– New Solution Provides Doctors More Control, Flexibility, and Cost Savings With Economical Pay-Per-Tray Model –

BREA, Calif., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ormco Corporation, a global leader in orthodontic solutions, announced today the launch of its Spark On-Demand program, which enables doctors to order any number of Spark Aligners with a simple, economical, no-subscription pricing structure.

"This unique program will further our doctors' ability to grow their practices by offering an affordable and flexible option to purchase aligners for orthodontic treatment without committing to a certain volume," said Eric Conley, President of Ormco. "We are committed to providing doctors flexibility and choice, both clinically and in how they purchase our products. This solution gives doctors the ability to select the aligner treatment that makes the most sense for their patients and their practice. It provides an option to purchase what they need when they need it," he continued.

"Ormco continues to find new ways to support orthodontists. With this new offering, I no longer have to worry about subscription commitments, complicated in-office printing, or outsourcing to local labs, which can positively impact the profitability and economics of my practice," said Dr. Todd Bovenizer. "This new ordering model is highly cost efficient for patients who only need minor orthodontic treatment or to complement a bracket treatment with aligners."

Benefits of Spark On-Demand for Doctors Include:

• Flexibility - Provides doctors with the ability to purchase the exact quantity of aligner trays needed.
• Cost efficiency - No subscription or volume commitment is needed. Buy only the Spark Aligners you need, when you need them. Competitively priced with the ability to select between Spark Aligner products.
• Convenience - Simply follow the Spark Aligner workflow to order Spark On-Demand through the Spark DTX Portal for your clear aligner needs.
