Clinical Precision Meets Scalable Manufacturing 

Two people in suits shaking hands.

We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between ClearForward, the leader in clear aligner treatment planning, supporting over 30,000 dentists and guiding more than half a million successful cases, and K Line, Europe’s largest OEM clear aligner manufacturer, with over 4.5 million aligners produced to date.

This partnership brings together two powerhouses, uniting ClearForward’s digital treatment planning expertise with K Line’s unmatched quality and production capacity to deliver a fully integrated, clinically sound, and operationally efficient clear aligner solution. 

Built for What the
Industry Demands 

This collaboration was born from a shared goal: to simplify and scale Clear Aligner workflows, while preserving the quality, precision, and clinical control that dental professionals expect at every stage of treatment.

  • Crafted with German precision, the aligners meet the highest ISO, FDA, and CE standards offering superior quality, comfort, and reliability at competitive costs.

  • Powered by ClearForward’s diagnostic-driven planning protocols.

  • No more managing in-house planning teams or navigating disconnected workflows.

  • A seamless pipeline from plan to product with less friction and fewer delays.

  • By aligning services and simplifying delivery, we’re helping providers cut costs, reduce workload, and grow without adding complexity

The Impact at a Glance

Setting the Industry Standard for Low Refinement Rates

With refinement rates consistently below 30%, ClearForward is proud to maintain one of the lowest refinement rates in the industry, a direct result of our clinically grounded planning protocols and expert oversight. By prioritizing accurate diagnoses, biomechanically sound staging, and realistic tooth movement goals from the start, we help doctors avoid unnecessary mid-course corrections and lengthy treatment extensions.

This not only improves patient satisfaction but also reduces chair time, costs, and operational burden, supporting more predictable, efficient outcomes with every case.

*The refinement rate also accounts for two-phase treatment plans.

Key Benefits

    • Improved Case Acceptance - 75% of proposed cases converted to treatment, significantly above the 66% average, thanks to clinically optimized, patient-specific planning. 

    • Faster Case Growth - Practices using TPO saw 30% YoY case growth 

    • Higher Per-Case Profit - By streamlining workflows and reducing complications, practices can increase their average net profit per clear aligner case. While a case typically nets $2,000-$4,000, our solution can boost this by 10-15%, adding $300-$500 or more per case. For a practice handling 50 cases annually, this means an extra $15,000+ in profit.

    • Treatment Planning Efficiency - With delegating planning and fewer revisions needed, practices saved 4–6 hours per case, equating to 400–600 hours annually for 100 cases.

    • Chair Time Reduction - Fewer mid-course corrections saved 15–30 minutes per visit, or 2–3 hours per case, freeing up 200–300 hours/year for 100 cases. 

    • Faster Production & Global Fulfillment

      With 10,000+ aligners produced daily, global hubs across key regions, and 7-day delivery, K-Line ensures fast, scalable, and reliable aligner fulfillment.

    • The Refinement Problem -Industry wide, 77% of cases require mid-course corrections or refinement, each costing around $1,500 (aligners, diagnostics, and chair time). That’s a massive, hidden cost drain. 

    • Our Outcome: With advanced planning and expert oversight, 75% of clear aligner cases are refinement free. 

    • Financial Impact - By reducing refinements by 52 per 100 cases, practices saved $78,000 annually, plus up to $10,000 more from minimized material waste.

  • Scalable Production Infrastructure
    K Line’s ability to produce over 10,000 aligners daily gives practices and DSOs the confidence to increase case volume without fear of production delays.

    Reliable 7-Day Delivery
    With aligners shipped within 7 days of approval, treatment begins faster, supporting streamlined workflows and increased patient satisfaction.

    Built for Multi-Site Expansion
    Global hubs across Europe, North America, Asia, and EMEA support growing brands with consistent, on-time delivery across regions.

  • Certified Quality
    Produced under ISO 13485, MDR, CE, and FDA 510(k) certifications, meeting the highest global standards. 

    German-Engineered Processes
    State-of-the-art manufacturing ensures precision, consistency, and reliability. 

    Advanced Multi-Layered Material
    Features a flexible core and rigid shells to maintain force for 7+ days, guiding teeth as planned. 

    40% Lower Insertion Force
    Reduces discomfort and enhances patient compliance without compromising results. 

Proven Results That Boost Your Bottom Line

More Profit, Less Effort
Clinically optimized, patient-specific planning led to a 75% case acceptance rate, well above the industry average. Practices using our TPO services saw 30% year-over-year case growth and gained $10K–$30K more in annual profit from improved margins.

Combined with savings from fewer refinements and increased efficiency, the total annual financial impact reaches $94,000 to $124,000 per 100 cases.

Time is Money—We Save You Both
Practices saved 400–600 hours a year on planning and revisions, plus 200–300 hours in chair time with fewer mid-course corrections.

Cut Hidden Costs
While 77% of cases industry-wide need refinements, 75% of ours don’t. That’s a savings of $78,000+ per 100 cases.

Built to Grow With Your Practice
With a daily output exceeding 10,000 aligners and a global distribution network, K Line ensures delivery within just 7 days of case approval. This gives you the speed, reliability, and scalability needed to grow confidently without production delays.

Certified Quality
All aligners are made under ISO, FDA, and CE certifications using precise German-engineered processes. The advanced multi-layered material maintains effective force for 7+ days with 40% less insertion force, reducing discomfort and improving patient compliance all at a competitive cost.
