In an interview with Orthodontic Products, Medit’s Matt Mock explains how the system reduces outsourcing delays, enables same-day starts, and improves the patient experience.
Clear aligners are the newest addition to Medit’s product portfolio with the launch of Medit Aligners, a system designed to give orthodontists more control over treatment while reducing patient wait times. Fully integrated with the Medit Orthodontic Suite, the solution allows clinicians to scan, simulate, plan, and design aligners chairside, with orders delivered in less than a week. Same-day starts are made possible through AI-driven simulations and in-office printing options, eliminating outsourcing delays. To support adoption, Medit offers direct training and onboarding. Orthodontic Products spoke with Matt Mock, senior director of marketing and education at Medit, about what this means for orthodontic practices.
Orthodontic Products: What specific challenges in the traditional aligner workflow are Medit Aligners designed to address?
Matt Mock: Traditional aligner workflows often mean long turnaround times with outsourcing delays, lack of clinician control over the treatment plan, and poor patient experience of having to wait between each step of the process, often resulting in patient drop-off or dissatisfaction. With Medit Aligners and the ability to accelerate treatment, we offer orthodontists more control of the process and patients a more predictable and comfortable experience.
OP: How does integrating Medit Aligners with Medit Orthodontic Suite change the role of the orthodontist in treatment planning, and for those not familiar with the suite, can you explain what it includes and how it supports aligner treatment?
Mock: Medit Orthodontic Suite (MOS) is an end-to-end digital orthodontic solution that enables clinicians with tools for treatment simulation, chairside planning, staging, design, and aligner ordering or export. By integrating Medit Aligners with MOS, orthodontists can now manage the entire process within a unified platform and achieve a flexible, efficient workflow that combines clinical control with world-class manufacturing.
With this seamless integration, Medit Aligners accelerates the treatment process with faster aligner readiness and improves the overall patient case acceptance. As a result, patients can visualize their outcomes with clarity and confidence, ultimately experiencing minimized wait time with fast and reliable delivery in less than 7 days after an order for Medit Aligners is received.
OP: You’ve highlighted same-day starts as a key feature—what technical or workflow advances made that possible?
Mock: Same-day starts are made possible as MOS combines tools that can create clinically realistic simulations and treatment scenarios instantly with built-in AI to share realistic outcomes. MOS enables orthodontists to manage the full workflow—scan, simulate, plan, and design, followed by the ability to order directly in-app or export and print directly for immediate treatment—and complete it all in one visit.
OP: What kind of training and technical support does Medit provide to orthodontists adopting Medit Aligners?
Mock: Medit provides complimentary direct 1:1 training and onboarding support, either virtual or in-person options, in addition to educational content and resources so orthodontists and their team can get up to speed quickly. Orthodontists also have direct access to our specialized support team who can answer questions, provide guidance, and enhance their usage of MOS and Medit Aligners.
OP: How do you see Medit Aligners impacting the competitive landscape for in-office clear aligner solutions?
Mock: Medit Aligners are raising the bar and disrupting the traditional orthodontic workflow by bringing together the flexibility of in-office solutions with the clinical reliability of expert-designed treatment plans. With Medit Aligners and MOS, this new digital workflow combines planning, simulation, collaboration, and delivery into a smooth, chairside-driven experience for clinicians and patients. Now, orthodontists can experience the best of both worlds: speed and control without compromising on quality. OP
