With an intelligent workflow and simple portal, Active Aligners are designed to give you the skills and confidence to treat patients effectively.

Clear aligner therapy is a modern alternative to traditional braces.

What are Active Aligners?

Developed for Dentists, by Dentists, Active Aligners are clear, removable and comfortable. They offer fast treatment times and enable clinician driven care at a cost-effective price. Strong and durable, all our aligners come with a 2mm straight trim-line backed by clinical research¹, giving the quality you demand and the versatility you need.

  • Use your own Intra-Oral Scanner to send cases to our online platform. Any lab work is invoiced at the end of each month. 
  • Alternatively, simply send PVS impressions and a bite registration to us. We digitise the impressions to allow upload to our portal.
