The Orthoclear Ecosystem

Most clear aligner brands focus primarily on manufacturing the aligners themselves. The actual treatment is then carried out by dentists or orthodontists who purchase and use that brand’s aligners in their own practices.

There are also brands that operate entirely online, without any in-person dental check-ups. In these models, patients never see a dentist physically. This creates an important limitation: when there is insufficient space in the mouth — which is almost always the case — IPR (interproximal reduction) cannot be performed to create space.

Finally, some brands rely on externally contracted dentists, paying them a fee per case.

Orthoclear takes a different approach. We offer a fully integrated ecosystem in which we maintain control over the entire treatment journey — comparable to how Apple Stores operate within Apple’s ecosystem.

Compare Orthoclear & Invisalign

Invisalign trains dentists and orthodontists through a certification program. After completing this training, they can offer Invisalign treatments in their own practices.

Orthoclear works with a carefully selected group of dentists, ensuring that every treatment is delivered according to the same high standards.

With Invisalign, each dental practice sets its own price. As a result, treatment costs are often relatively high.

Orthoclear’s goal is to make invisible braces accessible to more people. That’s why our treatments are more affordable. An added benefit is that we treat more patients, which means more experience and consistent results.

Invisalign produces all aligners for the entire treatment at once.

Orthoclear checks progress regularly — approximately every 15 aligners. If needed, a new scan is made before the next set of aligners is produced, so the treatment can be adjusted for the best possible result.

Compare Orthoclear & Dr Smile

Dr Smile mainly operates with a standardized aligner system that is offered through partner dentists and clinics.

Orthoclear works with a carefully selected and fixed network of dentists, ensuring consistent quality and close coordination throughout the treatment.

Dr Smile treatments often follow a more standardized treatment protocol, with limited room for adjustments once the treatment has started.

Orthoclear continuously monitors progress. Approximately every 15 aligners, we evaluate whether everything is still moving as planned. If needed, a new scan is made so the treatment can be fine-tuned.

Dr Smile focuses on efficiency and scale, which can be appealing for straightforward cases.

Orthoclear focuses on personalized care, flexibility, and long-term results — especially in cases where extra attention or adjustments are needed.

With Orthoclear, patients benefit from clear expectations, in-person guidance, and ongoing professional oversight, rather than a largely fixed, one-size-fits-all approach.
