Klaer Clear Aligners: How the System Works
Klaer is a UAE-manufactured, doctor-prescribed clear-aligner system that uses both intraoral scan (IOS) and CBCT data to plan true 3D tooth movement — including root position, not only crown inclination. Every treatment plan is AI-staged and then orthodontist-verified before a single aligner is cut, giving prescribing clinicians a level of biomechanical confidence that crown-only digital workflows cannot match.
What Makes Klaer Different from Conventional Aligner Workflows
Most clear-aligner systems stage tooth movement from surface-scan data alone. That means the software — and the clinician reviewing the plan — can only see crown positions. Root torque, root parallelism, and alveolar bone boundaries remain invisible until a problem surfaces clinically.
Klaer was designed by orthodontists specifically to close that gap. By requiring both an IOS and a CBCT at submission, the platform gives the AI staging engine a full volumetric picture of each tooth from apex to cusp tip. The result is a treatment plan that respects the biological envelope: roots are moved within bone, not assumed to be wherever the crown mathematics predict.
This is the core clinical proposition of Klaer, and it is why the brand positions proper alignment as fundamentally a root-movement problem, solved with 3D data from day one.
From IOS and CBCT Upload to AI-Staged Treatment Plan
The clinical workflow begins when the prescribing orthodontist or dentist uploads the patient's IOS file and CBCT data through the Klaer platform — part of the aiHealth Group / Kyour ecosystem, powered by kyour.ai.
Once both data sets are received, the AI engine co-registers the surface scan with the volumetric CBCT, constructing a composite model in which each tooth's full anatomy — crown, root, and surrounding bone — is accurately represented. Staging algorithms then calculate a movement sequence that respects:
- Root proximity to cortical plates at every stage
- Torque expression across the full treatment arc
- Interradicular space for safe bodily movement
The AI-generated plan is not released to the prescribing clinician as a finalised prescription. It is reviewed and verified by a qualified orthodontist within the Klaer clinical team before sign-off. That human checkpoint is deliberate: the clinician of record retains full clinical authority, and the orthodontist reviewer acts as a biomechanical quality layer between the algorithm and the patient's mouth.
Root-Level 3D Tooth Movement: Why It Matters Clinically
Consider a common scenario: a Class II Division 1 case with mild crowding. Crown-based staging might show a tidy digital setup — but without CBCT overlay, neither the software nor the reviewing clinician can confirm that the planned upper incisor retroclination keeps those roots inside labial bone throughout treatment. Fenestrations and dehiscences are not hypothetical complications; they are a recognised risk of aligner treatment when root position is not tracked.
Klaer's CBCT-integrated workflow allows the staging team to:
- Flag cases where the initial root position limits the achievable tooth movement before treatment starts — not after.
- Design each aligner stage so that the tooth's centre of resistance is accounted for, reducing unintended tipping.
- Provide the prescribing doctor with a plan they can review in three dimensions, including axial, coronal, and sagittal views of root position at any planned stage.
For orthodontists managing complex cases — significant overjet reduction, large expansion, or incisor torque correction — this visibility is not a luxury; it is a prerequisite for informed consent and responsible treatment planning.
Manufacturing, Delivery, and Remote Monitoring
Klaer aligners are manufactured in the UAE. Once the prescribing clinician approves the final treatment plan, fabrication begins domestically, and the completed aligner series is shipped directly to the clinic. UAE-based manufacturing means shorter supply chains, faster turnaround compared with overseas labs, and quality control that sits within the same regulatory environment as the clinicians using the product.
Between in-clinic appointments, patients use a dedicated phone-based imaging tool to capture weekly photos of their dentition at home. These images feed back to the monitoring platform, giving the prescribing clinician passive oversight of tracking without requiring the patient to attend the clinic solely for a progress check. If tracking discrepancy or a clinical concern is flagged, the clinician is alerted and can intervene — whether that means scheduling a chair visit, requesting an attachment adjustment, or revising the plan.
This remote monitoring capability is designed to support the clinician's workflow, not replace clinical judgment. The prescribing doctor remains in charge of every decision; the platform provides the data to make those decisions earlier and with better information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Klaer work for complex orthodontic cases, or only mild crowding? Klaer is designed for orthodontists and dentists managing a full range of cases. Because every plan is CBCT-based and orthodontist-verified, clinicians using Klaer have the 3D data needed to assess whether a given tooth movement is appropriate — which is especially relevant in moderate-to-complex presentations. The prescribing clinician makes the final case-selection decision.
Who verifies the AI-generated treatment plan? Every Klaer treatment plan is reviewed by a qualified orthodontist within the Klaer clinical team before it is presented to the prescribing doctor for approval. The AI stages the movement; the orthodontist verifies the biomechanics; the prescribing clinician approves and owns the final prescription.
Where are Klaer aligners made? Klaer aligners are manufactured in the UAE, within the aiHealth Group ecosystem. Domestic manufacturing supports faster clinic delivery and keeps production within the UAE regulatory framework.
What imaging does a clinician need to submit a Klaer case? Each case submission requires an intraoral scan (IOS) and a CBCT. Both datasets are necessary because the CBCT provides the root and bone anatomy that the surface scan alone cannot capture, enabling the full 3D staging workflow that defines the Klaer system.
