Digital Workflow Guide

From your first case registration to seamless repeat ordering — everything you need to submit, track, and receive cases digitally.

01

Register & Get Approved

Complete your practice registration at glamteeth.com/register. Provide practice name, primary doctor, NPI if applicable, address, phone, and email. Our team reviews and activates accounts within one business day. You receive an activation email with password setup and mandatory MFA enrollment.

Tips
Use your practice email for the account email
Have your NPI number ready (optional but recommended)
MFA setup takes under 2 minutes
02

Take or Export Your Scan

Scan the patient using your preferred intraoral scanner. Export the STL file(s) from your scanner software. Include upper, lower, and bite (occlusion) registration files as separate STL exports. Compress multiple files into a single ZIP for cleaner uploads.

Tips
Export upper + lower + bite as separate STLs
Compress to ZIP for files >50 MB
Check scan quality before uploading — rescan if margins are unclear
03

Submit via the Portal

Log in to your portal and click 'New Order.' Select product family and specific product type. Choose material and shade (VITA Classical or Operator shade). Enter tooth number(s), arch, and any special instructions. Upload your scan files plus any reference photos or Rx forms. Select your shipping address and requested due date. Review and submit — you receive Case ID confirmation instantly.

Tips
Use Anonymous Patient ID (chart number) — avoid full names
Upload reference photos for complex shade cases
Use 'Save as Draft' to complete the order later
04

Track Your Case in Real Time

Once submitted, your case appears in the Active Cases dashboard. Status updates automatically at each stage: Received → Design → Production → QC → Shipped. You receive email notifications at each major status change. For complex cases, a Design Review request may be sent for your approval before production begins.

Tips
Enable SMS notifications in Account Settings for real-time alerts
The Case Detail page shows all uploaded files and messages
Respond to Design Review requests promptly to avoid delays
05

Receive & Seat

Your case ships via FedEx or UPS with tracking number visible in your portal. Upon delivery, verify case ID matches the packing slip. Seat and confirm. If any adjustment is needed, use the two-way messaging in the Case Detail page to communicate with our team. Complete cases trigger an optional post-case satisfaction survey.

Tips
Tracking number appears in portal as soon as label is created
Check the restoration against the digital prescription summary
Remakes or adjustments communicated via portal message thread — not email
