Half a Million Smiles Planned: ClearForward Surpasses 500,000 Clear Aligner Treatment Plans Worldwide

In a milestone that reflects years of collaboration, trust, and dedication to clinical excellence, ClearForward has officially surpassed 500,000 clear aligner treatment plans, diagnosed and optimized worldwide. But for the team behind this achievement, the number itself is only part of the story, what truly matters are the people it represents: orthodontists, dentists, labs, and patients whose lives have been improved through better diagnosis and more stable and predictable outcomes.

From its beginnings, ClearForward has stood for a simple yet powerful belief: there's a patient behind every treatment plan. This perspective has shaped how the company partners with many of the most well-known aligner brands and clinicians across the globe, helping them transform virtual setups into real, confident smiles.



A Milestone Built on Collaboration and Clinical Integrity

While many in the industry focus on scaling faster or automating more, ClearForward has focused on growing responsibly. The company's foundation lies in Treatment Plan OptimizationTM (TPO), a process that ensures every clear aligner case begins with a proper diagnosis and ends with a treatment plan that makes clinical sense.

Rather than treating digital setups as a one-size-fits-all product, ClearForward's orthodontists, dentists and technicians evaluate each case carefully, taking into account dental anatomy, facial profile, and patient goals. This deliberate approach has helped reduce refinements and improve clinical predictability; key reasons why more dental professionals continue to trust ClearForward as their treatment planning partner.

"Our goal has always been to make digital orthodontics better, not just faster," says Sheldon Krancher, CEO of ClearForward. "When we talk about 500,000 smiles, we're talking about 500,000 instances where a patient's confidence, comfort, and care were directly influenced by thoughtful diagnosis and collaboration between clinicians and our team. What's more, we have bridge the diagnosis gap between thousands of aligner providers globally and the aligner systems they are using."



The Human Impact Behind the Numbers

Each of those 500,000 cases tells a story. A clinic improving workflow efficiency, a dentist gaining confidence in complex cases, or a patient finally smiling freely after years of discomfort.

For clinics, reaching this milestone represents a shift toward greater predictability and time savings. By providing treatment plans that are clinically feasible from the start, ClearForward reduces costly mid-course corrections and refinements, a major source of frustration for doctors and patients alike.

For labs and DSOs, it means consistent results at scale. With nearly two decades of experience and deep integration across major orthodontic software platforms, ClearForward has helped organizations streamline their digital workflows without compromising diagnostic accuracy.

And for patients, the impact is the most tangible: healthier, more confident smiles that reflect the precision and care of the professionals treating them. Every aligner plan is the result of expert evaluation and a shared goal, improving not only the alignment of teeth but the quality of life that comes with it.



Beyond Milestones: A Commitment to Responsible Growth

ClearForward's growth to over half a million cases isn't just a success metric - it's a reminder of the responsibility that comes with influence.

"As we grow, so does our responsibility," says Sheldon. "Each treatment plan is more than a digital file. It's a person trusting their doctor, and a doctor trusting us. That's a commitment we take seriously. Scale means nothing without integrity and consistent clinical results."

That sense of responsibility extends to how ClearForward supports its partners. The company continues to invest in education, workflow optimization, and seamless collaboration with practices of all sizes. Its platform enables clinicians to work with their preferred software systems while maintaining full visibility and control over each case.

This harmony between flexibility and clinical oversight has become a defining trait of ClearForward's service, one that appeals equally to solo practitioners, DSOs, and emerging dental labs seeking predictable and scalable clear aligner outcomes.



Looking Ahead: 500,000 and Beyond

Reaching 500,000 treatment plans is both a celebration and a checkpoint. An opportunity to reflect on the trust built with thousands of clinicians and to reaffirm a commitment to continuous improvement.

As ClearForward looks to the future, its mission remains unchanged: to support doctors in delivering the most consistent, esthetic, and stable outcomes possible through diagnostic-based planning, collaboration, and education.

The next half a million smiles won't just happen by chance. They'll be the result of thousands of daily decisions made with care, precision, and integrity.

Because for ClearForward, success has never been measured by numbers alone, but by the smiles and the trust earned along the way.
