ClearCorrect Announces Faster
Manufacturing Turnaround
ClearCorrect is accelerating its manufacturing
turnaround time of clear aligners, standardizing the
time from case approval to shipping to 10 days. The
shortened turnaround time will allow ClearCorrect
clinicians to reduce the time required to begin
treatment.
ClearCorrect continues to regionalize its
manufacturing, placing end products closer to the
user. For patients in the U.S. and Canada, aligners
are manufactured solely in Texas. The company has
also expanded manufacturing sites to Brazil and
Germany.

Dentsply Sirona Acquires Propel Orthodontics
Dentsply Sirona has acquired the majority of Propel Orthodontics’ assets, including the VPro line of high-frequency vibration devices and
the Fastrack mobile app. Propel’s acquired product lines reduce treatment times, and add digital capabilities to Byte and SureSmile to improve
patient engagement and treatment monitoring.
After the acquisition, Dentsply Sirona will continue to enhance the VPro Fastrack App, which helps patients and providers remotely monitor
the orthodontic treatment plan.
Byte, which was acquired by Dentsply Sirona in December 2020, already includes the VPro product (labeled as HyperByte) in every
treatment. Dentsply Sirona will also work on launching new branding as part of the SureSmile portfolio for the professional market after the
integration and will continue to sell VPro directly to dental professionals.
