Clear Blue Smiles, a St. Louis-based provider of clear aligner solutions for dental professionals, has announced that our services are now available to dentists nationwide. Following a successful regional launch, Blue Assist™—a unique program that combines top-tier aligners with expert orthodontic guidance—is now offered across the country. Additionally, our flagship product, Blue Complete, is now available nationwide, enabling dentists to expand their clear aligner programs without any upfront costs.
Blue Assist™ is priced at just $1,495, and aims to increase the volume of clear aligner treatments dentists can provide while boosting confidence in patient care. Dr. Brian Gaudreault, Chief Technology Officer, co-founder, and orthodontic expert for the company, says that dental offices can substantially increase their clear aligner volume with some expert guidance.
“We combine a great product and expert advice with a price that is often lower than some companies charge for just the aligners. The dentists we’ve worked with have been able to have more confidence treating patients”, he said.
For practices interested in launching a clear aligner program without upfront expenses or the typical challenges of starting a new initiative, the Blue Complete™ program is an excellent choice. This program not only saves doctors time and reduces hassle, but it also offers significant cost savings. The total patient cost for a clear aligner case will never exceed $4,880 – often thousands less than competitors charge. This provides dentists with an affordable way to expand clear aligner offerings without initial investment.
Kevin Dillard, CEO of Clear Blue Smiles, highlights the benefits of Blue Complete for both patients and dentists: “We offer dentists a full suite of solutions including patient acquisition, financing, aligners, insurance verification, remote monitoring tools, and all the necessary software to properly treat patients. Patients receive excellent doctor-driven care at an affordable and transparent price, with the conveniences that technology provides such as fewer office visits via remote monitoring and messaging tools.”
This innovative approach not only keeps patient expenses in check. It also aims to significantly increase a dental office’s monthly cash flow with bundled services. “Competition-driven innovation has led to more affordable and efficient doctor-driven care,” Dillard said.
Central to Clear Blue Smiles’ mission is ensuring every patient receives comprehensive diagnostic evaluations – x-rays, periodontal records, digital scans, and dental checks. This commitment to thorough care distinguishes Clear Blue Smiles from many practices that may overlook these crucial steps. Without these complete records, assessing the safety and advisability of tooth movement isn’t possible, even in patients with healthy teeth and gums.
“I co-founded this company because of its unwavering commitment to patient care and focus on the importance of complete diagnostics performed by professionals on each patient. We agree with the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association that, without these diagnostics, it is likely unethical, and simply inadvisable, to provide orthodontic care,” said Dr. William Crutchfield, Chief Clinical Officer and practicing orthodontic specialist in Virginia.
“We have always, and will always, advocate for the highest standard of clinical care. While some office appointments can be eliminated via remote monitoring, obtaining complete records and being diagnosed initially in-person by a dental professional is essential,” said Crutchfield.
Dillard underscored the stakes of the quality of treatment. “I trust our process and our doctors completely; my own children are using our product,” he said. “If you are a doctor or patient examining your choices in the marketplace, ask other companies’ employees, founders, and sales force if they could say the same thing,” he said.
