Building on the success of its trimline design and extensive support tools, ClearCorrect looks to a future of fully digital workflows and multidisciplinary treatment plans
If you had a dollar for every patient who’s ever opted for clear aligner treatment, you’d likely have several million dollars. In fact, the number of general dentists who now offer clear aligner therapy has grown exponentially over the last decade. It’s a fact that’s top of mind for Luciana Arcaro, Director of Clinical Affairs for Straumann Enterprise Solutions.
“The clear aligner industry is the fastest growing segment of the dental industry, and we’ve found that orthodontics is the new normal,” Dr. Arcaro shared. “We’re looking at a prevalence of increased malocclusion in the years to come and we're constantly looking for ways to remain part of this trend.”
Science Meets Patient Care
Mike Beck, Vice President of Ortho Sales at ClearCorrect, emphasizes how Straumann Group's support has seamlessly blended science with patient centered design—equipping clinicians with the tools they need to drive improved patient outcomes.
“Our focus is on both clinical precision and patient comfort,” Beck shared. “The high and flat trimline design improves fit and also enhances patient comfort. Moving forward, we’re also focused on providing doctors with the tools, support, and education they need to grow their practices."
A Scientific Edge from Straumann
ClearCorrect began in 2006 and in 2017 was acquired by Straumann Group, a global manufacturer with extensive research capabilities. This partnership has resulted in a quality clear aligner system, as well as clinical training and support that's unmatched in the industry. It's a benefit highlighted by Dr. Arcaro, who believes it's the company's ability to blend technologies and offer a multidisciplinary approach that sets it apart from competitors.
"Straumann Group has a heavy scientific mind for applications, and we're able to provide clinical features that allow us to shorten treatment planning time for complex cases. Patients can receive multidisciplinary treatments at the same time, such as implants and alignment, saving patient and chair time,” said Dr. Arcaro.
She also pointed out the significant boost in efficiency that using a fully digital aligner workflow offers. Plus, the research capabilities of Straumann Group enable ClearCorrect to continually offer new product enhancements, such as the recent rollouts of anterior and posterior bite ramps, arch editing tools, bite jump simulation, the ClearCorrect Doctor Portal, Sync Mobile App, and ClearPilot 8.0.
“Our Ortho Campus and a robust mentorship program can take a clinician from beginner to aligner expert,” she added. “We’re going to continue to support our clinicians’ digital workflow.”
