As we moved beyond the initial focus on data storage, recognizing the need for integrations in all directions, our vision became clearer. Now, the overarching goal was to own the entire workflow, from the initial scan to the final product. With this vision guiding our development efforts, the challenge was to pinpoint the areas with the most significant gaps in the clear aligner manufacturing process and determine the quickest wins. The ultimate goal was to enable users to complete the entire journey from scanning to receiving the final product without leaving the platform – a challenging but aspirational objective. After over two years, we successfully achieved this milestone.

Currently, the platform automates almost the entire workflow, with the design phase requiring the most human intervention. This part, usually handled by orthodontists or dental technicians, is not the easiest to automate. But it’s relatively easy to outsource. The platform facilitates the design outsourcing process, ensuring a smooth and efficient collaboration between users.
