uLab, Mari’s List partner to maximize savings for mutual members

---

uLab Systems, the creator of the uSmile clear aligner platform, has partnered with Mari’s List, an orthodontic study club and buying group, to offer an exclusive program for orthodontists to grow their business with uLab and simultaneously save on their Mari’s list membership fee.

According to a news release, this new program is in addition to the discount benefits that Mari’s List members receive on uLab products.

Mari Sawtelle, founder of Mari’s List, said that the organizations share the belief that the orthodontist is the expert when it comes to tooth movement. 

“uLab’s offerings reflect this belief by enabling control and flexibility for shared customers,” she said in the news release.

Dr. Bill Layman, who uses uLab products and is a Mari’s list member, said the joint venture is a great way to put controls in place to hedge the inflationary pressures clinicians are facing.

Mari’s List has served the orthodontic community for over 10 years and has grown to over 2,400 members. 

The list is comprised of the highest quality products at pre-negotiated prices to eliminate the need for each office to negotiate individual vendor contracts. Members report savings of $15,000 to $100,000 annually due to the buying power of the group.

uLab launched the uSmile clear aligner platform in 2020, providing aligners manufactured in Memphis, Tennessee. The uLab platform allows orthodontists ultimate control over their aligner treatments by enabling hybrid and combo options, finishing brackets cases with aligners, and customization of staging, treatment velocity, attachments, and trimlines. uSmile aligners can be delivered in as few as 3-business days from case acceptance and is the first company to offer aligner packaging customized with the orthodontist’s practice logo. According to the company, clinicians have planned over 800,000 aligner treatment cases to date.
