Why Use Active Aligners?

Drawing on the results of thousands of clear aligner treatments, Active Aligners has established treatment planning protocols to enhance the likelihood of treatment success. An expert team of orthodontists and technicians help to establish parameters to aid you in your case selection. 

What this means for you is that if a case is deemed as too complex or unlikely to succeed, the treatment plan will come back as a rejection or be flagged as predicting a compromised result.

Our aim is to help clinicians achieve successful results. That’s why the company ethos is:

“For Dentists, By Dentists”

with a caring and conscientious know-how that is beyond compare.

We will support you directly, respond to your queries and even provide training in your practice.
