TREATMENT PLANNING
Expert Clear Aligner Treatment Planning
With Full Treatment Support
Realistic, safe and predictable outcomes.
With ongoing clinical guidance from start to finish.
This service is part of the AlignerService Risk Management System™ – designed to reduce clinical, biomechanical and operational risk throughout the entire aligner treatment process.
Every case starts with a clinical risk assessment - before planning begins.
This is the first step of the AlignerService Risk Management System™

You remain the clinician.
We support you with the orthodontic expertise behind the scenes.
From the first aligner to the last - not just through the initial plan.
CO-CREATION OF YOUR TREATMENT PLAN
Every dentist has their own philosophy, preferences and patient realities.
That’s why we design plans together with you.
-
We listen to your preferences
-
We adapt the treatment to your clinical style
-
We respect your experience with the patient
-
We refine the plan with your feedback
-
We adjust the strategy if your patient’s priorities change
This is not “outsourced planning”.
It is a collaborative clinical partnership.
WHY IT MATTERS
Almost no problems are caused by the treatment itself - but by starting the wrong case in the wrong way.
Most aligner plans are produced by technicians with minimal orthodontic training.
You receive a plan - and then you’re on your own.
With AlignerService:
-
Your plan is created by dentists and orthodontists
-
You have a clinical specialist following your case until completion
-
You get support for every refinement and unexpected challenge
-
You avoid unnecessary revisions, rescans and patient frustration
Predictable outcomes are not created by a single plan.
They come from ongoing guidance - and that’s exactly what we provide.
This is why treatment planning alone is not enough.
Predictable outcomes require structured risk management before, during and after planning – not technician-based production and handover.
That is the role of treatment support within the AlignerService Risk Management System™.

Frequently asked questions
Will the end result still match what my patient already approved?
Yes, where it is biologically safe. Your patient's accepted outcome is the brief. If a planned movement carries clinical risk - for example a buccal root translation that could cause recession, or a retraction that compromises soft tissue - we explain why and propose a safer route. Nothing changes without your approval.
How does the ongoing clinical support work?
Do I send photos or scans at fixed intervals? Only when you need us. There are no scheduled check-ins. You email us whenever a clinical question comes up during treatment, and we reply in writing within 24 hours (Mon-Fri). Photos are usually enough. Scans are rarely needed. The model is on-demand, not subscription-style monitoring.
What if I disagree with parts of the proposed plan?
The plan is co-created. You tell us what you want adjusted, and we revise. Where a request would compromise biological safety, we say so directly and propose alternatives - but the decision to proceed remains yours.
Who carries clinical responsibility for the patient?
You do. AlignerService supports you with treatment planning and clinical guidance. The treating dentist remains the clinician of record. We never have physical contact with patients.
How many refinements are included?
One revision in moderate-simple cases.
Unlimited in moderate-complex cases. We stay with the case until it is finished.
