One integrated workflow - 3M Oral Care Portal

The 3M Oral Care portal allows clinicians to customise each patient’s treatment using Clarity Aligners Flex + Force in a single treatment design. Key to the user experience of advanced Tx Design is the ability to work seamlessly with multiple treatment modalities and combination treatments, for example using Clarity Aligners and 3M Digital Bonding Trays.

There’s no more jumping between multiple systems or brands—it’s an integrated experience that allows you to explore options and create the best plan regardless of the modality for truly customised treatment.

A new paradigm in aligner treatment

At its core, orthodontics is all about coaxing the body to remodel itself. Aligners are good at gently suggesting that to the body. But to achieve tooth movement, aligners also need to maintain force over the course of weeks. The material in Clarity Aligner Flex has excellent force persistence. In fact, Clarity Flex Aligners maintain a consistent force over two weeks, retaining 75% of its initial force*, toward a goal of prediction accuracy in treatment designs.

Clarity Aligners Flex can cover the gingival margin, giving orthodontists more choices for placement of attachments—which also engage well with the new material. The final result achieves our goals of advancing the materials science in aligner treatment. The new Flex material strikes the balance of the flexibility needed for easy insertion and removal with the rigidity needed for force persistence, durability, and stain resistance.

Accurately bond a full arch of brackets at once

The 3M™ Digital Bonding System allows you to design truly customised treatment plans that bring added efficiencies to your practice. You design the customised treatment plan in the 3M™ Oral Care Portal, and the customised appliance is manufactured by 3M and shipped to your office.

When paired with our proprietary 3M™ APC™ Flash-Free pre-coated brackets, the appliance delivers brackets to teeth — an entire arch at once — with precision and accuracy.
