,ClearQuartz tri-layer material and user-friendly ClearPilot treatment planning software make these clear aligners an easy and affordable treatment option for patient and practice, ,Taking on clear aligner cases in your practice can seem overwhelming at first. With multiple providers to choose from, how do you know that you’re making the best decision for your practice’s bottom line? How do you know that your patients will be compliant? Nearly a decade ago, Dr. Lawrence Leibowitz was in that exact scenario. But after witnessing a growing patient demand for clear aligner treatment in his practice, he decided to take the plunge. While he was able to meet his patients’ alignment needs well enough, a colleague shared the tremendous success he was having with one provider: ClearCorrect., ,
, ,“One of the first things I noticed after switching to ClearCorrect was how much more affordable it was for my patients and practice,” shared Dr. Leibowitz., ,
, ,“All of my patients feel that the aligners are very comfortable and easy to insert.”,– Lawrence Leibowitz, DDS, , ,In addition to cost savings, ClearCorrect offers ClearPilot, a robust yet easy-to-use clear aligner treatment planning software. Its 3D sequential animation of teeth movement provides a visual simulation of the treatment plan. This visualization, combined with convenient access to digital scans, x-rays, and other patient data, gives clinicians and their patients a clear view of how treatment will unfold and what the planned outcome will look like., ,
Clinicians can access ClearPilot online by logging into the ClearCorrect Doctor Portal. After a case is submitted, they receive a notification when the treatment setup is ready for their review in ClearPilot. Best of all, this virtual treatment simulation, which includes an interactive tooth movement chart, is easy for patients to understand., ,“The ClearPilot software is user-friendly, and it’s easy to show to the patient,” noted Dr. Leibowitz. “Other companies’ interfaces make it much more difficult to show to the patient in a way that they can understand. Most patients want to see their treatment laid out very simply.” It’s crucial for patients to understand the extent of their clear aligner treatment, as it increases the likelihood that they will be compliant with wearing their aligners. “Patients want to see what their end-result smile is going to look like, so it’s very important for them to easily see that,” added Dr. Leibowitz. “When I show a patient what we’re going to do, I don’t want their eyes to be glazing over. ClearPilot is easy for them to understand and very patient-friendly.”, ,ClearCorrect is a manufacturer that understands the value of soliciting customer feedback and turning it into tangible updates and improvements. When customers asked for aligners that could be durable yet still comfortable for patients, ClearCorrect responded with its state-of-the-art, tri-layer aligner material, ClearQuartz. The material is designed to expertly withstand sustained force, offer greater clarity, and provide excellent tooth adaptation., ,“I have never had an issue with patient comfort when it comes to ClearCorrect,” said Dr. Leibowitz. “All of my patients feel that the aligners are very comfortable and easy to insert.”, ,ClearCorrect aligners also feature a smooth, unscalloped trim line that extends past the gingival margin. According to research, aligners trimmed with this technique are significantly more retentive than scalloped aligners, which can reduce the need for attachments. Fewer attachments mean the aligners fit the teeth more intimately, and that often translates to better esthetics., ,“ClearCorrect works really well for straightening teeth and getting arches aligned,” said Dr. Leibowitz. “And I’ve never had a problem with clarity or staining. The esthetics are great.”
