Treatment Planning Optimisation (TPO) & Treatment Planning Support (TPS) with AlignerService
Updated 2025
Table of contents
What is TPO/TPS?
TPO = Treatment Planning Optimisation
TPS = Treatment Planning Support
At AlignerService, our licensed dentists and orthodontists optimise your treatment plans and provide hands-on support throughout the case.
Unlike most providers, we do not assign your case to a random technician. Instead, you choose the specialist you want to collaborate with. This gives you a consistent partner who understands your treatment preferences and works with you across multiple cases.
We not only optimise treatment plans – we help you save valuable chair time:
-
On average, our doctors save 3 hours of chair time per case.
-
By reducing unnecessary revisions, rescan appointments, and avoidable changes of attachments/engagers.
When and why TPO/TPS?
AlignerService TPO/TPS is ideal if:
-
You are new to clear aligners and want clinical guidance with confidence.
-
You want to reduce midcourse corrections and unpredictable revisions.
-
You want to save time – less rescanning, fewer chairside corrections, and less frustration for patients.
-
You want a dedicated orthodontic partner, not a rotating pool of anonymous technicians.
-
You need ortho-restorative planning that fits into comprehensive dentistry, not just straightening teeth.
