With Invisalign case numbers continuing to rise, many dentists are looking for ways to manage treatment planning more efficiently.
MiSmile Treatment Planning Services (TPS) provides specialist support to help practices streamline ClinCheck submissions while maintaining full clinical control.
As demand for clear aligner treatment continues to grow across the UK, many dentists are incorporating Invisalign into their practices as a key part of their orthodontic offering. However, with increasing case volumes comes the challenge of managing treatment planning efficiently.
Reviewing ClinChecks, planning tooth movements and optimising treatment objectives can be time-consuming, particularly for busy clinicians balancing patient care with the operational demands of running a practice.
For many practices, the question is no longer whether to offer Invisalign, but how to manage the growing number of cases without adding additional pressure to their clinical day.
This is where MiSmile Treatment Planning Services (TPS) is helping practices streamline their workflow while maintaining clinical confidence.
What is MiSmile TPS?
MiSmile TPS is a specialist treatment planning support service designed for Invisalign providers. The service assists dentists by reviewing cases, preparing treatment plans and optimising ClinCheck submissions before final approval by the treating clinician.
Since launching, the service has supported more than 16,000 Invisalign cases, giving the team extensive experience across a wide range of case types.
The aim is simple: to save clinicians time while helping ensure treatment plans are structured for predictable outcomes.
Whether a practice is placing a handful of aligner cases each month or managing high Invisalign volumes, TPS acts as an extension of the clinical team.
Led by orthodontic specialists
One of the key strengths of the MiSmile TPS service is the clinical expertise behind it.
All treatment plans are reviewed and prepared by orthodontic specialists with extensive experience in aligner therapy, ensuring that each ClinCheck benefits from specialist insight and a deep understanding of aligner biomechanics.
The service is overseen by Dr Oliver Smart, Clinical Director at MiSmile, who works closely with the TPS team to ensure consistent clinical standards across every case.
Seamless integration with Align Technology
MiSmile TPS operates in partnership with Align Technology, allowing the entire process to take place within the existing Invisalign workflow.
All case communication and submissions are handled through Align’s IDS system, meaning practices do not need to learn new software or adopt additional platforms.
This approach ensures the service is:
- Simple to integrate into existing Invisalign workflows
- Efficient and familiar for clinicians
- Fully GDPR compliant
- Secure within Align’s existing infrastructure.
For practices, this means they can access specialist treatment planning support without adding extra administrative complexity.
How the service works
The process has been designed to be straightforward and efficient.
Once the practice has completed their iTero scan and patient records, the case can be submitted to the MiSmile TPS team through IDS.
The team will then:
- Review the case and clinical objectives
- Optimise the treatment plan and tooth movements
- Prepare the ClinCheck submission
- Provide recommendations where appropriate.
The treating dentist retains full control and final approval before the case is submitted to Align for manufacturing.
In essence, TPS functions as an extension of the clinical workflow, helping practices manage case planning more efficiently.
Helping practices grow their Invisalign offering
As Invisalign continues to become a core treatment offering for many UK dental practices, clinicians are increasingly looking for ways to scale their aligner workflows without compromising quality or adding additional workload.
By combining orthodontic specialist expertise, streamlined workflows and integration with Align Technology’s systems, MiSmile TPS allows practices to manage their cases more efficiently while maintaining clinical oversight.
For many dentists, treatment planning support is quickly becoming a valuable resource in helping them deliver Invisalign treatment with confidence while protecting their most valuable asset – their time.
Dr Oliver Smart said: ‘Having treated patients for 20 years with Invisalign, I am acutely aware of the problems that practices can face whilst delivering these services. Since we have set-up MiSmile Treatment Planning Services, many of these problems are a thing of the past.
‘Delivering consistently high quality ClinChecks, in a fast turnaround by Specialist Orthodontists was always the goal and having delivered over 16,000 cases to date, this part of the treatment is now far easier for todays Invisalign providers.’
