foreign hey it's Dr Amanda with straight smile Solutions straight smilesolutions.com
and we're here to talk about clear correct and we're going to talk about their new pricing
super excited to tell you about it I know I've been really delayed I had a couple of you ask
me to make this video and to be honest it wasn't easy to make because they don't post their pricing
I even have a clear correct account I'm always in and out of people's clear correct accounts
all the time and it's not obvious like it is for Invisalign it's quite easy when you're on
your own Invisalign account you actually have to submit a case and get to the point where
you're picking the pricing in order to see the pricing which I don't do the submission process so
um I don't have an active case right now but anyways so these are their options Flex one
two three and unlimited before they had one two and three they had flex and unlimited
um which I'm pretty familiar with and I've made quite a few videos about those
um the one two and three are new so I'm going to go over what these include which ones I recommend
I mean to be super super honest if you are in the US if you are not in the US disregard this
because this might be your best option if you are in the US and if you do not have an itero
and if you have a hard case that needs an unlimited option like a major crowding case
you know like six millimeters plus a major spacing case a case that needs sequential distalization
you can do this I mean in our offices we are using Invisalign primarily and then we're also using
Global white label if you want an introduction to them you can contact me it's my referral
um I'm glad to tell you about it the price in the U.S is 99 sorry 90 setup and twenty dollars per
aligner for flx which is the exact same product as clear correct exact same material as their new
material except they're trim global Global stream is way better than clear corrects clear cracks is
just a straight trim it's so uncomfortable it looks so bad in my opinion at least the global
one is a nice little kind of semi scallop trim so it's somewhere in between invisaligns and
clear corrects I think it's perfect but anyways half the price exact same product and they have
way better bite ramps way way way better right bite ramps clear Crocs bite ramps are terrible
they are the worst they're like almost borderline non-functional so that's why I'm still not a huge
clear correct fan but you know if they work on that great obviously they can't do ma they can
do sequential distillation and they're decent at that they can move crooked teeth that's not a
problem they're decent at that I don't love their tram um their elastics are terrible because their
trim is terrible and it's not meant for elastics it just looks terrible feels terrible it's sharp
I just I mean it's nice that they have it but they need to change their trim if they want to
have more functional um elastics but that's if you want to go slot if you want to go button fine fine
and that's what I recommend anyways is the button to button so that's really a kind of a non-issue
as long as you're cool putting on buttons so we're good with sequential digitalization just
to recap we're good with crowding and spacing cases we're fine if you're going to do button to
button elastics their bite ramps are terrible if they fix the bite Ram issue and actually made like
decent bite ramps that weren't just like paladel engagers which are way too small like invisaligns
and globals bite ramps are adjustable like they make them the right size for the right case and
they they make sure they actually fit the patient they're they're contoured to the patient these are
just like random but anyways okay so I'm just kind of telling you what we do but anyways if you are
from the US and if you have a trios or I met it and you want to try Global white label give me a
holler I'll be glad to introduce you you can email me at info straightsmilesolutions.com or contact
me on my website straightsmilesolutions.com okay anyways let's go back to the whole clear correct
thing that was just a disclaimer um but yeah I mean if you have a trios or a meta you have a
very difficult case where you know you're going to have more than 30 40 50 aligners
um bare minimum you know of course remember with clearcorrect I always say you what do you do 2.5
to 3 you optimize the treatment plan then you multiply it by 2.5 to 3 to make it predictable
that is that is the key to having good outcomes with clearcorrect I mean and obviously you got
to use their tooth movement table which is also new that's good they have it and double check
anything with extrusions it's a little better with clear correct than is with Invisalign so
don't get me wrong because their material is a little more stiff and the trim Line's a little
higher it can grab some intrusion extrusions better than Invisalign so that is a benefit okay
um Flex I mean I see Zero Point to doing Flex like zero point given you can get half the price for
the exact same thing actually a slightly better product um if you're gonna do Flex you might just
do the global so that's out but I mean if you are in another country where they you don't have
access to what I recommend in the US if you're in Canada or um uh Australia have a lot of doctors
to talk to me from Australia and New Zealand fine you can do Flex it's okay um and I know that clear
correct is a lot lot cheaper than Invisalign there so that's fine um remember Flex You're Gonna Pay
Per you're going to pay 110 for the treatment setup I not sure I know with global white label
um the treatment setups are Unlimited in that they quote unquote clean check if you need a revision
or refinement that's you don't pay again for that you just pay for the aligners or retainers so my
Global white label is twenty dollars this is 45 if that's more than double wow and the treatment set
up for Global white label is 90 this is 110 and there's no additional additional fees for Global
