Wondering what a OralX™ report looks like? See a sample report
See the microbial life inside your mouth
A simple at-home saliva sample gives you sequencing-derived context on your oral microbial community and its diversity — the foundation of a healthy mouth and part of your whole-body picture. Educational insights, not a diagnosis.
OralX profiles your oral microbiome and translates the sequencing signal into structured wellness insight with visible confidence cues — and a clear line between insight and diagnosis.
Derived from sequencing data. Educational and wellness-oriented — not a dental or medical assessment.
Your mouth is an ecosystem — meet the community living there
OralX™ helps users explore oral microbial composition, diversity and oral–gut context through a structured report pathway.
Your mouth hosts one of the most diverse microbial communities in your body, and its balance shifts with everyday habits. OralX™ reads a single saliva-based sample using DNA sequencing to map your oral microbial composition and diversity, then translates it into clear, everyday-language context you can actually use.
We kept OralX™ focused on purpose, so the results stay easy to interpret:
Sequencing-derived oral microbiome features — the microbial community patterns present in your saliva sample
Diversity and composition context — how varied and balanced your oral ecosystem looks
Oral–gut axis context — a window into how your mouth connects to your broader wellness picture
Optional VAMS ATLAS™ interpretation — layered, plain-language context when you want to go deeper
OralX™ is designed for understanding and wellness awareness — it does not diagnose, treat, or detect any dental or medical condition.
Designed for educational microbiome interpretation. It is not intended to replace professional judgement.
What OralX™ can help you understand
OralX™ focuses on oral microbial composition, biofilm-associated ecology and oral–gut context where compatible.
OralX explains what this test measures from your selected sample workflow, and how those sequencing-derived observations are organised for reading.
OralX™ summarizes oral microbial ecology. Final module availability depends on sample workflow, sequencing tier, intelligence level and data quality.
What you receive with OralX™
Physical kit, digital report access and optional intelligence layers are separated clearly so users know what is shipped and what is interpreted.
Every OralX™ order includes a home collection pathway and secure report access. ATLAS™ modules are displayed based on selected sequencing tier and report level.

Choose the data depth before you choose the interpretation layer.
Sequencing determines the type and resolution of microbiome data generated. ATLAS™ determines how compatible outputs are organized and interpreted.
OralX™ supports sequencing pathways based on product and sample workflow compatibility. Each tier changes resolution and interpretability; it does not change the purpose of the page into medical assessment.
16S Foundation™
Foundational microbial composition and diversity for baseline ecosystem profiling.
WGS Advanced™
Species-level detail and functional pathway context based on genomic potential where available.
MetaT Functional™
RNA-derived microbial activity context where supported by sample workflow and laboratory method.
Choose how much interpretation you want
Every OralX™ order includes your Microbiome Profiling Report. Packages add ATLAS™ interpretation — pick the depth that fits, and upgrade any time after your results.
Packages are separate from sequencing depth. Sequencing decides what data is generated; your package decides how much interpretation is unlocked. Most people start with ATLAS Core.
- ✓ Essential Profile — your Microbiome Profiling Report: composition, diversity, top taxa and method notes.
- ✓ ATLAS Core (recommended) — adds the ATLAS Intelligence Report, your Oral Foundation Pack, core scores, essential panels and confidence indicators.
- ✓ ATLAS Plus — expanded intelligence, enhanced score detail, Insight Pack credits and longitudinal readiness.
- ✓ Professional Insight — a separate practitioner and research add-on.
ATLAS™ Intelligence Layer

Common questions about OralX™
Clear answers for choosing sequencing depth, ATLAS™ interpretation, Insight Packs and repeat testing.
Straightforward answers on OralX, from what is measured to how to read the results responsibly.
What does OralX™ measure?
OralX™ summarizes sequencing-derived patterns in oral microbial composition, relative abundance, diversity and oral ecosystem context.
Which sequencing tier should I choose?
Choose 16S Foundation™ for baseline composition and diversity, WGS Advanced™ for broader taxonomic and functional pathway context, or MetaT Functional™ for microbial activity context where available.
What does ATLAS™ add?
ATLAS™ adds structured scores, scientific panels, confidence indicators, tracking views and optional Insight Packs where compatible.
Are Insight Packs included by default?
No. Insight Packs are optional modules shown during configuration when product, sequencing tier and report level compatibility support them.
Can I compare results over time?
Yes, repeat testing can support longitudinal comparison when the same reporting structure is available.
Does OralX™ provide personal medical advice?
No. It is designed for educational microbiome interpretation and should not be used as a substitute for professional guidance.

What each sequencing depth can — and can’t — tell you
Sequencing depth decides what biological data exists; it doesn’t decide what your results mean. 16S Foundation™ reads composition, diversity and community structure. WGS Advanced™ adds species-level and genomic pathway-potential context. MetaT Functional™ adds RNA-derived expression-context where the workflow and quality support it. We label every output with the method behind it.
Baseline composition & diversity

Species-level & genomic potential
Can tell you
- ✓Species-level resolution

- –Direct metabolite measurement
RNA expression-context

- –Direct metabolite quantification
- –Clinical diagnosis of any condition
What your results can mean — and what they can’t
What this can mean: a clearer picture of your oral microbial composition, diversity and ecological context, with confidence cues that show how strongly each pattern should be read. What this cannot mean: a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prediction of disease. OralX™ is evidence-led wellness interpretation — designed to inform good questions, not replace professional care.
Sequencing-derived and educational. Not a diagnosis; read alongside symptoms, history and a clinician where relevant.
Not sure which depth or package is right?
Choosing between sequencing depths and packages is the part most people pause on. Take the two-minute quiz for a tailored OralX™ recommendation, or send us a question and our team will help you choose — no pressure, no overclaiming.
ATLAS™ turns your sequencing into readable scores and panels — Insight Packs group those into guided, optional themes you can add when you want to go deeper.
Responsible interpretation
Wellness education, with the limits shown
Educational, not diagnostic
VAMS BIOME reports are wellness education — they describe your microbiome, not a medical diagnosis or treatment.
Method-bounded
What can be inferred depends on the sequencing method (16S / WGS / MetaT) and sample quality. Boundaries are shown, not hidden.
Context, not certainty
Microbiome patterns describe context and association, read against reference cohorts with confidence indicators — not proof of cause.
Professional care
For symptoms or clinical decisions, speak with a qualified healthcare professional. Reports support understanding; they do not replace medical advice.
OralX™ is not a dental examination and does not diagnose periodontal disease, caries, infection, or oral medical conditions.
