What Is Treatment Plan Optimization™?
Treatment Plan Optimization™ is a comprehensive, full-service approach to clear aligner treatment planning. It goes beyond a simple virtual setup by incorporating clinical expertise, diagnostic accuracy, and outcome-driven adjustments to ensure the most efficient and predictable results.
Key Components of Treatment Plan Optimization™
1. Clinical Evaluation for Treatment Suitability
Not every case is ideal for clear aligner therapy. Treatment Plan Optimization™ begins with a thorough clinical assessment to determine whether a patient is a good candidate. This evaluation considers:
The complexity of the malocclusion
Tooth movement feasibility within clear aligner biomechanics
Any potential limitations that could affect predictability
This ensures that only cases that can be effectively treated with clear aligners move forward.
2. Diagnosis of Malocclusion and Treatment Planning
A strong foundation is critical for successful aligner therapy. Treatment Plan Optimization™ includes an in-depth diagnosis of the malocclusion to identify the best course of action. This process takes into account:
Facial and dental aesthetics
Occlusal function and long-term stability
The patient’s treatment goals
With this comprehensive diagnostic approach, the treatment plan is designed not just to align teeth but to enhance function and maintain long-term stability.
3. Virtual Setup Optimization
While many aligner providers offer a virtual setup, not all are designed with clinical predictability and efficiency in mind. Treatment Plan Optimization™ ensures that every setup is:
Biomechanically sound, with movements planned in a way that reduces unwanted side effects.
Optimized for efficiency, minimizing the number of aligners required while maintaining precision.
Aligned with treatment goals, whether the focus is on aesthetics, function, or both.
By refining the virtual setup through expert case evaluation, we help minimize mid-course corrections and refinements.
4. Free Case Refinement If Needed
Even with the best planning, some cases may require refinements. Our commitment to quality includes free case refinements if adjustments are necessary. This ensures that the final outcome meets both clinician and patient expectations.
5. Satisfaction Guarantee
We stand behind our Treatment Plan Optimization™ process with a satisfaction guarantee. Our goal is to provide treatment plans that are not only effective but also realistic and clinically feasible.
Why Treatment Plan Optimization™ Matters?
Unlike traditional virtual setups that focus primarily on tooth positioning, Treatment Plan Optimization™ emphasizes diagnosis, efficiency, and predictability. This approach benefits both clinicians and patients by:
✔ Reducing the need for refinements and mid-course corrections
✔ Ensuring more accurate and stable long-term results
✔ Saving time for both the doctor and the patient
✔ Providing clear expectations and a higher level of case control
By integrating clinical oversight, diagnostic precision, and biomechanically sound treatment planning, Treatment Plan Optimization™ delivers better results with greater confidence.
