Elevating Orthodontic Excellence in South America with Taglus  

Client: Dental Distributor | South America (Peru)

About the Client & Partnership

Founded in 2000, this Peruvian dental distributor has grown into one of the most trusted names in South America’s dental industry. Built on the philosophy of “by dentists, for dentists,” the company serves a broad professional network that includes orthodontists, endodontists, general dental practitioners, universities, postgraduate institutions, and sub-distributors across the region.

With a strong reputation for clinical reliability, the distributor consistently evaluates and supplies advanced solutions that support evolving dental workflows, particularly in orthodontics.

For over two years, the partnership with Taglus has combined advanced aligner materials and thermoforming technology with the distributor’s regional market reach.

Together, they support dental professionals with materials and technologies designed for both premium aligner workflows and high-volume production across South America.

The Challenge: Meeting Rising Aligner Expectations

As aligner adoption increased across South America, the distributor began facing limitations with the sheet materials they previously offered. These products struggled to meet growing expectations around:

• Material clarity
• Formability
• Consistency in thermoforming
• Scalability for higher production volumes

The Founder and CEO explains:

“We realized orthodontists were looking for sheets with higher clarity, better formability, and greater consistency. There was a clear need for premium-quality materials in our portfolio.”

This gap was not only a product performance issue, but also a missed market opportunity, as more orthodontists in the region began shifting toward advanced aligner workflows.

Taglus is a leading manufacturer of cutting-edge thermoforming workflow solutions. Taglus clear aligner materials are engineered to combine flexibility, strength, clarity, and performance.Trusted worldwide, Taglus products meet rigorous international regulatory standards, validated by certifications including ANVISA (Brazil & South America), ISO 13485:2016, UKCA, CE, and more.

The Solution: Partnering with Taglus

In 2023, the distributor partnered with Taglus, introducing Taglus aligner sheets and thermoforming machines to their customers.

Despite the relatively short duration of the partnership, adoption was rapid.

“The quality of Taglus products is well recognized by orthodontists in our region. Taglus Premium and PU Flex sheets have quickly become favourites among our clients,” shares the CEO and founder.

Beyond product performance, two factors played a critical role in accelerating market acceptance:

• Competitive pricing, enabling easier entry into the aligner segment
• Strong marketing support, helping educate customers and position the brand effectively

The CEO continues, “For the aligner market, pricing and marketing support from Taglus have been the most valuable. It helps us educate customers and position the brand effectively.”

At Taglus, partnerships are built on a shared goal of advancing orthodontic care through dependable materials, continuous market education, and long-term collaboration.

By combining product innovation with distributor-focused support, Taglus aims to help partners grow sustainably while enabling orthodontists to deliver predictable, high-quality aligner treatments.

Customer Response & Market Impact

Although the partnership is still in its early stages, the response from orthodontists and dental labs has been overwhelmingly positive.

Key outcomes include:

• Existing customers switching from previous brands to Taglus after direct comparison
• Improved confidence among orthodontists due to superior clarity and durability
• Stronger relationships with long-term clients

The Founder & CEO says, “Our customers appreciate the superior clarity and durability of Taglus Premium and PU Flex. These products have strengthened our relationship with long-time clients who value reliability and consistency.”

Looking Ahead: Expanding Across Market Segments

The distributor sees strong potential to expand the partnership further, especially in the standard plastic sheets segment targeting the cost-sensitive retainer market.

“Taglus brings us the quality and innovation our market needs – and the flexibility to cater to different price segments. We’re confident this partnership will continue to grow and help us serve even more orthodontists and clinics across our region,” says the CEO.

With Taglus’ diverse product range, the distributor is well positioned to support both premium aligner workflows and high-volume retainer production.

Looking ahead, Taglus continues to invest in advanced material science, scalable manufacturing, and market-driven innovation to support the future of orthodontics. By aligning product development with evolving clinical and commercial needs, Taglus helps partners stay prepared for what’s next.
