Solventum’s all-digital Clarity Retainers streamline post-treatment workflows via digital appliance removal and simplified ordering.

Product Overview 

Clarity Retainers from Solventum are a post-treatment retention solution designed to maintain orthodontic results with an all-digital approach. Fabricated from a proprietary, multi-layer film, the retainers are highly durable, stain-resistant, and nearly invisible. They offer a removable option for patients following treatment with Clarity Aligners, Clarity Digital Bonding, or Filtek Matrix cases.

The system emphasizes flexibility in the digital workflow; retainers can be ordered from a new intraoral scan or the final aligner stage. Additionally, the software allows for the digital removal of appliances, enabling practitioners to create retainers for fixed appliance and aligner cases without removing the brackets first.

Key Features

  • The system can digitally remove appliances from the scan, allowing retainers to be fabricated for fixed appliance and aligner cases before debonding.
  • Fabricated from a multi-layer film that is highly durable and stain-resistant.
  • Features a straight trimline that contributes to patient comfort and aesthetics.
  • Options available to ship directly to the patient for added convenience.
  • Ordering managed through the cloud-based Clarity Portal, with no doctor approval required for orders to accelerate processing.
  • A standard one-year warranty included with all orders.

Key Benefits

  • Material construction and straight trimline are intended for patient comfort
  • Provides an aesthetic and stain resistant option for patients
  • Accelerates the ordering and shipping process to improve practice efficiency
  • Reduces a clinical step for the team, saving valuable chair and doctor time

Practical Application in the Practice

Clarity Retainers are intended as the final step following treatment with Clarity Aligners, Clarity Digital Bonding, or Filtek Matrix cases. The workflow is managed through the Clarity Portal, giving practices a centralized digital approach that allows them to order based on the final aligner stage or a new scan. The ordering process is designed for efficiency; by not requiring a doctor’s final approval for each order, the clinical team can manage the workflow independently, accelerating the delivery of the final appliance to the patient.

Target User

The product is designed for orthodontists and clinical teams seeking an efficient, digitally integrated system for patient retention. It is suitable for practices that prioritize patient comfort and aesthetics in the final phase of treatment and want to streamline administrative tasks—such as shipping and approval protocols—for their staff.
