The Treatment Setup
Every ClearCorrect case includes a treatment setup, a 3D representation of the patient’s teeth before, during, and after planned treatment. It includes every step, movement, and recommended procedure over the course of the case. Once you approve the setup, we will use the corresponding data to manufacture the aligners.
Reviewing and approving the treatment setup for your patient is one of the key aspects of treatment planning. This is where you get to map out the treatment goals you and your patient are aiming for.
To learn more about Treatment Setup please refer to the following article:
