontics but also by some of the major insurance carriers to more efficiently process claims, covering 75 million Americans. Amid the explosive customer demand for its FDA-cleared dental AI software, Overjet raised nearly $70 million in 2021, catapulting the company to a $425 million valuation. Since founding Overjet in 2018, Dr. Inam has built Overjet into a global leader in dental AI solutions that is on a quest to improve oral health by creating a future that is clinically precise, efficient, and patient-centric.
