About
ClearAligner.ai is a comprehensive digital orthodontics platform built to streamline and automate clear aligner treatment planning for dental professionals. At its core is AlignerBot, an AI-powered design engine that transforms a process traditionally requiring hours of expert work into one that can be completed in roughly 10 minutes — no deep orthodontic design experience required. This democratizes high-quality aligner treatment across dental practices of all sizes. The platform supports advanced case complexity, including hybrid treatments that combine clear aligners with brackets, and integrates multiple data sources such as CBCT scans, facial scans, intraoral scans, and smile design references into a single unified virtual treatment plan. For the most challenging cases, a Premium Design service connects clinicians with expert designers. ClearAligner.ai also offers gTok, a free secure communication and 3D collaboration tool built into the GuideMia desktop software. It allows orthodontists to share 3D models, designs, and updates with clients, service providers, and peers — eliminating the need for multiple cloud storage platforms. A community portal lets users share products, services, tips, and innovations. The platform targets orthodontists, dental clinicians, and digital dentistry professionals looking to improve treatment speed, accuracy, and workflow efficiency.
