First, submit your aligner case to preferred lab as you normally would with all the required records.
Required records include impressions (traditional or digital), photos and completed online Rx form. Optional records include x-rays.
Second, once your ClinCheck® treatment plan has posted on your Invisalign Doctor Site (IDS) submit your case to Clear TPS at www.cleartps.com your case will be assigned to a Clear Clinical Expert.
You will receive email confirmation of your case submission and your case will be assigned to a Clear Clinical Expert.
Most case evaluation inquiries and treatment planning requests are initiated within 48 hours of receiving your order. The service level agreement is 72 hours. The average number of modifications is 3 to 4. Each modification requires approximately 48 hour turnaround time allowing for Align technicians in Costa Rica to assign each modification requested on your behalf to your ClinCheck® treatment plan.
Because of the clinical and technical complexities, Clear TPS provides unlimited modifications to your ClinCheck® treatment plan. Your Clear TPS clinical expert will modify your case as many times as required for the most ideal set up and possible outcome.
Once Clear TPS has initiated modifications Clear TPS strongly discourages you from making modifications to your ClinCheck® treatment plan. Conflicting modifications may confuse the Align Technology technician.
Clear TPS will communicate with you during the course of modification process. You will receive a final email communication once your ClinCheck® treatment plan modifications have been completed.
You will. You are the treating doctor and in control of approving your ClinCheck® treatment plan. Should you have any questions about your ClinCheck® treatment plan or want any further modifications to your ClinCheck® treatment plan you can communicate with your Clear TPS Clinical Expert.
Your case will be assigned based on the availability of the Clear TPS Clinical Expert.
