Branding dental aligner

wordmark logo design

Client design request

This company in Germany that produces transparent dental aligners and, depending on the shape of the tooth, different phases and different aligners are foreseen (hence the name steps), requested the creation of the brand identity design: professional logo design (wordmark type), business cards and letterhead and a company profile design to be used as a brochure presentation to customers and investors.

Logotype design idea

The logo is designed as a wordmark, communicating aesthetics and the positive experience of using dental aligners to achieve a perfect smile. Complementary graphic elements, such as the smile, convey optimism for the future, happiness, and personal satisfaction. The overall identity is modern, fresh, and tailored specifically to a younger demographic. Additionally, the arrow element signifies progression toward the next “step”—referencing the process of transitioning through the dental aligners included in the user’s treatment plan (which typically contains over 20 aligners).

These visual elements—the smile, the facial contours, and the teeth—are further amplified through a strategic use of color.

This project represents an example of a Brand Identity developed for a German company operating in a foreign market. The research and design strategy carefully considered the specific industry standards and the need to build a flexible visual system, easily adaptable across diverse communication channels.

Color Palette

Magenta’s color represents the mouth and gums and white represents the teeth. Other shades of peach and similar to the colors of the face and a neutral gray are also introduced. The tagline “Aligner” is placed above the logo, and helps to immediately identify the industry and purpose of the product.

Font design

The logo font was completely created from scratch, to be symmetrical based on the smile and to integrate with it.

Brand design

Finally, the logo is presented on real media, such as business cards and letterhead, and to complete the identity it is also presented on the product packaging.

Alternative Logo Design Proposal

Some alternative logotype variations feature different ways in which the central letter “e” plays a central role. Sometimes it refers to the “steps” and sometimes to the aligner itself.

Exhibition booth design for the EAS Congress in Brussels

In a later phase, I designed the visual communication for the Step Aligner booth at the EAS – European Aligner Society Congress in Brussels, applying the brand identity to large-format panels and display materials.

The project was designed to present the company’s core services instantly. This was achieved through a clear hierarchy of content, high-impact imagery, and a set of custom icons specifically created to represent the doctor portal, clinical treatment planning, and digital monitoring.

The 3D rendering shows a preliminary phase of the project, developed based on the initial dimensions provided and with a designated space for the monitor. The organizers subsequently changed the booth’s measurements and decided to use a screen on a mobile stand. I then adapted the composition to the final specifications and prepared all the final print-ready panels.
