If you are a dentist looking to add clear aligner treatment to your practice, we have you covered.
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligner therapy is currently the fastest-growing form of orthodontic treatment in the UK. As more patients are opting for less invasive forms of treatment, the boost in cosmetic dentistry following the COVID-19 pandemic continues to weigh on demand.
Clear aligners are thin, clear, flexible plastic braces, which fit closely over the teeth. A series of aligners are used to move the teeth incrementally according to a treatment plan developed by the doctor and our team.
Let us delve deeper into why clear aligner treatment is right for your practice.
Why Dentists Love ClearCorrect Aligners
Over the past 17 years, dentists all over the UK have been switching to ClearCorrect aligners after realising the power and benefits of using the ClearCorrect aligner system.
The ClearQuartz™ Tri-layer Material
ClearQuartz features an elastomeric layer (A) between two resilient, low-porosity shells (B). The outer layers allow the aligner to be tough and stain-resistant, while the inner layer allows the aligner to apply gentle, consistent pressure. Even better, ClearQuartz retains 10x more of its initial force than other aligners,* and retains its shape throughout the wear time of the aligner.

The ClearCorrect Trimline
To work, orthodontic devices have to stay on, and that’s exactly what ClearCorrect aligners are best at. Other aligners relax and lose grip over the wear time. ClearCorrect aligners are specifically designed to move teeth with fewer engagers effectively. In fact, due to their smooth flat trimline that extends past the teeth, ClearCorrect aligners are 2.5x more retentive than aligners with a scalloped trimline. Without the need for additional engagers, making results more predictable and your patients will love the outcome.
No Setup Fees
When initiating a ClearCorrect treatment for a patient, you do not get charged a set up fee. Which can lead to huge havings for you and your practise and an increase in the number of patients who decide to proceed with their treatment.
What malocclusions can ClearCorrect be used to treat?
Smiles come in all shapes and sizes, and so do malocclusions. ClearCorrect can straighten a wide variety of smiles in both teens and adults. Some common cases dentists use our aligners to treat are;
Overjet, commonly known as "buck teeth," refers to the horizontal gap between the upper and lower front teeth, where the upper teeth protrude beyond the lower ones.
Crossbite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not align properly horizontally. It may manifest as a posterior crossbite (back teeth misalignment) or an anterior crossbite (front teeth misalignment).
Open bite is characterised by a gap between the upper and lower front teeth when the jaws are closed, preventing the teeth from making contact.
Deep bite, or overbite, occurs when the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth vertically.
Crowding is the result of insufficient space in the jaw for all teeth, causing them to overlap or twist.
Spacing refers to gaps or spaces between teeth, commonly known as diastema
This occurs when the upper teeth meet the lower teeth one to one
When there is a discrepancy of the midsagittal line of maxillary and the mandibular dental arches.
