On the SmileMaker Platform, patients can use their phone’s camera to capture 3D scans of their teeth, bite and alignment and receive a look at their potential new smile within minutes. Patients can then provide more scans through the company’s at-home impression kit or local offices. The information is then uploaded to SmileDirectClub’s virtual platform for review by a state-licensed dentist or orthodontist to determine candidacy for clear aligner therapy.
The platform is available in Australia but will expand into the U.S. later this year or in early 2023, according to a Nov. 18 news release.
