What is Modelaider?
The name says it: Modelaider aids in pouring dental stone models. It is the only patented, USA-made tool that gives your staff everything they need to deliver custom whitening trays, mouthguards, night guards, snore guards, and more chairside, during any existing appointment. No model trimmer. No lab. No second appointment.
Before you look at the numbers
Are you asking your patients if they want whiter teeth?
It is the simplest conversation your team can have with every patient, and it opens the door to restorative and cosmetic treatment discussions that follow.[8]
67%[1]
of American adults have already tried to whiten their teeth
35M[2]
whitening procedures performed in the U.S. last year
90%[10]
of orthodontic patients bring it up themselves
Most dental offices stopped asking after COVID.[5][6] Staffing shortages, schedule pressure, and the shift to urgent care quietly pushed whitening off the menu. Patients kept wanting it. They just started buying strips at the drugstore instead.[3]
The Modelaider® workflow brings whitening back into your office without adding anything to the dentist’s schedule or workload. Here are three ways to implement it:
Couple it with the routine hygiene visit
Impression taken at the start of the cleaning. Trays fabricated while the teeth are being cleaned. Custom trays delivered at the end of the appointment. This is the ideal time, since bleaching agents work most effectively on freshly cleaned teeth free of plaque, tartar, and biofilm.[12] If your practice offers a per-case staff bonus, the hygienist or dental assistant who runs the workflow earns it directly.
Ask and take impressions same day
Start asking patients at any appointment if they would like whiter teeth. Take the impression right then while they are in the chair. Fabricate and deliver the trays before they leave. One conversation, one visit, done.
Two-visit option
Impressions taken at one appointment, trays delivered at the next. Works for patients who prefer a separate visit, or for offices that want to batch tray fabrication. The practice decides. The patient chooses what works for them.
The patient leaves with custom tooth whitening trays in hand. The workflow pays for itself fast. Every case after that is practice revenue.

Why add this now
Three reasons no dental practice should wait.
Your practice is giving away $69,120 per year in revenue your patients are already spending elsewhere.
68.67% of whitening revenue has moved to at-home and DIY.[3] No insurance. No write-downs. Cash at every appointment. The number above updates to your practice when you enter your fee and case volume below.

Give your staff a raise. The procedure pays for it.
A $45 per case staff bonus adds $8,640 per year in staff compensation, funded entirely by the whitening workflow. In a staffing crisis where 95% of dentists say hiring is extremely challenging,[6] retention is your most effective strategy.
Whitening patients do 40 to 60% more dentistry. Stop sending them to the drugstore.
Every patient buying strips at the drugstore is a restorative patient who will never bond with your practice over their smile. You are not just losing the whitening revenue. You are losing the relationship. Practices that added professional whitening saw their patient base grow 15 to 20%, with 95% becoming long-term patients.[11]

Testimonial from a dental professional who tried it
“I got to have it!”
“I was honestly blown away by this. I did not think it would work, but the magic happens the second you pour the stone into the Modelaider. I do not even have a model trimmer anymore. I got rid of everything I used to rely on. There is no reason to say you cannot pour models while the patient is still in the chair. You absolutely can!”
