We have been very impressed by uLab’s treatment system that puts orthodontists in control of treatment plans at chairside, allows them to offer combo and hybrid treatments, helps them manage lab fees and market their practice brands. We appreciate the uLab team’s commitment to innovation and their orthodontist-centric approach.”
