With well over a decade of use in dental practices, the intraoral scanner revolution is here to stay. With so many advantages over traditional impressions, and countless clinical use cases, there are some big reasons dentists are making the investment in intraoral scanners.
With innovation, comes more options than ever. While several big names dominate the industry, newcomers like Alliedstar have been making significant strides with their line of intraoral scanners.
Here at Voxel, we’re highly selective over the brands we choose to work with, seeking distributor relationships with manufacturers who share our obsession with quality and service so we can provide our customers with the very best clinical experience.
We’ve been working with intraoral scanners for years and the Alliedstar is a top choice for a great mixture of speed, quality and value as an affordable, easy-entry scanning option for nearly any dental or specialty practice - especially those just getting started with 3D impressions.
Here is a quick overview about what we think doctors will like about Alliedstar intraoral scanners:
- Lightning-fast scanning speeds (full arch in 20 seconds)
- No monthly fees/subscription
- Easy-to-learn, easy-to-use (for you and your staff too)
- Truly wireless option with capability to run off of your current chairside computer
- Only wireless scanner with an all-day docking capability
- First in class warranty, with 1 year included with scanner purchase from Voxel
So, let’s dive in… today, we’ll review both of the current generation Alliedstar scanners, as well as the software which powers their systems.
Let’s Start By Talking About their ScanPro Software
The founders of Alliedstar relied upon their experience in IOS, and image management software in particular, when designing their intraoral scanners. That’s why they’ve delivered a streamlined, affordable product with all the essentials and no extraneous features that are rarely relied upon in an actual dental practice.
Providing a user-friendly interface was mission critical in the development of Alliedstar’s ScanPro software. Equipped with a variety of tools such as occlusion analysis, undercut detection, measurement, and margin line tools, their system allows you to effortlessly capture and edit digital impressions.
Not only does this software simplify scanning, it can run at lightning-speeds without requiring an expensive high-end gaming laptop. With lower spec laptop requirements than most other leading intraoral scanning brands, you can spend less upfront (no need for a supercomputer) and still get the best performance.
And, lastly, because the brand knows you need open communication and connectivity, they’ve opened their architecture so you can confidently send the edited impressions to labs, knowing that they are accurate and reliable.
AlliedStar 200E Wireless Scanner
The Alliedstar 200E Wireless Scanner is not only their fastest scanner to date, but also their flagship wireless scanner as well. This scanner boasts an all-day battery life, meaning you can scan a full day’s worth of digital impressions and never miss a beat!!
With the AS 200E, you get a truly wireless experience, unlike anything available on the market today. Even your charging port is wireless! And for those days you forget to charge overnight, Alliedstar provides a backup battery to keep you going all day.
And, the wireless experience of the AS 200E goes one step further with its Splashtop compatibility. This unique feature allows you to run scans from any PC connected to your scanning laptop.
What does this mean for you? No more carrying your scanning laptop from operatory to operatory! Simply open the Splashtop app from your connected PC and the scanner and software will connect right where you left off.
Here are a few other standout features of the Alliedstar 200E Wireless:
- Zero Calibration Required! For those who have used scanners requiring calibration, you’ll know how much of a relief this can be. With its calibration-free setup, you won’t have to worry about calibration time in between scans.- Speed & Accuracy: This scanner is one of the most accurate in the market, achieving 20 microns of accuracy in full arch scanning, which only takes 20 seconds.
- Lightweight, Ergonomic Design: The AS 200E rivals even the 3Shape TRIOS 5 with its meticulous design. Its pen-grip style fits comfortably into any hand, making sure you’re comfortable scanning all day long (all on a single charge as well!)
- Duo Scan Buttons: With a scan button on both sides of the scanner, you can easily rotate and press with your usual finger to continue scanning (without remembering button positions or reassembling the tip).
- Remote Control to Review Scans: Adding to its hygienic features, this scanner can help you avoid touching your computer while viewing scans. To review a finished model, scale, pan, rotate or access the menu, simply move the scanner and its motion sensor will activate.
- True-Tone Colors: Highly advanced algorithms capture and recreate true-to-life colors.
The Alliedstar 200E packs a real punch, achieving industry-leading features all doctors are looking for, without the hefty price tag.

AlliedStar AS 260 Intraoral Scanner
For doctors who aren’t searching for the wireless experience, Alliedstar also manufactures the Alliedstar AS 260. This wired scanner is a full-color, lightweight and ergonomically designed evolution of Alliedstar’s first generation AS 100 scanner.
This scanner features an innovative optical structure that enhances depth of field, providing greater flexibility during scanning and delivering superior image quality.
Like the AS 200E, this scanner features the same duo scan buttons, is calibration-free and a number of other hygienic and ergonomic features that make this a well-balanced easy-entry to digital impressioning.
