Problem
Traditional orthodontic practices often face challenges in treatment planning and aligner manufacturing, leading to increased costs, longer lead times, and reduced control over the final outcome. The reliance on external labs for aligner production can also limit the ability to offer same-day starts and personalized treatment adjustments.
Solution
ArchForm provides a comprehensive platform that empowers orthodontists to design, manufacture, and deliver clear aligners in-house, streamlining the entire orthodontic workflow. The platform features intuitive 3D design software with automated tools for treatment planning, staging, and attachment placement, enabling clinicians to create precise and customized aligner setups. ArchForm supports various aligner production methods, including in-office thermoforming, direct 3D printing with shape-memory polymers, and outsourced manufacturing through ArchForm's robotic factory. By integrating design and manufacturing, ArchForm enables same-day starts, reduces aligner costs by over 50%, and gives orthodontists greater control over treatment outcomes.
Target Audience
ArchForm is designed for orthodontists and dental practices seeking to enhance their in-house aligner production capabilities, reduce costs, and improve clinical control over clear aligner treatments.
