As demand for clear aligners continues to soar, orthodontic practices and labs are constantly seeking smarter, faster, and more cost-effective solutions to scale their operations. Enter the Trimlign2 by Ortho-Automation—a next-generation robotic aligner trimming system engineered to maximize throughput, reduce labor costs, and streamline your workflow.
According to the data, a single employee using hand tools can trim a maximum of 192 aligners per day. But with the Trimlign2, that same employee can operate three machines simultaneously, boosting output to an impressive 1,320 aligners per day—that’s nearly 7x more productivity without increasing headcount.
Here’s how the numbers break down:
| Method | Cost per Aligner | Max Aligners/Day | Max Aligners/Year | Annual Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hand Tools | $1.06 | 192 | 49,920 | $0 |
| 1 Trimlign Machine | $0.22 | 456 | 118,560 | $101,587 |
| 3 Trimlign Machines | $0.14 | 1,320 | 343,200 | $315,820 |
📌 Takeaway: It would take seven full-time employees with hand tools to match the aligner output of one employee using three Trimlign2 machines.
With labor savings of over $315,000 per year, the ROI on Trimlign2 is crystal clear. The drastically reduced cost per aligner—from $1.06 down to just $0.14—translates into immediate profit margin improvements and long-term scalability.
