The uLab Partner Program enables orthodontists to pay per aligner until they reach the case fee ceiling—as low as $950—afterwhich aligners are free of charge for a 3-year case.

uLab Systems, the creator of the uSmile Clear Aligner System, has announced a new milestone. It marked 200,000 cases planned to date in the United States. The company says its growth is a testimony to its work on innovative AI-based software, for its clear aligner system, and its laser focus on supporting the orthodontic community.

uLab was founded by Amir Abolfathi and Charlie Wen. “When my co-founder and I started uLab in 2015, we were perplexed by the trends in the orthodontic space,” says Abolfathi. “Why were so many companies going around the orthodontist to the general practitioner dentist or straight to the consumer? We set out to rebalance the market by creating a company that is fully committed to supporting the orthodontist with unique innovation and a customer-focused business model.”

uLab offers the uLab Partner Program which allows orthodontists to pay per aligner until they reach the case fee ceiling—as low as $950, according to the company—after which aligners are free of charge for a 3-year case. According to the company, this pricing structure means orthodontists benefit from both per aligner pricing and a guaranteed maximum price per case.
