Alignova: The Best Clear Aligner Lab in Pakistan for Dentists and Orthodontists
A digital aligner lab with a clinic portal, doctor approvals on a real setup video, per-tray pricing that drops on longer courses, courier dispatch tracking and a patient wear-tracker app. Here is how Alignova works and how a clinic starts a case.
If you offer clear aligners in Pakistan, the lab you work with decides most of your experience: how long a setup takes, how clearly the price is quoted, whether you can approve a case without a phone call, and whether a delivery arrives with a tracking number or a shrug. Alignova was built to fix each of those, and this article walks through how a case actually moves through it.
A clinic portal, not a WhatsApp thread
Every clinic gets its own portal login. From there you submit a case with the patient’s records, upload scans, photos and STL files (compressed archives are unpacked automatically), pick the turnaround, and see every case you have ever sent with its current stage. Staff at the lab work off the same record, so what you see is what they see.
Approve the setup on a real video
When the treatment setup is ready, the lab shares it to your portal as a model video or simulation, together with the tray count and the price. You approve, approve with instructions, or send it back with changes. The lab cannot share a setup for approval until the tray count and price exist, so you are never asked to sign off a blank.
Pricing you can see before you commit
Alignova bills per tray in PKR. A course up to the lab’s threshold bills at the standard rate, and a longer course bills every tray at a lower bulk rate. The clinic price is shown live next to the tray count in the portal, and the invoice itemises it:
| Line | What it is |
|---|---|
| Clear aligners, N trays | The tray count at the tier rate that applies to the whole course. |
| Discount | Any agreed reduction, as its own line, in percent or in PKR. |
| Express delivery | A separate surcharge only if you chose a faster turnaround. |
The invoice is raised automatically when the tray count is set, lands on your clinic statement in the portal, and if the count changes the old invoice is voided and a new one issued, so nothing is edited under you.
Turnaround with a due date, not a guess
Each case carries a turnaround promise. The due date is calculated from when records were received, express options are priced as a separate line, and the lab’s own board flags anything at risk of running late.
Manufacturing with a checklist, dispatch with tracking
Before a case can leave the lab, the packaging checklist has to be complete: product checked, patient name and group ID checked, quantity and upper/lower checked, accessories and instructions included, box packed, final QC done. Dispatch then records the courier, tracking number, receiver and delivery address, and you see those in the portal.
A patient app for wear time
Each case can have a patient login for a lightweight app that shows the current tray, logs daily wear hours and progress photos, and reminds the patient to change trays. The lab and the clinic can review the photos, which makes refinements easier to justify.
Chat, notes and approvals stay on the case
The portal has a chat channel between your clinic and the lab, and every case carries its own notes, files, approvals and timeline. A question about a setup is answered where the setup lives.
Why we call it the best lab in Pakistan
Not because of a slogan. Because the price is visible before approval, the setup is approved on a video rather than a phone call, the invoice matches the quote line for line, the box does not leave without a checklist, and the delivery has a tracking number. Those are the things that go wrong with aligner labs, and Alignova has built its whole workflow around not letting them.

Frequently asked questions
What is Alignova?
Alignova is a clear aligner laboratory in Pakistan that runs entirely on a digital workflow at alignova.cloud. Clinics submit cases through their own portal, approve the treatment setup on a model video, track every stage from records to dispatch, and are billed per tray at a rate that is shown before the case is approved.
How do I send a case?
Sign in to the clinic portal at alignova.cloud, submit the case with the patient’s records, scans or photos, and choose the turnaround. The lab prepares the setup; you approve it in the portal, and the trays are manufactured, packed with a checklist and dispatched by courier with a tracking number.
How is pricing worked out?
Per aligner tray, in PKR. A course up to a set number of trays bills at the standard rate and a longer course bills every tray at a lower bulk rate, so a longer treatment costs less per tray. Express turnaround is a separate, clearly labelled line, and any agreed discount appears on the invoice as its own line rather than hidden in the rate.
Can my patients track their wear time?
Yes. Each case can have a patient login for a small app that tracks the current tray, daily wear hours and progress photos, which the lab and the clinic can review.
Is there a way to talk to the lab about a case?
Yes. The portal has a chat per clinic with the lab, plus notes and approvals on each case, so questions about a setup or a refinement stay attached to the case instead of scattered across WhatsApp.
