Challenge

Orthodontists need physical models for treatment planning, retainer fabrication, and patient communication. Traditional stone models are slow and storage-intensive.

Solution

Align's iTero scanning ecosystem connects directly to SLA/DLP printers at dental offices and centralised Align facilities, enabling same-day digital models without impression materials.

Outcomes

01Full digital workflow — no impression materials; same-day models

Technologies

Stereolithography

Source

Part of the Align Digital Platform; millions of iTero scans per year driving AM output
