Orthosnap Clear Aligners were invented by Dr. Yan Pogorelsky to address the shortcomings of legacy systems currently on the market.

Orthosnap Clear Aligner Systems have been awarded three individual US patents and has been registered with the FDA.

In the first three years, Orthosnap conducted clinical and market trials with over 2,000 cases, which demonstrated its superior effectiveness and possibilities for a broad application in a wider variety of clinical scenarios. 

Our patented manufacturing process allows us to reduce plastic waste while retaining the highest precision and sophistication needed for more difficult clinical cases.

Orthosnap is a full-service aligner manufacturer offering technical and clinical support as well as training, free of charge to its customers. Our corporation's headquarters and manufacturing facility are located in Westbury, NY. Come say hi!
