What is TrioClear™ ?

TrioClear™ is a ground-breaking design of dental clear aligners with an aim to innovate and improve the process of orthodontic treatment. TrioClear™ aligners are nearly invisible and straighten teeth by using multiple removable clear aligners which are custom-made to gradually move teeth step-by-step to the ideal position. Our goal is to provide a predictable aligner solution to clinicians while keeping chair time to a minimum.

How does TrioClear™  work?

Your dentist will use 3D scanners or PVS materials to obtain the impressions of your teeth once you are confirmed a suitable candidate for TrioClear™ treatment. We will then digitise your results and create a proposal regarding your teeth movement. Your dentist will then review with you on the expected outcome. Once the proposal is settled, we will begin manufacturing your TrioClear™  kit and ship it directly to the clinic. Your dentist will then follow up on your treatment and our team will provide additional support as well. Please consult with your dentist or contact us if more information is needed.
