Connecting clinicians with experienced mentors using ClearCorrect and orthobrain’s Mentor TPS program , ,Taking a deep dive or even getting one’s feet wet in clear aligner therapy can be intimidating for a general dentist. Fortunately,
ClearCorrect has partnered with orthobrain to provide the support that may be needed for all case types, including more complex cases. Mentor Treatment Planning Services, or Mentor TPS, is for dentists and orthodontists who are new to clear aligners, as well as more experienced clinicians who need help with a diffi cult case or are looking to maximize their effi ciency. Mentors guide the clinician through the case to help achieve successful results., ,Dr. Marika Dekanoidze, a general practitioner in Toronto, Canada, says that mentors can help in a number of ways. “If the doctor isn’t sure if they feel comfortable taking on the case, they could just send in photographs,” explained Dr. Dekanoidze. “Then, orthobrain would review the case and maybe advise the doctor seeking assistance that the case is either too difficult for a beginner, or they might say it can be worked on together.”, ,Clinicians have options when it comes to Mentor TPS to help guide them in the right direction. From helping in patient selection through treatment planning and support for the duration of the case, Mentor TPS gives you options to support you and your patient every step of the way., ,ClearCorrect’s partnership with orthobrain, a third-party group of experienced clinicians, allows dentists to have a TPS mentor collaborate on their cases. Then, the mentor and the dentist are able to communicate directly with each other through the use of the orthobrain platform., ,Mentor TPS thoroughly reviews the case and the dentist’s goals to help ensure they start out on the right foot with the support they need. After reviewing the case, orthobrain provides a prescription for a more predictable treatment plan. At that point, they communicate with the ClearCorrect technician to generate a digital treatment plan and tell the dentist when their case is ready for their consideration and approval., ,“They have individualized contact with the dentist, and communication has been simple,” shared Dr. Dekanoidze., ,For those who are thinking of jumping into clear aligner therapy, Dr. Dekanoidze affi rms it is an incredible opportunity to transform your practice., ,“Don’t be afraid to tackle certain cases—it’s been pretty much a notion of the past that certain cases cannot be treated with aligners,” she advised., ,According to Dr. Dekanoidze, the benefi ts of incorporating clear aligners into your practice outweigh the hesitations some dentists may have. “I gained a signifi cant amount of revenue by utilizing clear aligners in my practice,” she shared. “Keep an open mind and understand that there is an organization behind you that will give you a hand and have your back.”
