What is the advantage of CLEARaline versus similar clear aligners on the market?
CLEARaline is specifically designed to treat mild-to-moderate anterior cases. With a more specific patient focus, we can offer an option that is significantly more affordable than broader-targeted systems such as Invisalign.
What orthodontic conditions does CLEARaline treat?
CLEARaline is a treatment option for mild-to-moderate anterior cases with:
- Crowding
- Spacing
- Midline shifts
- Anterior open bite
- Minor anterior crossbite
CLEARaline is not recommend for movements that require elastics or treating full posterior crossbites.
In a typical practice how many patients will qualify for CLEARaline?
If you are a general dentist, about 70 to 80% of your patients will qualify for CLEARaline treatment.
Do I get billed for anything if my patient case does not qualify for CLEARaline?
No, if a patient is determined not to be a candidate for treatment, you are not billed.
How long does a patient wear a CLEARaline tray?
The trays are designed to be worn for two weeks at a time. Depending on the age of the patient, their teeth may move slower or faster, so it is possible to need to change trays between 1 and 3 weeks.
How does the whole process work?
1. Doctor submits patient records to ROE via the online portal.
2. Within 4 days, ROE sends a link to the custom treatment plan for the doctor to review
3. Doctor approves the plan or requests a re-design (1 free re-design per case).
What is included in the Treatment Plan?
1. Number of Trays
2. Before and After 3D simulations
3. Patient Information
4. IPR and Attachment Chart
5. Tooth Movement Report
What is the turnaround time for re-designs?
48 to 72 hours.
What is the average number of trays required per case?
13 to 14 trays per arch is the average. For the most complex cases, up to 28 trays per arch may be required, but it is not common.
My treatment plan includes attachments. How does that work?
ROE provides you with a template tray to place the attachments chairside. Each treatment plan will indicate at which stage the attachments will need to be placed. 99% of the time, the treatment plan will indicate placing before the patient starts tray one. However, in cases with severe crowding, it would be at stage three to five. Overall, only about 30% of cases will require attachments.
What records do doctors need to get started?
To get started, please submit to ROE:
- Patient photographs
- Completed CLEARaline Rx form
- IOS or PVS impressions
- (Optional) X-Rays
I submitted my records. How soon can I expect to receive my patient’s new treatment plan?
You may expect to receive your online treatment plan in as little as 4 business days, Monday through Friday. Once you have reviewed the treatment plan, you may decide to approve for production or send back for re-design.
I have approved a design. How soon can I expect to receive aligners?
Approximately 8 business days, not including shipping.
