How is GuidedSMILE Lite different from CHROME GuidedSMILE and the other family products?

The biggest distinction is the guide material. GuidedSMILE Lite uses plastic surgical guides, while the flagship CHROME GuidedSMILE and several other family members use metal (cobalt-chromium) guides. The eBook notes that the metal CoCr guides are engineered to be very strong and rigid; the Lite system trades the all-metal construction for a more affordable plastic-based design while preserving the guided workflow.

Here is how Lite compares with other members of the family:

System Guide Material Ideal Application Final Prosthesis
GuidedSMILE Lite Plastic Budget-conscious cases Ivotion® PMMA (upgradeable)
CHROME GuidedSMILE (Full) Metal (CoCr) All patient types Premium zirconia or nano-ceramic
GuidedSMILE Natural Metal (scalloped) High smile line, gummy smiles Premium zirconia or nano-ceramic
GuidedSMILE Zygo Metal (zygo design) Zygomatic or pterygoid implants Premium zirconia or nano-ceramic

Design-option differences are also worth noting:

System Prosthesis Design Options Additional Records
GuidedSMILE Lite FP3 No additional records
CHROME GuidedSMILE (Full) FP3 / FP2 No additional records
GuidedSMILE Natural FP1 High smile line measurement if applicable
GuidedSMILE Zygo FP3 / FP2 / FP1 CBCT scan must include the eye orbits
