The new collaboration aims to enhance treatment predictability and set a higher standard in clear aligner therapy.
ClearCorrect, the Straumann Group’s clear aligner brand, has announced a strategic partnership with Digital Smile Design (DSD). The alliance combines ClearCorrect’s advanced aligner technology with DSD’s internationally recognized facially guided, interdisciplinary planning approach. Together, the brands are launching a streamlined aligner workflow designed to improve digital treatment planning and elevate care standards for clinicians across the UK.
DSD specializes in digital treatment planning and laboratory services that integrate facially driven smile design with TMJ and airway analysis. Its comprehensive support spans every stage of treatment—from diagnostic design and case analysis to planning, quality control, and refinements—making it especially beneficial for complex orthodontic cases. Through this partnership, clinicians of all experience levels can deliver predictable, aesthetic, and functionally superior results while enhancing patient confidence.
The collaboration links ClearCorrect’s aligner system directly with DSD’s Planning Center, offering clinicians a seamless, efficient, and reliable workflow to achieve outstanding outcomes.
“By partnering with DSD, we’re helping dental professionals streamline their workflow, reduce complexity, and focus more on exceptional patient care,” said Kate Keating, Head of Orthodontics, ClearCorrect UK. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation and to providing clinicians with the tools they need to grow their practices.”
A Workflow Tailored for Modern Dentistry
The new ClearCorrect-DSD workflow is designed for clinicians practicing interdisciplinary dentistry who want to integrate aesthetic, restorative, and orthodontic planning into a unified process. Key benefits include:
Faster turnaround: Experienced orthodontists at DSD’s Planning Center finalize case plans in as few as five to seven days, allowing treatment to begin without delays.
Simplified administration: Clinicians no longer manage multiple file submissions or extensive back-and-forth communication with technicians, as all steps are handled seamlessly.
Aligned with clinical goals: ClearCorrect setups follow DSD’s diagnostic and aesthetic guidance, enabling predictable outcomes that reflect each patient’s facial characteristics and long-term oral health objectives.
Advancing Multidisciplinary Digital Dentistry
Straumann Group and DSD share a vision of driving digital dentistry through collaboration, innovation, and customer-focused solutions. This partnership marks a major step toward a fully integrated ecosystem where clinicians can plan, design, and deliver treatment more efficiently.
“ClearCorrect provides powerful technology and planning tools, while DSD brings expertise in interdisciplinary planning and smile design. Together, we offer a comprehensive system that makes aligner treatment accurate, efficient, and accessible for dental professionals who work with DSD,” said Dr. Daniel Ramos, Clinical Director of Orthodontics, DSD.
