Clear Aligner Lab Support

Smart Designs Dental Lab provides clear aligner setup and fabrication support for licensed dental professionals.

Our clear aligner workflow, Straight28, is intended for doctor prescribed cases submitted by dental offices. Smart Designs supports the digital setup and fabrication process based on the prescribing doctor’s records, instructions, and final approval.

The prescribing doctor is responsible for diagnosis, patient selection, treatment planning decisions, IPR and attachment approval, clinical evaluation, delivery, and patient monitoring.

How the Workflow Works

The doctor submits the patient records, intraoral scan or impression, and case instructions to the lab.

A digital setup is prepared for doctor review. The setup is sent to the doctor for approval or revision before fabrication begins.

Once the doctor approves the setup, the aligners are fabricated according to the approved case plan and returned to the office.

Doctor Prescribed Cases

Clear aligner cases should be prescribed, reviewed, approved, and monitored by the treating doctor.

Smart Designs Dental Lab does not diagnose patients or determine whether a patient is a candidate for orthodontic treatment. Case acceptance, clinical decisions, and patient care remain the responsibility of the prescribing doctor.

Submitting a Case

To submit a clear aligner case, please contact Smart Designs Dental Lab or use the appropriate prescription form provided by the lab.

Additional Notes for Sitewide Cleanup

Please also review any other pages that mention clear aligners and keep the wording consistent with this tone.

• Doctor prescribed and doctor approved.
• Lab focused rather than treatment focused.
• No claims about guaranteed, predictable, or superior treatment results.
• No language suggesting Smart Designs determines patient candidacy or manages clinical treatment decisions.
• No language suggesting doctors without aligner experience should use the service to generate additional income.
• Avoid presenting Smart Designs as a large national aligner manufacturer.
