CORRECTION
An article about clear aligners in our April issue
included incorrect information about Ormco's
Spark system. The company does indeed offer
a Mac-friendly version of its case-approval
software, and does not restrict submissions
from iTero scans to only .STL fi les. Orthotown
has corrected the online versions of this article,
and sincerely regrets the errors.
