When is a SmartSTL triggered?

SmartSTL assessments run automatically at the end of each 12 aligner stage. You can also ask for one mid stage if you are worried about tracking.

Automatic

At the end of each stage, DM and OneSmile run the superimposition. Nothing is needed from the practice.

Manual

If you suspect a tracking problem before the end of a stage, ask for one and describe what you are seeing.

What happens afterwards

The team reviews the superimposition and either confirms the patient is on track, recommends IPR or a recall, or adjusts the next stage plan.

What to have ready

Start a support request in the OneSmile Concierge chat and include:

  • Practice name
  • Patient name
  • Case number
  • Current aligner and stage
  • Why you want a manual assessment

Still need help

If this article did not resolve your question, your practice manager is your first point of contact for case and product support. For anything that needs a tracked outcome, start a chat with the OneSmile Concierge using the chat button on this page. Include the patient name, the case number and the current aligner number so it can be actioned without a follow-up question.
