Orthosnap

Orthosnap’s High Precision Clear Aligners are unlike any other clear aligner solution on the market. Why choose Orthosnap? There are several key features that differentiate our aligners from others.

Precision Built:

Most companies make aligners using low-quality 3D printed models which introduce inaccuracies that compromise quality. At Orthosnap, we make our aligners on a high-precision model that’s accurate to 2 microns. That’s over 50x more precise which has a massive impact on the efficiency of tooth movement. It also uses much less plastic which is better for the planet.

Dental Monitoring® Included:

Orthosnap offers the Dental Monitoring® app and scanbox with every case to monitor your progress weekly and guide you through the process. Your provider will receive weekly scans and advise you when to move on to the next step for optimal orthodontic progress. They can also identify issues and intervene instead of waiting weeks until your next visit.

Orthodontic Oversight:

Orthosnap partners with your dental provider to monitor the case for optimal efficiency. You want to straighten your teeth professionally and finish as soon as possible. That’s why our team of engineers and Orthodontists get involved in each and every case to collaborate with your dental provider for optimal results.

Mid-Course Corrections

Nearly all patients undergoing orthodontic treatment will notice that some teeth will not move as planned. Most clear aligner brands address this issue with extra aligners at the end of the original treatment plan, which can add many months to finish your care. With Orthosnap, we instead track your progress weekly and adjust the treatment plan mid-course to minimize this issue and finish your treatment on time.

Crystal Clear Quality:

Compared to other clear aligner brands which have striations on the aligners visible to the human eye, Orthosnap aligners are crystal clear. This visible feature indicates the extreme level of precision on every clear aligner we make.
