Bridging high-speed CAD automation with seasoned biomechanical oversight
Orthodontic CAD software will let a technician move teeth anywhere in 3D space, but the periodontium, the cortical plate and the soft tissues limit how far teeth can safely move. At Alignodontic DPS planned movements are checked against those physiological limits, which helps reduce the risk of root resorption, dehiscences and tracking failures. No plan can remove those risks entirely; the treating clinician's assessment and monitoring remain essential.
Biological staging protocols
Realistic velocity sequencing designed to reduce the risk of posterior intrusion and anterior tracking failure.
Aligner failure rescue
Troubleshooting open bites created by anterior rebound or faulty tracking mechanics, and planning the recovery.

Case metrics
Seamless in-house printing
Universal multi-printer ready files
Exported models are manifold-closed meshes that nest straight into common dental slicing software. No manual mesh repair, no non-manifold edges, and hollowed geometry built into every file rather than added afterwards.
Printer-ready meshes
Watertight, oriented and based for whichever resin printer and slicer your laboratory runs.
Stage and case embossing
Clear tactile text on the model base so stages are never mixed up during thermoforming.
Resin-saving hollows
Hollowed to the wall thickness your laboratory specifies, with drainage ports for resin recovery.
Organized ZIP bundling
Numbered folder trees, for example /Maxillary/U_Stage_01_BaseHollow.stl, under the case number.
Illustrative manifest. Every stored file carries its SHA-256 hash in the case record.
Case tracking from intake to delivery
The 6-step digital planning workflow
From digital impression intake to print-ready STL manufacturing files delivered into your lab queue.
- 01
Submit digital scans
Upload STL, OBJ or PLY files through the secure portal. Attach intraoral photographs, a cephalometric radiograph or CBCT DICOM where the case needs them. A case number is issued straight away.
- 02
Rapid case assessment
On intake the triage team checks scan quality, occlusal registration and missing contact anatomy, and comes back to you if anything would hold the plan up.
- 03
CAD precision planning
Dedicated CAD technicians segment the arches, build the setup to your prescription, check for collisions, place attachments and stage the movements at safe velocities.
- 04
Clinical orthodontic review
On the ortho-reviewed tier a licensed orthodontist audits the movement table, anchorage balance, biological limits and IPR feasibility before the plan is sent.
- 05
Interactive 3D viewer and revisions
Open the setup in your browser on any device. Comment on a tooth, a stage or a contact, request changes, or approve. Each revision is a new numbered version.
- 06
Final production STL delivery
Download print-ready hollowed models, attachment template files and the IPR schedule under the same case number. The 8-hour fast track is available on request.
Digital planning services FAQ
- How does the 8-hour turnaround work?
- The expedited track can be requested on the CAD Designer and Ortho-Reviewed tiers and may carry a supplement. The case goes to the CAD team on shift in the active time zone, and the staging, the interactive 3D review link and the PDF report are delivered to your portal within 8 hours. The clock starts once the case is accepted and all required records have been received. Standard cases are delivered within 2 working days.
- What file formats does Alignodontic DPS accept?
- Binary and ASCII STL, Wavefront OBJ and PLY with vertex color, from any intraoral scanner that exports an open mesh. Photographs as JPG, PNG or WebP, radiographs as images or PDF, and CBCT as DICOM for skeletal and MARPE cases.
- How do I claim my free first case?
- One eligible case per practice, on the CAD Designer or Ortho-Reviewed tier, at no charge. Included deliverables and any exclusions are listed before submission. Create an account for your clinic or laboratory and submit the case; no card and no contract are needed.
- What is the revision policy if I need changes?
- Every case includes revisions until you approve. Comment on a tooth, a stage, an attachment or an IPR contact in the web viewer, or describe the change in general, and the revised plan comes back as a new numbered version. Earlier versions are kept.
- Who approves the plan?
- The treating clinician. Alignodontic DPS designs and stages; nothing moves to production until the doctor approves a version. On the ortho-reviewed tier a licensed orthodontist audits the plan before it reaches you, and the final approval is still yours.
Clinical scope and responsibility
Alignodontic DPS is an independent digital orthodontic planning and CAD/CAM design service for licensed dental clinicians and dental laboratories. It does not practice dentistry or render a diagnosis. All tooth movements, staging, IPR, attachment specifications and production files must be verified, adjusted where needed and authorized by the treating clinician, who retains sole responsibility for diagnosis, treatment and outcome.
