What can Clear Aligners do for your practice?

What are Clear Aligners?

Clear Aligners have been developed to specifically align teeth in a predictable, smooth, clear and comfortable manner. Instead of metal brackets, wires or screws, patients wear a thermoplastic material to achieve desired results - while going unnoticed by the people around them. 

During treatment, the patient wears a series of aligners, each for 22 hours a day, 1 to 2 weeks at a time (one stage), in order to move their teeth 0.25mm to 0.3mm per stage until their optimal teeth alignment has been reached. 

Often Clear Aligners are referred to as Transparent Braces, or Clear Braces, as they are made from a transparent material.

What are the benefits of Clear Aligners?

Apart from treating various forms of malocclusion, Clear Aligners offer patients the following benefits:

·       Clear and virtually invisible,

·       Entirely removable,

·       Comfortable to wear,

·       Predictable and effective outcomes,

·       Affordable alternative to traditional braces and,

·       Relatively fast treatment times (6-8 month average treatment length).

How do I integrate Clear Aligners in my practice?

Clear Aligners offer an amazing opportunity to build your practice and help your patients in ways that were previously inaccessible. Once you are confident in treating patients with Clear Aligners, and have signed up with a leading Clear Aligner brand (we quite like Active Aligners), the best way to inform your patients about Clear Aligners is to make use of the following marketing materials available to you: 

·       Pull-up banners,

·       Informational pamphlets,

·       Videos on practice screens. 

Once you have mastered the above, you can now elevate your practice using Clear Aligners by: 

·       Talking to your patients about Clear Aligners and presenting them as a viable option for treating their smile.

·       Elaborating on the benefits of correcting malocclusions.

·       Displaying patient results and testimonials in your practice and on social media.

·       Updating your website to show current/potential patients that you are a Clear Aligner provider, while clearly explaining what Clear Aligners can do for them.

·       Running promotions and giveaways on Clear Aligner treatments.

·       Sending monthly newsletters that mention some of the cases you have successfully treated with Clear Aligners.

Please remember that you do not have to treat every case that walks in through your door. Select easy cases to start with to give your patients the gift of your future smiles in a safe and predictable manner.
