This article outlines the three most critical factors for selecting an OEM clear aligner manufacturing partner:
(1) clear aligner design scalability and quality,
(2) mass production scalability and quality, and
(3) striking the right balance between design and production capabilities.
Drawing on the 60/20/20 effectiveness framework — where treatment planning accounts for 60% of clinical outcomes, dentist operation 20%, and patient compliance 20% — the article argues that design capability should be prioritized over production capacity when evaluating potential partners. While manufacturing quality directly impacts patient comfort and compliance, the intellectual core of treatment planning fundamentally determines clinical success.
