See how it works

Two tools built to get a regular case through quickly

The Wizard in Implant Master and the Happy Button in OrthoPlus were added for one purpose: to carry a regular case from start to finish without anyone having to drive the whole design environment. Each performs one step at a time and names the step that follows, which makes them the quickest way through routine work and the place to start on day one. The full workflow pages stay available for the cases that need more.

Select your case type — the Wizard's first page, over a workspace where the AI has already segmented the arches
Select your case type — the Wizard's first page

Implant Master

The Wizard

A routine case is six steps, one page at a time. There is nothing else to learn to finish one.

A new project opens the Wizard on your case type. From there it is one page per step, with Previous and Next Step at the bottom and only the controls that step needs. The extra tools sit in the sidebars, where a straightforward case can ignore them.

  1. 1Case — choose the case type
  2. 2Bone — review the segmentation
  3. 3Nerve — review the nerve channel
  4. 4Implants — place the fixture
  5. 5Guide — design the surgical guide
  6. 6Report

Working from a radiographic guide or a separate optical scan adds its own load and register steps, and the Wizard leaves out the ones your case type does not use. When the volume loads you are asked whether the AI engine should segment it in the background, which turns the segmentation step into a review.

The Happy Button

One button, pressed again and again. That is the whole aligner workflow.

Almost the whole aligner workflow is driven by one control. The Happy Button sits at the bottom right and always shows the next step: press it, GuideMia performs that step, and the button changes to name whatever comes next.

  1. 1Fix the jaw models and set the occlusion plane
  2. 2Tooth segmentation, crown boundaries and arch curves
  3. 3Virtual roots and tooth alignment
  4. 4Movement plan and stage planning
  5. 5Base and arch models, aligner boundaries, attachments
  6. 6Aligner or bracket bonding guide design, case tag, then send the case out for web review

That is the whole span — from the raw scans to the appliance and the case going out. You can leave the sequence at any point to do something by hand, and pressing the button again picks the thread back up; the instruction text beside it names the step it is standing on.

Today's playbook

Clear Aligner Software for Dental Labs

Clear aligner software for dental labs building high-throughput, consistent aligner design and manufacturing operations.

Purpose: clear aligner software for a dental lab

This edition targets dental laboratories seeking to build high-throughput, highly consistent, and scalable clear-aligner design and manufacturing operations. It addresses labs wanting to launch proprietary services matching global manufacturers — replacing manual work with batch automation, increasing output without sacrificing consistency, and handling complex orthodontic cases. The orthodontic software at the centre is GuideMia OrthoPlus; the operating layer is Cympha.

Core Challenges for Labs

Modern aligner labs must simultaneously tackle clinical reliability, manufacturing efficiency, and business scalability across seven key areas.

Throughput, Automation & Cost Control

Labs need unattended pre-processing so manual scan cleanup leaves the critical path, and routing that moves work without a coordinator chasing it. Cympha hands each new case to whichever eligible person on the lab's roster has the fewest open cases, and continuity beats load-balancing — the designer who did the first cycle gets the next one on the same patient.

Consistency & Clinical Standardization

Can different designers produce the same staging, attachments, and outcomes? The answer requires algorithm-driven planning rather than individual experience, ensuring uniform quality across teams.

Fast Restarts & Mid-Course Re-Planning

Cases must be rapidly restarted when aligners no longer fit, with plans refinable during treatment and retainers automatically generated from final stages.

Multi-Scanner Data Normalization

Systems must repair data from various scanner brands, handling holes, noise, distortions, and artifacts without manual CAD intervention.

Manufacturing & Production Line Integration

Integration with trimming machines, laser marking systems, and automated finishing requires customizable aligner boundaries, tags, and marking data.

Complex Orthodontics at Scale

Labs need reliable support for extractions, implants, miniscrews (TADs), space closure, and occlusal corrections combined in single digital plans.

Gingiva Accuracy & Clinical Fit

An industry gap exists where platforms generate inconsistent virtual gingiva, causing poor gingival-margin fit — particularly critical for direct-printed aligners.

The clear aligner software platform (lab configuration)

The platform extends clinical foundations with industrial capabilities through three primary components.

OrthoPlus — Core Design & Automation Engine

AI segmentation, automatic tooth setup, automatic staging and attachment design, arch model export for aligner manufacturing, and aligner and retainer design for direct printing all ship in every OrthoPlus tier. The tiers differ by how many cases a month they include — check guidemia.com/pricing/ortho-plus before you quote a high-volume service.

FAQ

Which product is the dental implant software, and which is the orthodontic software?
Implant Master is the dental implant software: CBCT planning and surgical guide design. OrthoPlus is the orthodontic software and clear aligner software, with OrthoClic as its chairside planner. Each discipline has a free planner to start with.
Does it work with my CBCT?
Yes. GuideMia reads DICOM from any CBCT system rather than one manufacturer's format, and the same applies to intra-oral, desktop and facial scanners. That openness is the reason the software exists.
Can I print guides and models on my own printer?
Yes. Output is STL, so any printer or mill you already run will take it. There is no tied consumable and no per-print fee.
What do the free planners not do?
The Implant Planner plans, measures and presents. The OrthoPlus Planner opens a case someone sends you and lets you adjust the staging, but cannot start a new case. Designing the appliance — a surgical guide, an aligner, a bonding tray — and exporting it for manufacture is the paid step in both disciplines.
How does the free trial work?
Paid plans start with a 15-day free trial with full features. Cancel inside the trial and you are not charged.
Which implant systems are supported?
The library covers the major systems and is not restricted to a single manufacturer. Components you work with that are not in it can be added.
Is training included?
Tutorials and recorded cases are free on the training page. One-to-one sessions with a trainer are bookable separately.
Can the software be white-labelled?
Yes. The implant and orthodontic suites can be licensed or white-labelled under your own brand — treatment planning, appliance and guide design, case communication and online case review. It is set up for implant manufacturers, aligner brands, guide labs and DSOs, and the OEM page on cympha.com has the detail.
Do you take on custom development?
Yes, and we are open to that kind of partnership. Beyond the packaged products we build to order across digital dentistry: AI and machine learning on dental imaging, browser-native 3D, integration between systems, and cloud infrastructure. The OEM and custom development page on cympha.com lists what we take on.