white label I'm not I'm not sure about this one so um you'll have to ask if there's an additional fee
but I mean to be really really really honest if you're using the flex option you better be using
dental monitoring or in hand Dental because or have some type of system the typical compliant
remember it has to be HIPAA compliant you do not want to get sued hooked up so that you can
um keep a major accountability loop on those cases because there's just makes zero sense
to be doing a flex case or be doing a case where you're paying par if you do not have
the accountability compliance Loop built in okay nothing's free nothing's included
um no expiration date nothing's included um okay so just realized there is yeah it
does include replacement aligners but you gotta pay for them so okay
um the one I don't see a point to this it's 24 sets 24 uppers and lowers so it's pretty
much comparable a little bit more to Invisalign moderate labion design moderate as what 1700 ish
16.99 1720 something like that so it is 500 less and it does come with a set of retainers okay
um and it comes with one revision but they only give you 12 months to finish for 24 sets which
is a little borderline for me at least I think um Invisalign moderate gives you 24 months I
don't love this 12 month thing especially with clearcorrect but anyways no no replacement
okay two is 150 more than one comes with double but again we got the problem what is the problem
the problem is 24 months it's a little tight for 48. and by the way I never got the full answer
on this when I tried contact and clear correct so let me clarify something when they say 24
sets I kept asking them okay if it's 24 cents does that mean I have 12 months to use up all
24 sets and any the one revision includes the 24 sets or does that mean if I do a revision I get
another 24 cents EG 48 uppers 48 lowers that's a whole different gameplay and nowhere does it
explain that so if you guys know the answer that please leave this in the comments in terms of how
that works because I'm not really sure but nice that it comes with one set of retainers there is
a value to that you know it's about a hundred dollars right there so we'll give them that I
just think the expiration date is a little tight um the 48 same thing expiration date a little
tight I would probably never use these um the three 72 sets it's only a hundred dollars less
than the unlimited I just don't see the the point it does come with three sets of retainers that's
nice three revisions three or five minutes three years okay I mean but granted a hundred dollars
more you get five years what I know you guys are thinking well it does take five years to finish
a case well you guys are forgetting patience you might finish the case in a year year and a half
three years later we're at four and a half years patient might walk back in oh doctor
um I lost my retainer and I had some relapse can I can I get retreated well if you did The
Five-Year Plan then now you can Retreat for free no you do not have to charge the patient free you
can totally charge the patient a very nominal and fair cost which would be for your time not
the lab fee obviously you're taking new records you're taking a new scan you're working up a new
treatment plan you're bonding attachments your deboning you're doing the treatment during the
time your deboning attachments you're taking final records you're making new retainers right so but
you get replacement retainers every six months upon requests for five years after the start of
treatment so if you finish that case in two years you got three years left every six months you get
another set of replacement retainers that's pretty huge like I'll give you that you know within that
five year window now if it takes you five years to finish you don't get replacement retainers
after that so that that is pretty huge and I mean this whole like little bitty minor relapse thing
that is big big and it's actually kind of selling point I mean if you can't you can
actually bake that into your contract you know once you finish the active treatment
you get one set of retainers if you decide you want some re-treatment our fee is going to be
ten dollars per line or something crazy nominal you know something really really minor so they're
only paying two or three hundred dollars maybe five hundred dollars instead of three thousand
dollars but there's a lot of people who will if you bake that into the contract um will
definitely you know be interested in that so it's just something it's just a selling point you know
it really helps increase the value and the whole replacement retainers up to a certain date every
six months especially the cool thing about that is you can say hey every time you come in for let's
say you finish in a year and a half every time you come in for your recall visit I'm going to give
you another set of fresh retainers up until you know what's today today is November 2nd 2022 so
you can say up until you know November 2nd 2027 as long as you're coming in for your recall visit we
will give you a free set of retainers every time you come into your visit I mean boom people are
gonna be like I'm coming into my visit for sure you know to get my teeth cleaned so I got a fresh
set of retainers every time I come in until 2027 definitely coming in so I mean there's a major
selling point to that so I get that all right so that's pretty much it those are the options
with clearcorrect like I said I'm kind of half bullish half bearish on it if they fix the bite
turbos I would be more excited if they kind of fix their trim line I would be even more excited
um if they extended these expiration dates a little bit more I'd be a little more excited
um but I mean otherwise it's a decent product and it's I mean their dashboard is a bazillion
zillion times better than it used to be like you know and their turnaround time is still a little
slower than I like but I mean it's decent all right hopefully that was helpful thank
