About PlaniLink

PlaniLink is a digital service specialized in clinical planning for advanced dentistry. We create precise digital plans and deliver ready-to-print STL files directly to your clinic or lab.

We offer digital planning for Michigan splints, surgical implant guides, bracket transfer guides, full aligner treatment planning, and clinical evaluation of orthodontic cases.

We only deliver digital files. Final manufacturing is done in your own clinic or laboratory.

We work with dental clinics, orthodontists, implantologists, general practitioners… and labs seeking to optimize their digital workflow and maintain control over manufacturing.

Process and Timelines

Go to the “Upload My Case” section, select the planning type, drag and drop your STL files, and add your clinical preferences. The system will guide you in three steps.

At minimum, STL files of the upper and lower jaw. Depending on the planning type, CBCT scans, intra/extraoral photos, and occlusal data may be required.

You will receive the planning within 24 to 48 business hours after payment confirmation, provided the records are correct and complete.

Yes. You can share the viewer link or export STL files generated by those systems.

Payment and Billing

At the final step of the form. A secure gateway is enabled for credit/debit card payments.

Yes. An invoice is automatically sent via email upon payment completion. You can enter your preferred tax details in the designated field.

Only if the team has not started the planning. No refunds are issued once work begins.

Michigan Splints

Flat, canine guidance, combined (canine + anterior), and therapeutic. You can choose your preferred design when uploading the case.

Yes. We recommend indicating 2 mm, 3 mm, or a custom thickness. You may also add clinical requirements (windows, reliefs, etc.) in the notes.

Each splint is designed with a virtual articulator and controlled contacts to minimize adjustments. If records are accurate, placement is direct.

Bracket Guides

We work with all brands. Simply specify slot, torque, and desired height, or attach a keycard.

Yes. You can request full, semi-indirect, or quadrant-specific guides. Designs prioritize chairtime efficiency and bonding precision.

STL file of the transfer guide, model with brackets placed, and a PDF report with positioning references.

Surgical Implant Guides

Most systems, including Straumann®, MIS®, Nobel®, BioHorizons®, and compatible brands. Specify when submitting the case.

Full-field CBCT, STL of the jaw and opposing arch. For extensive surgeries, include an occlusal record.

STL file of the guide, angulation/depth chart, and milling recommendations. We also design for universal or system-specific sleeves.

Aligner Planning

Full treatment simulation, movement staging, strategic attachments, stripping (IPR) suggestions, and STL model sequences ready for printing.

Yes. Specify objectives, preferred biomechanics, key stages, or your own presets. Alternatively, let our team handle it.

Yes. We include a step-by-step 3D visualization and a PDF report with initial diagnosis and technical notes.

Case Evaluation (Second Opinion)

A full clinical analysis of an ongoing or planned treatment. We provide a written report with diagnosis, proposed biomechanics, and key considerations.

No. This service includes only the written report. If planning is needed, it is quoted separately.

Adjustments and Support

Yes. Minor adjustments can be requested within 7 days of delivery.

Yes. Contact us via email or WhatsApp. Responses are provided during business hours (CET).

We sell PDF guides with printing protocols.

Security and Privacy

All data is encrypted during transfer and storage. We comply with GDPR and HIPAA-compatible protocols.

Yes. By default, we retain cases for 90 days for support or revisions, but early deletion can be requested.

PlaniLink acts as an external planning service. Clinical execution and final manufacturing remain the responsibility of the licensed professional.

E-books (Digital Guides)

Each e-book provides structured, tested clinical and lab content. Based on current literature, real cases, and practical experience, it includes applicable protocols, checklists, suggested parameters, and material recommendations. No theory—just results from real-world testing and optimization.

Interactive PDF (A4) and EPUB (tablet-compatible).

Via the website using a secure card payment gateway. The download link is sent instantly.

Yes. All e-books are revised at least yearly. Minor updates are free for registered buyers.
