smilogy aligners are Australian-made clear aligners, manufactured in the smilogy lab in Castle Hill, Sydney, from a treatment plan designed by your dentist. Your treatment starts with an in-person examination and 3D scan at a partner dental practice, and your progress is followed with DentalMonitoring check-ins that your dentist reviews.
If you’ve been searching for Australian-made clear aligners, you’ve probably noticed that “clear aligners” can describe quite different treatment models. This article explains how smilogy aligners go from a digital scan to a finished aligner and on to monitored treatment – and what “Australian made” means in practice.
A partnership: your dentist leads, our lab makes
smilogy aligners is a partnership between your local dentist and our Australian lab. Each has a clear role:
- Your provider – a registered dentist at a partner practice – examines you, takes your scan, plans and supervises your treatment, and sees you whenever something needs attention.
- Our Castle Hill lab makes your aligners in Sydney from your dentist’s plan and sends them to your provider.
- DentalMonitoring is the app and scan box you use at home, so your dentist can check your progress between visits.
- Your saved scan is kept on file, so a lost aligner or a future retainer can be made without starting again.
From scan to smile: the four-step workflow
The same process applies at every smilogy aligners provider in Australia.
Step 1: Free 3D scan
You book with a provider near you for an examination and a digital scan. There are no messy moulds and no commitment. The scan creates a detailed 3D digital model of your teeth, which becomes the starting point for everything that follows.
Step 2: Your plan
Your dentist designs your treatment from the scan and shows you a digital preview of the expected result before you decide. This is when your dentist confirms whether clear aligners suit you and recommends a plan – lite, standard or advanced – based on how much your teeth need to move.
Step 3: Made in Australia and fitted
Once you decide to go ahead, your dentist’s plan is sent to the smilogy lab in Castle Hill, Sydney, where your aligners are made. The finished aligners are sent to your provider, who fits them and shows you how to wear them.
Step 4: Monitored remotely
During treatment, you take a quick scan at home each week using DentalMonitoring’s ScanBox and app. Your dentist reviews your scans and asks you in only when needed. If something isn’t tracking as planned, you can be alerted and your dentist can respond. For more detail, see how DentalMonitoring works.
Why does “Australian made” matter?
Where your aligners are made is one of several things you might consider when choosing treatment. For smilogy aligners, local manufacturing means:
- Your aligners are made in Sydney, in the smilogy lab in Castle Hill, from the plan your own dentist designed.
- Your 3D scan is stored on file, so replacements and future retainers don’t start from scratch.
- Retainers can be made from the same saved scan after treatment, through retainers for life, without new impressions.
What matters most, whatever aligner you choose, is that your treatment is properly assessed, planned and supervised by a registered dental practitioner. If you’re wondering who can provide clear aligners, read do you need an orthodontist for clear aligners?
