Today, orthodontic industry experts announced the opening of Clear Blue Smiles, a new company specializing in servicing orthodontists offering clear aligner treatment to their patients. The company is unique in that they promise to deliver expert orthodontic care while committing to positively impacting the environment.
Clear Blue Smiles, which has offices in both St. Louis, MO and Northeastern Virginia, was founded by Kevin Dillard, former general counsel of the American Association of Orthodontists, and Dr. William Crutchfield, II, DDS, one of the nation’s leading orthodontists.
The company will offer services nationwide through the use of remote treatment performed after having received complete diagnostics on each patient. “Technology has advanced to the point where, with the proper diagnostics, we can provide excellent treatment to patients remotely—giving them the best smile at an affordable price,” said Dr. Crutchfield. “With the Clear Blue Smiles model, parents don’t need to take time off work or take their kids out of school. They don’t have to rearrange their schedules or alter their lifestyle to receive quality orthodontic care.”
The company estimates that their patients, comprised of both teenagers and adults, will save over 25 hours and an average of $2,000 on the treatment—all while having the comfort of knowing that the pre-treatment diagnostics are done by experts.
