Clarity Portal
Solventum describes this as its cloud-based treatment-design platform. Ask to see the clinician-approved proposal, not only a demonstration of the software.
Brand guide
Clarity Aligners
Understand the Clarity terminology, the proposed treatment and the questions that belong in a neutral product comparison.
Clarity is a distinct aligner system.
Clarity Aligners are presented on Solventum’s Canadian orthodontic website. The supplied product photograph carries 3M Clarity branding; packaging in an image may not match current packaging or the exact option discussed at a consultation. [1]
This page identifies the system for comparison. It does not confirm that myORTHODONTIST Maple Ridge offers Clarity or recommend it over Invisalign or another brand.
The names to recognise
Flex and Force
The Canadian materials describe these aligner options. Ask which is proposed and why rather than interpreting a product name as a measure of treatment quality.
Precision Grip Attachments
The Canadian site describes a customised attachment system for Clarity. Confirm the features available for your market and case with the treating office.
These are manufacturer descriptions, not independent evidence of superiority. [1]
Translate product names into a treatment discussion.
You need to understand what changes are planned, which features will be on the teeth, how progress is checked and what further treatment would involve. Ask which tasks happen in the office and which require additional fabrication.
If the proposal includes both fixed appliances and aligners, ask which stage is responsible for which movement. “Hybrid” describes a treatment approach, not a claim that one aligner brand is better.
What belongs in the written agreement?
- The clinical goals and limits of the proposed treatment.
- Who approves the plan and reviews progress.
- Additional-aligner provisions and what happens when the plan changes.
- The full fee and any separate charges.
- Retainers and follow-up after active treatment.
Questions families ask
Is Clarity another name for ClearCorrect?
No. They are separate systems with different manufacturer documentation. The Clarity references here point to Solventum, not Straumann’s ClearCorrect pages.
Does 3M branding make the supplied photo invalid?
The photograph is useful for identifying the product shown, but it should not be read as a promise of current packaging or a particular present-day treatment option.
Can I request Clarity locally?
Ask the treating office about current availability before choosing a product-specific appointment. A listing in this guide is not a service-availability statement.
