Braces Now Integrates SprintRay 3D Printer to Produce Custom Clear Aligners In-House

Braces 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 manufacture custom clear aligners and Invisalign molds directly on-site. 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.

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 molds 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.

The SprintRay printer directly supports the practice's delivery of Invisalign in Buford, GA and Invisalign in Norcross, GA. By printing molds in-office, Braces Now can maintain tighter control over the fit and comfort of each aligner set. 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.

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 seeking Invisalign in Norcross, GA or the Buford area, 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 molds used throughout care. Learn more at Braces Now.
