Clear Aligner

Aligner technology provider uLab Systems has enabled direct-to-patient shipments for its uSmile aligner product line.

Orthodontic offices will have the option to designate where they want orders shipped after the first fit has been confirmed in an office visit as part of the treatment plan. The option eliminates the need for an additional office visit.
