When you start offering aligners, three things change at once.

Patients already ask. You already lose cases. Aligners pay back across patient outcomes, clinical growth, and practice revenue.

Three things every GP worries about before their first case.

Common worries from new providers. Each has a concrete answer in the Mia workflow.

Fear 01

"What if I pick the wrong case?"

How Mia solves it

Case selection is a team decision. Every first case is reviewed by our clinical planning team before treatment starts, we tell you if it’s a safe starter or one to refer. You don’t pick alone.

Questions first-case dentists ask

The honest answers, before you book.

Case selection, scanners, fees, and support. WhatsApp us if yours is not here.

Two things happen. First, refinements are included in the standard case price, if the plan needs adjusting, we re-scan, re-plan and re-print without an upcharge. Second, every first case is pre-screened by our clinical team for tracking risk before treatment starts. If a case is at the limit of what aligners can do, we’ll tell you up front, before you commit your patient. The combination means a non-tracking first case is far less likely than the internet would have you believe.

No, you can start with conventional impressions and we’ll convert them. We do recommend an IOS once you’re running 1 to 2 cases a month because it transforms the experience for you and the patient. We can also advise on which scanner to consider when you’re ready, and most major brands work with our workflow. Don’t let the scanner question delay your first case.

You don’t have to. Our planning team does the heavy lifting on case design, attachments and staging, you focus on chairside delivery. As you build confidence we ramp up your involvement at your pace. The free CPD library has the underlying theory if you want to go deeper, but it’s never a prerequisite for running a Mia case.

You have a direct line to a senior clinician via WhatsApp, voice notes, screen-share, photos. Plus a standing weekly clinical review slot where complex questions get worked through with a peer. If a plan needs to be taken over, one of our senior clinicians can step in to manage it from there. No patient is ever abandoned mid-treatment. That is the entire point of the support stack.
