ST. PAUL‚ Minn.—3M recently announced its exclusive North American license of uLab System’s treatment planning software for aligner therapy.

uLab, a privately held digital dental company, has developed an automated treatment planning software to support in-office aligner treatment. The uLab software platform is designed to import 3D digital scans and allows orthodontic professionals to rapidly develop a treatment plan in 10 minutes.

“Adding uLab’s capability for allowing doctors to plan treatments in-office using 3M Clarity Aligners, will give orthodontists more control over cases,” said Sebastian Arana, president and general manager, 3M Oral Care. “They can set up their cases as they wish on their own through uLab’s streamlined experience, or choose to have 3M create the treatment plan.” 

Customers who want 3M to create a treatment plan will submit cases through the 3M Oral Care portal, a web-based treatment management and ordering interface. uLab’s software will be fully integrated with 3M’s Oral Care portal, making it easy to upload files for 3M to produce and deliver the aligners. 

“We are happy to be partnering with 3M to expand treatment planning options for Clarity Aligners. The uLab software enables orthodontists to deliver high-quality treatment to their patients using simple, automated features that give orthodontists full control of their treatment plan. We are excited for orthodontists to experience the benefits,” said Charlie Wen, president and cofounder of uLab Systems. 

“3M is committed to developing aesthetic and custom solutions that will delight orthodontists and their patients,” said Arana. “Our goal is to make it easier for orthodontists to engage patients, provide effective treatments, and run a profitable practice.”
