THE THREE KEY DIFFERENTIATORS:

-Clear, unbreakable, non-porous, material
-Less material & increased patient comfort
-The best device at the lowest price point

Chairtime is valuable and with
the ClearDream I don’t have to
block out extra time because
I know I won’t be grinding on
acrylic all afternoon. Now, if
only my crowns dropped in this
easily.
“i don’t have to block out extra
chair time because i know i won’t be
grinding on acrylic all afternoon.”

The second major difference
seems to be a key feature
of
ClearDream’s
design
philosophy; less material and
increased patient comfort.
Utilizing the Crystal Clear
material allows for a slimmer,
more streamlined, and more
comfortable device without
compromising durability. There
is significantly less acrylic in
the anterior than other dorsals
with no facial coverage on
the maxillary arch and only
slight incisal overlap on the
mandibular segment which
creates an anterior opening.
The opening also reduces bulk
which increases comfort and
may increase comfort and may
increase patient compliance. A
reduction in overall bulk isn’t
limited to the anterior either.
The lingual surfaces of the
ClearDream are contoured to

the teeth; a design feature that
maximizes tongue space.
The ClearDream allows for
5.5mm of advancement from the
initial position. Like with any
dorsal device, it’s imperative
you capture an accurate
George Guage bite. Along with
the bite, I send VPS impressions
but Keller can also make them
with models or digital scans
(something I find useful, since
I’m currently digitizing my
entire process). Occasionally,
I have notches added when I
need to use elastics.
“for a product to be worth using,

it has to be better, faster, cheaper,

and easier. the cleardream meets all
of these criteria..”

The last key differentiator
is the price. At only $299 for
the hard acrylic version and
$319 for the Thermofit-lined
ClearDream, you’re getting
the best dorsal device on the
market for the lowest price
point. To paraphrase Gordon
Christensen, for a product to be
worth using, it has to be better,
faster, cheaper, and easier. The
ClearDream meets all of these
criteria.
