Imagine OPEN is a digital dental treatment system designed to enable clinicians to add intraoral scanning and a digital workflow tailored specifically to their practice. The chairside system is also designed for the unique needs of each practice while incorporating everything the practice needs for support and training. OPEN is an entirely scalable solution that is built upon Align’s iTero technology. This gives practices with Imagine OPEN the ability to offer orthodontic aligners to patients and export scans to exocad’s ChairsideCAD software.

What makes this system easy to incorporate?

Because OPEN is built upon Align’s iTero technology, it can be implemented into a practice with relative ease, and the practice will benefit from the new offerings it will provide to patients. A full range of restorative indications and materials can be used, and its CAD/CAM files can be used by anyone with an OPEN digital system. Imagine also provides access to a host of qualified labs in their OPEN network, or clinicians can choose to produce restorations and appliances in-house.
