Your Virtual Operatory

Dentists no longer need to worry about running out of operatory space when adding clear aligner therapy to their practice. Managing aligner checks virtually reduces the need for frequent in-office visits and can keep your chair open to other profitable procedures. In fact, utilizing Glidewell Clear Aligners can reduce in-person office visits by up to 89% compared to traditional braces.2 Reducing in-person office visits by such a substantial amount can also lead to up to 3.3 times more production per appointment than other clear aligner services.3

With an average of just three in-person visits per case, Glidewell Clear Aligners offer greater profitability when compared to competitors.

Empowering Patients to Take Charge of Their Smile

More patients accepting treatment means more cases and more profits. Giving your patients control over their progress incentivizes them to follow the alignment plan. They also benefit from fewer in-person appointments. Patients can also expect results sooner than traditional orthodontic platforms, thanks to preempting refinements and regular progress checks with the ScanBox Pro patient monitoring device. 

The ScanBox Pro is a packable patient monitoring device that facilitates high-quality progress photos using the patient’s smartphone.
