Advances in digital orthodontics have introduced groundbreaking innovations, enabling in-office design and production of aligners. Polorto’s cutting-edge software, DDP AI, leverages artificial intelligence to generate precise digital diagnostic models within minutes, streamlining the treatment planning and production process. This technological leap is redefining orthodontic care, granting practitioners unparalleled control over aligner design and implementation.
Streamlining Aligner Design and Production
DDP AI accelerates the workflow of creating aligners, making it a valuable tool for practices and laboratories aiming to elevate their brand with advanced solutions. Aligners, already a favored alternative to braces, are now bolstered by real-time diagnostic capabilities, giving orthodontists and technicians direct oversight of the process—from intra-oral scanning to the in-house production of custom aligners.
By generating detailed 3D models in widely used file formats like STL, PLY, and OBJ, DDP AI equips orthodontists with instant access to anatomical data crucial for treatment planning. This includes every stage of the patient’s journey, from initial tooth movements to final crown–root configurations.
The accompanying DDP-Ortho system further supports diagnosis, tailored aligner treatment planning, and treatment progress monitoring. With the Aligners Planner module in the Digital Technical Studio (DTS) software suite, technicians can meticulously design and adjust each phase of tooth movement, ensuring each aligner delivers optimal results.
Clinical Success and Patient-Centric Benefits
The practical applications of DDP-Ortho are evident in its patient outcomes. In one case, a patient preparing for a major event received their first aligners within 24 hours of scanning—a remarkable turnaround that underscored the system’s efficiency.
Another patient, previously using commercial aligners, noted the advantages of switching to in-house production through DDP-Ortho. The elimination of delays associated with external shipping allowed for faster, more personalized care and greater satisfaction.
Beyond speed, DDP-Ortho significantly reduces operational costs by eliminating the reliance on external labs and traditional gypsum models. Licensing fees and tiered pricing based on clinic size are also removed, enabling clinics to offer affordable, high-quality solutions while handling an increased caseload.
Integrating Digital Dentistry and Expanding Horizons
DDP-Ortho’s versatility extends beyond orthodontics, integrating seamlessly with other digital dentistry fields such as implantology and maxillofacial surgery. This interoperability creates new opportunities for clinics to diversify their services while enhancing patient outcomes.
By adopting DDP-Ortho, practices gain a modern, tech-forward image, attracting patients who value fast, personalized, and digitally advanced care. Younger demographics, in particular, appreciate the convenience and familiarity of technology-driven solutions.
Empowering Clinics with Independence and Growth
With robust training and support, DDP-Ortho ensures smooth integration into clinical workflows, granting orthodontists full independence in managing aligner treatments. This system not only provides convenience but also represents a strategic investment in branding and market competitiveness.
In an era of increasing demand for digital solutions, DDP-Ortho positions clinics and laboratories at the forefront of innovation, offering patients the benefits of cutting-edge orthodontic care. This transformative tool empowers practitioners to deliver efficient, high-quality, and cost-effective treatment while fostering growth and patient trust.
