uLab and People + Practice partner to drive higher profitability for orthodontists
uLab Systems has partnered with People
+ Practice, a dental marketing firm for
doctors, to help orthodontist offices level
up their aligner marketing strategy and
understand how the uLab product offerings
will differentiate them in their markets and
increase profitability.
"We noticed that our customers who adopted
uLab have increased profit margins on more
complex cases and are successfully tapping
the limited treatment market with new product
offerings," said Dr Leon Klempner, CEO of
People + Practice. "People + Practice's focus
is driving practice profitability and expanding
market reach, so this is a natural partnership."
uLab's pay-per-aligner business model
enables orthodontists to make choices for
their patients that were not available with
traditional aligner companies. By eliminating
the upfront fee for unlimited aligners,
orthodontists can mix and match treatment
modalities for a patient that they may
want to start in brackets and finish in clear
aligners.
For complex cases, uLab's workflow and
pricing structure enables improved practice
profitability. Additionally, for patients who
only need minor correction, or have relapse
from their previous treatments, limited cases
now are possible and profitable with uLab.
People + Practice helps offices promote the
patient benefits enabled by these offerings,
including the convenience, flexibility, and
affordability of clear aligners.
uLab was founded in 2015 and offers the
uDesign treatment planning software for inoffice
printing purposes. In 2020, the uSmile
clear aligner platform was launched, providing
aligners manufactured in Memphis, Tennessee,
US, in addition to maintaining the option for
orthodontists to create aligners in-office. uLab
uSmile aligners are available to all orthodontic
practices in the US and Canada. Orthodontists
have planned more than 450,000 cases on the
uDesign software to date. ■
