Orthodontists are looking for intraoral scanners that strike the perfect balance of performance, ease-of-use, and cost-efficiency. In 2025, we personally witness Alliedstar emerge as a rising favorite among orthodontists (and dentists at large)—and it’s easy to see why.
Whether you’re scanning dozens of aligner cases each week or tracking retainer wear with high precision, Alliedstar’s growing ecosystem of scanners is delivering what modern orthodontists need most: speed, flexibility, and affordability.
In orthodontics, time is everything.
Alliedstar’s latest models deliver full-arch scans in approximately 20 seconds—making this brand one of the fastest systems in its class. When you’re capturing dozens of scans per day for aligners, retainer checks, or progress monitoring, that kind of speed can transform your daily schedule and reduce patient chair time significantly.
Orthodontists and assistants frequently perform repeat scans throughout the day, which means ergonomics play a critical role in long-term efficiency. All Alliedstar scanners offers a light, ergonomic design that reduces hand fatigue and improves maneuverability—even for full-arch scans in younger or hard-to-scan patients.
Alliedstar's proprietary software platforms like AS Connect and ScanPro come preloaded with features that matter most to orthodontists:
Ortho simulation and smile preview
Undercut and occlusion analysis
Mesh comparison tools
Model building and base trimming
This allows seamless integration into clear aligner workflows, retainer fabrication, and progress tracking—all while enhancing the patient communication experience.
A major reason Alliedstar is gaining traction is its open-format support. With STL, PLY, and OBJ export options, orthodontists can easily send scan data to their preferred labs or aligner providers—or even bring aligner manufacturing in-house using platforms like LuxCreo.
This flexibility means you're not locked into proprietary file ecosystems or expensive licensing fees, as is the case with some legacy systems.
Let’s face it—cost matters, especially for orthodontic startups and mid-size practices investing in direct-print aligner or in-house lab workflows. Alliedstar has gained a reputation for delivering premium-level features at a significantly lower cost than major brands.
Orthodontists producing small-batch aligners or subscription-based retainer services report achieving excellent ROI thanks to Alliedstar’s predictable pricing and reduced post-processing.
Voxel Dental and other distributors report that onboarding times for Alliedstar scanners are quick—especially for staff who already have some digital experience. The intuitive interface, fast calibration, and lightweight build make it easy for teams to adopt quickly.
Unlimited training, robust support, and available 3D printing/lab workflow guidance further boost team confidence and maximize long-term value.
Orthodontists who emphasize aligner therapy and long-term retention care will appreciate Alliedstar’s:
Fast full-arch scanning
Open export for aligner labs or in-house printing
Low cost of ownership for predictable ROI
Software tools for simulation and tracking
Ergonomics for high-volume daily use
This alignment with the needs of today’s ortho-forward practices makes it easy to understand why Alliedstar is becoming a go-to brand in 2025—and beyond.
If you're exploring intraoral scanning options in 2025 and want something that checks all the boxes for orthodontics—speed, open access, cost-efficiency, and modern features—then Alliedstar is a brand you’ll want to watch closely. As more orthodontists adopt aligner-based workflows, Alliedstar is poised to play a central role in the future of digital orthodontics.
