Smilers Aligners
Smilers are orthodontist-planned, scallop-cut aligners that are highly transparent and more stain resistant, and feature a convenient open file system
Sometimes, a name fits a product like a welltailored suit, a fact perfectly illustrated with the introduction of Smilers Aligners from Biotech Dental. A unique orthodontist-planned aligner therapy that uses an open scan fi le system, Smilers are more transparent and stain resistant than other brands. Smilers Aligners can lead to straighter and more beautiful smiles for patients—and the clinicians who treat them.
“All Smilers treatment plans are prepared by orthodontists,” explained Doug Stetz, Brand Director, Orthodontics, at Biotech Dental. “This helps dentists have more clinical confidence when starting a patient in treatment.” Open Aligner System In a nod toward ultimate provider convenience, Smilers uses an open system, which means it accepts scan fi les from all intraoral scanners—providing busy practices with both time and cost efficiencies.
“This is a key advantage with Smilers because we will accept any digital scan from any intraoral scanner,” Stetz said. “We give the doctors the freedom to choose whatever scanner will work best in their practice, unlike the competition that forces you to use specific units to treat with their aligners.”
In addition, Smilers Aligners can be offered to patients for the same fees as most other aligner plans.
Smilers are made in 3 thicknesses, further customizing the aligner fit depending on planned movements, chewing strength, and patient comfort. DICOM and .STL files can be overlayed for root segmentation to encourage predictable outcomes.
1.5M+ Wearers Worldwide
While Smilers are new to the U.S., they are not new to the rest of the world, as more than 1.5 million have been worn worldwide. Made in France, Smilers are scallop cut, enabling more predictable and controlled forces. Made of BPA-free PETG plastic, Smilers are incredibly clear, while their high strength allows for greater expansion and a decreased need for IPR.
“Each aligner is hand-trimmed, polished, and disinfected prior to shipping,” said Stetz. “We take great pride in ensuring that every aligner is the highest quality for patients' treatment and comfort.”
Dentists have the freedom to create and position attachments, and they can also modify the treatment timeline by adjusting the steps and length of treatment.
“Our orthodontist-designed treatment plans give dentists the clinical confidence needed to treat every class of malocclusions,” Stetz added. “The easy-to-use doctor portal and a full suite of marketing materials, along with our high-quality aligners, allow clinicians to obtain the precise clinical outcome they desire.”
