The leading 3D printing company and the orthodontic tech startup are improving the braces experience by making truly custom orthodontic solutions for patients
Somerville, MA & Hicksville, NY, Oct. 15, 2020 – Formlabs, a leading 3D printing company, and Braces On Demand, a technology startup in the orthodontic industry, today announced a partnership to enable Formlabs’ dental users to 3D print braces and orthodontic appliances in-office with Braces On Demand’s proprietary technology. This partnership is part of Formlabs’ Dental Business Unit, formed in late 2019 to expand the role of digital 3D technology in the dental industry. Braces On Demand and Formlabs will unveil their new technology at Orthopreneurs Summit 2020 (October 15-17).
The ability to 3D print devices in-office is a novel workflow for the orthodontic field, allowing doctors to customize braces for their patients and print them on-demand, enabling a more convenient and personalized patient experience. The Braces On Demand web application allows orthodontists to use Formlabs’ Denture Teeth Resin to 3D print brackets, molar tubes, and a host of other orthodontic appliances. This specialized material is strong, stable, and available in multiple shades to enable custom tooth tone aesthetics. The web application allows doctors to reduce inventory and provide incredible customization to their patients with over 8 million prescription options.
“Directly printing orthodontic brackets is now possible using the combined technologies of Formlabs and Braces On Demand,” says Colin Corey, CEO and co-founder of Braces On Demand. “We’re enabling orthodontists to become their own manufacturer.”
“Braces On Demand is creating a completely unique workflow that brings on-demand manufacturing to any orthodontic practice. They’re reducing costs while helping doctors deliver high quality, patient-specific care to their patients,” says Sam Wainwright, dental product manager at Formlabs. “In our mission to expand access to digital fabrication, bringing production of brackets in-house represents a major step forward for orthodontics done digitally.”
Formlabs has already impacted hundreds of thousands of patients by printing over 13 million dental parts on its printers. With its line of dental-specific printers and materials, this new partnership with Braces On Demand will further the company’s commitment to enabling its users to provide convenient and precise care for its patients.
Braces On Demand’s patent-pending technology is expected to launch in December 2020 in the United States. To learn more please visit dental.formlabs.com or bracesondemand.com.

Braces On Demand and Formlabs Announce FDA Clearance of Innovative 3D Printed Orthodontic System
With this FDA approval, the ground-breaking direct-bonded 3D printed orthodontic system will enable clinicians to manufacture brackets in-office, saving valuable time and money.
[Hicksville, NY] – March 22, 2021 - Braces On Demand, a technology start-up in the orthodontic industry, and Formlabs, a leading 3D printing company, today announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(K) clearance of the Braces On Demand Orthodontic System. This innovative direct-bonded, 3D printed orthodontic system utilizes patent-pending technology enabling clinicians to become their own manufacturer.
The Braces On Demand system seamlessly connects with Formlabs’ Form 3B printer, the company’s flagship dental 3D printer, and enables the clinician to print aesthetic braces and appliances on-demand, saving the cost associated with traditional brackets. The Braces On Demand web application enables clinicians to reduce inventory while also providing unprecedented prescription customization, with over 8 million unique prescription variations. Braces On Demand employs Formlabs’ Denture Teeth Resin as the base material to use along with the Form 3B, Form Wash, and Form Cure for simple and powerful in-office manufacturing.

Orthodontists can now precisely place Braces On Demand’s custom brackets using the DIBS AI digital indirect bonding platform to achieve even better treatment results in a shorter amount of time.

OrthoSelect Announces Compatibility of the Braces On Demand Bracket with their DIBS AI Digital Indirect Bonding System.
American Fork, UT. OrthoSelect, a leading orthodontics software company
and digital orthodontics laboratory, together with Braces On Demand, an in-office 3D printing
solution for orthodontic brackets and appliances, announce compatibility of their two systems.
Orthodontists can now precisely place Braces On Demand’s custom brackets using the DIBS AI
digital indirect bonding platform to achieve even better treatment results in a shorter amount of
time.
Ryan Williams, Vice President of Sales at OrthoSelect explained the breakthrough, “Imagine: In
only 30 minutes of chair time, your staff precisely places customizable brackets that are 3D
printed in-office for same-day turnaround for under $250! This combination has the potential to
substantially improve practice efficiency and profitability!”
Colin Corey, Braces On Demand co-founder and CEO, described the advantage, ”Bringing
manufacturing in-office eliminates supply chain delays and allows clinicians to provide their
patients with customized treatment plans. Compatibility with the DIBS AI platform will enable
doctors to significantly increase efficiencies in the orthodontic workflow.”
The DIBS AI software platform simplifies and automates the process of orthodontic patient case
setups, creates accurate predictive outcomes based on any bracket prescription, and provides
the flexibility to 3D print extremely accurate bracket transfer appliances (commonly known as
IDB trays). These advancements free up precious doctor, staff, and chair time by shortening
bonding appointments by a third or more, as well as reducing overall treatment time through
significant decreases in wire bending and bracket repositioning. The benefits in improved
accuracy and time savings typically result in a reduction of 25% or more of the orthodontist’s
cost of treatment.
Braces On Demand is an orthodontic technology start-up founded in 2019. Braces On Demand
was created with the purpose of developing a web application to 3D print orthodontic brackets
and appliances in-office. Braces On Demand is committed to continuing to push innovation in

Braces On Demand introduces fully customized 3D printed patient-specific braces.
HICKSVILLE, N.Y., APRIL 17, 2023 – Braces On Demand, a best-in-class online 3D printing
platform for in-office production of orthodontic fixed appliances, has created BLUEPRINT, a fully
customized, patient-specific bracket system. Powered by OrthoSelect’s DIBS AI, the industry’s
preferred precision bracket placement and treatment planning software, BLUEPRINT allows
orthodontists to embrace the latest in customized digital technology while gaining workflow
efficiencies and ensuring brackets are placed in the ideal position every time.
“With BLUEPRINT, bonding appointment times are reduced. Patients appreciate the comfort and
aesthetics of these braces, and they love that overall treatment time is shortened because bracket
repositioning is minimized and finishing appointments are decreased significantly,” shared Dr. Jep
Paschal, Braces On Demand’s Chief Clinical Officer. “The savings in chair time alone makes
BLUEPRINT a must-have for any practice that wants to increase both treatment and business
efficiency.”
“With this new technology, we developed a way to make the perfect bracket for each tooth,” said
Braces On Demand Founder and CEO, Colin Corey. “Accurate bracket placement is critical to
achieving the desired outcome with any custom bracket system. While indirect bonding trays have
been the industry standard for years, we will soon be introducing our Monolithic delivery system for
BLUEPRINT that can be printed in-office and will eliminate the need for traditional trays formed over
the brackets. We believe Monolithic will be the future of digital indirect bonding.”
Braces On Demand was founded in 2019 and received FDA-approval the following year. Created
with the purpose of developing a web application that would allow orthodontists to easily 3D print
customized brackets and fixed appliances in their office, Braces On Demand is revolutionizing the
