How much tooth movement is possible with CLEARaline per tray and per case?

CLEARaline moves teeth in small, controlled increments. Each tray has a per-tray maximum, and each case has a cumulative per-case maximum that is higher when attachments are used (see FAQ 4). The table below lists the movement maximums published in ROE's CLEARaline guide.

Movement Per tray max Anterior (no attach.) Anterior (with attach.) Posterior (with attach.)
Rotation 2° 28° 40° 30°
Inclination 1° 7° 14° 10°
Angulation 1° 7° 14° 5°
Extrusion (attachments only) 0.25 mm N/A 2.5 mm 1.0 mm
Intrusion 0.25 mm 2.5 mm 2.5 mm 2.0 mm
Translation: left/right 0.25 mm 2.5 mm 2.5 mm 2.5 mm
Translation: forward/backward 0.25 mm Depends on lower buccal tooth position Depends on lower buccal tooth position Distal 2.0 mm, Mesial 1.5 mm

Two practical takeaways: extrusion requires attachments (it is not available for anterior cases without them), and attachments roughly double the per-case rotation, inclination, and angulation achievable in the anterior. If a planned correction exceeds these figures, the case is outside CLEARaline's range. ROE's design team builds the staging to stay within the per-tray maximums automatically.
