The rising popularity of ClearCorrect and other clear aligner providers has spikedoverthepastdecade,andisonlyexpectedtocontinueitsaggressive growth trajectory. According to a recent Azoth Analytics research report, the global invisible braces market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 12.16 per cent from 2016 to 2021. Now more teens and adults are seeking orthodontic treatment for a wide variety of reasons, such as, improved aesthetics, affordability, and orthodontic relapse. ClearCorrect aligners are more affordable than leading competing brands, allowing doctors to pass greater savings to their patients. Doctors can easily submit digital intraoral scans and manage their cases on the user- friendly website while also working with a designated customer service specialist. ClearCorrect is suitable for most treatment goals from minor cases to more advanced crowding and spacing complaints. Dr Mark J. Bentele successfully treated a patient’s chief complaint of ado- lescent orthodontic relapse with ClearCorrect. The patient had a Class I right, Class I left molar relationship, with a Class I right, end-on Class II left canine relationship. Dr Bentele submitted the case to ClearCorrect and requested an improved upper and lower midline, and also requested an idealized overjet, improved overbite, and improvement of the constricted arch forms while maintaining molar relationship (Figs. 1–3). Proclination of the mandibular incisors was requested and #11 be distained into a proper Class I relationship, and all spaces were to be closed. TheClearCorrecttreatmentplanestimated24setsofaligners.Thepatient was compliant wearing each set of aligners for three weeks (at least 22 hours a day). At the start of treatment, facial translation of premolars and canines occurred, and then engagers were placed on teeth Nos. 7, 10, 22 and 27 and 0.3 mm IPR was performed on the mesial/distal #27. After the engager placement, the patient received the fifth set of aligners and was also given his sixth set to take home. Next to complete the patient’s total treatment, a contact check on tooth #27 was performed to ensure patient compliance, and teeth Nos. 22 and 23 were correctly aligned. The patient progressed more quickly than originally planned, and only needed 16 sets of aligners as opposed to 24 sets. At the end of the Clear- Correct treatment, all objectives were accomplished and the patient was instructed to wear retainers at night time indefinitely (Figs. 4–6). Upon treatment completion, Dr Bentele’s patient was very happy with the re- sults and the effectiveness of ClearCorrect clear aligner therapy. Founded in 2006 by dentists, ClearCorrect understands the needs of both doctors and patients, and has been proven effective for more than 20,000 doctors worldwide.
