Frequently asked questions
topsOrtho scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. topsOrtho is a Mac desktop orthodontic PMS with no public API and no developer portal. Data leaves through report exports to spreadsheets, a vendor managed scheduled export, or a handful of vendor built partner services toggled inside the client.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
topsOrtho is a Mac native orthodontic practice management system from Tops Software covering scheduling, patient flow, treatment charting, insurance e-claims, payments (TopsPay), iPad check in and the Tops DPX patient engagement suite.
Orthodontic practices that prefer the Apple ecosystem, from single location offices to small multi location groups, in the United States and internationally. Front desk staff schedule from seasonal templates, check patients in on iPads and track chair side patient flow; clinicians chart treatment plans; billing staff file e-claims and run TopsPay recurring payments.
The vendor profile on SourceForge claims over 1,300 practices in 25 countries (https://sourceforge.net/software/product/topsOrtho/), and the 2023 Tops DPX release cites customers in 24 countries (https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231002877933/en/Tops-Launches-Tops-DPX-a-One-Stop-Solution-for-Streamlined-Orthodontic-Patient-Engagement); no independent practice count was found.
topsOrtho stores patient demographics and responsible parties, the multi location appointment book and patient flow states, clinical charts and treatment plans, STL and image files, contracts, ledgers and TopsPay transactions, insurance claims and eligibility results, and the Tops DPX messaging and review history.
Tops Software dates to the early 1990s (Tracxn lists a 1992 founding in Atlanta) and its vendor copy says it was founded by orthodontists over twenty years ago.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of October 2026 there is no official topsOrtho MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. topsOrtho doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
