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.
