E-mailBraces Now, an orthodontic practice with locations in Buford and Norcross, Georgia, has added the SprintRay 3D printer to its in-office technology suite, enabling the practice to produce its own custom clear aligners and 3D-printed dental models on-site for select in-house treatments. The integration marks a meaningful shift in how the practice approaches aligner-based orthodontic treatment, bringing fabrication in-house rather than relying on external production.
In-House Production of Custom Clear Aligners
With the SprintRay 3D printer now operational at Braces Now, the practice can produce custom clear aligners in Buford, GA without sending impressions or digital scans to an outside lab. The printer allows the orthodontic team to create precise dental models and aligner components that are tailored to each patient's specific tooth structure and treatment plan.
This change in workflow means that physical aligner components can be produced faster and with a higher degree of dimensional accuracy than traditional outsourced manufacturing methods typically allow. For patients undergoing treatment at either the Buford or Norcross location, this translates to a more responsive care experience, with adjustments and new aligners available more efficiently as their treatment progresses.
Clear Aligner Treatment Options at Both Locations
Braces Now offers Invisalign® clear aligner treatment at its Buford and Norcross locations alongside its in-house aligner options. Printing models in-office lets the clinical team move faster on the cases it produces itself. Poorly fitting aligners are a common source of discomfort and treatment delays in orthodontics, and in-house production allows the clinical team to address those variables at the source.
The technology supports treatment for patients across age groups. Whether working with teenagers going through early orthodontic intervention or adults seeking discreet alignment options, the practice can now approach each case with fabrication tools that are physically present and accessible throughout the course of treatment.
A More Controlled Treatment Process for Patients
Producing custom clear aligners in Buford, GA in-office also gives the orthodontic team at Braces Now greater ability to respond to mid-treatment changes. When a patient's teeth respond differently than projected, or when a refinement is needed, the practice is no longer dependent on external lab turnaround times. That flexibility allows the clinical team to maintain momentum in a patient's treatment plan without unnecessary interruptions.
The addition of the SprintRay system reflects a broader trend in orthodontics toward integrating dental 3D printing directly into the point of care. As printing technology has matured and become more accessible to private practices, orthodontists have gained the ability to bring manufacturing steps in-house that were once exclusively handled by large-scale dental laboratories.
For patients in Norcross and Buford, the change means working with a practice that now holds more of the treatment process under one roof - from digital scanning through to the physical production of aligners and dental models used throughout care.
