Is the Flex right for you?
Because Flex runs on your laptop instead of a cart, it suits these working patterns particularly well:
Solo / private practice
Lower entry cost than cart-based iTero. Same scan quality. Pays for itself with two aligner cases / month on finance.
Group & multi-site
One wand, one laptop, multiple chairs. Move it between sites or surgeries instead of buying a cart per room.
Orthodontists
Outcome Simulator on the wand makes Flex the natural fit for ortho led practices and clear aligner clinics.
NHS / mixed practices
A scanner that doesn't dominate the surgery footprint, with finance options that keep monthly cost predictable.
Dental labs & technicians
Open STL means Flex slots into any digital lab workflow. We'll help your referrers integrate.
Domiciliary / community
Portable enough for care home and community visits where a cart simply can't go.

One scan. Four workflows. Two of them are ours.
The Flex outputs open STL, but the most profitable scans are the ones that come straight back to S4S, because you're not just buying a scanner from a reseller, you're buying into the production line of a UK dental lab.
Scan → Smilelign clear aligners
Upload your Flex scan, we plan the case, and our UK lab makes the aligners.
Scan → Vitalisse custom whitening trays
Send the Flex scan to our lab. We make precision fit whitening trays, ship them to you with gel, ready for the patient. No alginate, no posting, no 'boil and bite'.
Scan → S4S appliance lab
Sleep appliances, splints, sport gum-shields, ortho retention. same upload, same lab, same invoice as Smilelign and Vitalisse.
Scan → your existing lab
Open STL export plus direct. Nothing locks you in, but we make the S4S route the easiest one.
Scan once. Treat with Smilelign: UK made clear aligners.
Smilelign is our own clear aligner system, made in the UK by S4S. The iTero Flex pairs with it natively, every Flex you sell is a Smilelign-ready practice on day one.
Scan with Flex
Full upper + lower + bite. Same scan you'd take for any restorative case, no special protocol.
Upload to Smilelign portal
STL straight from MyiTero into the Smilelign treatment-planning portal. View the treatment plan through our portal and review any notes made by our technicians.
Aligners shipped UK-direct
Manufactured in our UK lab for a faster turnaround, simple-to-moderate cases. No customs, no overseas wait.
Better patient price
???
Better practice margin
Lower lab fees, faster turnaround, and the back-and-forth happens on UK time. More cases through the chair per quarter.
Clinical support included
Smilelign isn't a portal you're left to figure out. Our clinical team helps with case selection, IPR planning, and refinements.
Scan, send, whiten, Vitalisse custom trays from your Flex.
Vitalisse is our custom-tray whitening system. The Flex makes the digital impression; we make trays that fit better than any boil-and-bite, and dispatch them with gel ready for the patient.
Quick whitening scan
Five-minute scan. No alginate, no impressions, no posting trays back and forth.
We make the trays
Precision Vitalisse trays manufactured at S4S from your STL. Tighter fit means better gel contact, less leakage, better whitening result.
Trays + Gels delivered
Trays arrive at the practice with prescription gel. Ready to dispense to the patient at their next visit.
A whitening upsell on every scan
If you've already scanned the patient for an aligner, restorative or appliance case, the file is on hand for Vitalisse. Whitening becomes an add-on instead of a separate appointment.
Faster than impression-based whitening
Skip the alginate appointment entirely. Patients who came in for a check-up can leave with whitening on order.
Recurring revenue line
Vitalisse gel refills become a steady reorder line for the practice, and a steady reorder line for S4S.
