How Do I Increase Clear Aligners Acceptance?

When you first introduce clear aligners to your patients, they may be skeptical about their effectiveness. As a clinician, you play a big role in the patient’s clear aligners acceptance. If you yourself are convinced of the magnificent potential of clear aligners to transform smiles, you will be able to convince your patients easily. Listed below are a few strategies that can be used to increase clear aligners acceptance:

• 3D scanning- By introducing 3D scanners to patients, it becomes easier to explain various dental conditions. You can show the patient the actual position and appearance of his/her teeth and the corrections that need to be brought about. Instead of leaving everything to their imagination, digital simulations help the patients understand how the position of their teeth can be changed and how that may bring about a positive change in their smile and overall appearance. 
• Flexible payment options- Even if your patients are aware of their dental condition, they may not be willing to take the plunge, primarily, because of the payment plan. Presenting a budget-friendly payment plan is another smart strategy to increase clear aligners profitability. Splitting the fee into convenient monthly installments can be a good alternative to one-time payments, or encouraging the patient to go for EMI options depending on their requirements.
• Patient Education-
