Orthodontic treatment success depends on more than just delivering aligners. Clinical compliance—placing attachments, performing IPR, monitoring remotely, and reinforcing home care—is essential for predictable, efficient outcomes.
🩺 What Is Clinical Noncompliance?
Noncompliance occurs when key clinical steps are skipped or not properly implemented, including:
Not placing prescribed attachments
Missing or incomplete IPR
Failing to use remote monitoring tools
Not reinforcing home care instructions with patients
Some doctors are not even aware of this issue until remote scans are reviewed or treatment failures arise.
⚕️ Why Does It Matter?
When clinical protocols aren't followed, it leads to:
Incomplete or failed tooth movements
Delayed treatment progress
Inefficient use of chair time
Need for refinements or extra aligners
Inability to finish the case
Increased overall costs
🥼 What Are The Best Options?
If, for some reason, you are not able to perform the clinical procedures as indicated, we can help:
Schedule a Clinical Consult: Get expert guidance on how to proceed
Modify the Treatment Plan: Adapt the case based on new information
If clinical instructions are repeatedly ignored, your case pricing may be changed to Per-Aligner Pricing. This pricing model offers more flexibility to the doctor but means there is no guaranteed cost or timeframe to completion.
👩⚕️ What's our Shared Goal?
We ask that doctors clearly communicate any treatment limitations before starting a case. However, we understand that situations change. Our goal is to help you manage cases effectively—for better outcomes, fewer delays, and more profitable treatment.
