What your patients get when you refer to ClearCut.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners, Only. No Exceptions.

ClearCut does not offer traditional braces — not because we can’t, but because Dr. Skopek made a deliberate decision that exclusive focus on clear aligner treatment produces better outcomes than divided attention. Every case at ClearCut is an Invisalign® clear aligner case. That means every tool, every technique, and thirty years of clinical experience are applied to the same type of treatment. Your patient is being treated by an orthodontic specialist — one whose alignment work is designed to support and strengthen the restorative care you provide.

Top 1% Sapphire Invisalign® Provider | Dr. Robert Skopek.


Dr. Skopek holds the Sapphire Invisalign® Provider designation, placing him among the top 1% of providers in North America by case volume and clinical outcomes. One of the first orthodontists in the Midwest to offer Invisalign®, he now travels to teach other doctors clear aligner orthodontics. He treats adults, teens, and children — including complex cases that other practices refer out, as well as Phase I early treatment through Invisalign® First. When you refer a patient to ClearCut, their case is in the hands of one of the most experienced clear aligner specialists in the country.

The ROX® System | Consistent Outcomes, Every Time.


Every ClearCut patient is treated through the ROX® System — a trademarked, six-pillar patient experience framework built to ensure the same clinical standard, the same communication, and the same quality of care at every visit at both locations. You’ll always know what your patient received, because the standard never changes.

Communication You Can Count On.

After your patient’s first visit, you receive a consultation summary for their file that includes what was evaluated, what was recommended, and the proposed treatment plan. If anything significant changes during treatment, you will hear from us. You’re never left wondering what happened to a patient you referred.

    The orthodontic specialist to whom your patients will be referred.

    Dr. Robert Skopek has been practicing orthodontics for thirty years — and has been Invisalign® certified since 2000, the first year certification was available, making him one of the first orthodontists in the Midwest to offer clear aligner treatment. He founded ClearCut Orthodontics on the conviction that specialization produces better outcomes than generalization — a conviction validated by more than 20,000 orthodontic cases, including 5,000 with clear aligners.

    His Sapphire Invisalign® Provider designation places him among the top 1% of providers in North America — a credential earned through case volume, clinical complexity, and consistent outcomes. He now travels to teach other doctors clear aligner orthodontics. He treats adults, teens, and children, including Phase I early treatment through Invisalign® First and complex adult cases that other practices refer out.

    When you refer a patient to Dr. Skopek, they are seen by Dr. Skopek. Not a rotating associate. Not a supervised resident. The doctor whose name is on the door is at both locations.

    We’d love to come to your practice.

    Dr. Skopek and the ClearCut team regularly visit referring practices for lunch-and-learn sessions — a chance to meet your team, walk through the ClearCut approach to Invisalign® clear aligner treatment, answer clinical questions, and discuss how we can best support your patients together.

    It’s not a sales presentation. It’s a clinical conversation between colleagues — over lunch, at your office, on your schedule.

    If you’d like to schedule a visit, reach out directly. We’ll take care of everything else.

    Questions from referring dentists.

    Do you accept all orthodontic referrals, or only certain cases?


    We accept referrals for adults, teens, and children, including Phase I early treatment cases through Invisalign® First. If a referred patient presents with needs beyond our scope of care, we’ll let you know promptly and help direct them appropriately. We never leave a referred patient without a clear next step.

    How quickly will you contact my patient after I refer them?

    Within one business day. Every referral is treated as a priority — your patient will receive a call from our team by the next business day, and a complimentary consultation will be scheduled at their convenience. If we can’t reach them by phone, we’ll follow up by their preferred contact method.
    Will you send me a report after the consultation?

    Yes — every time, without being asked. After your patient’s first visit, you’ll receive a consultation summary for their file: what was evaluated, what was recommended, and the proposed treatment plan. This is standard practice at ClearCut, not something you need to request.
    What insurance do you accept?

    We review each patient’s coverage during the consultation and provide a clear breakdown of what their insurance covers and their out-of-pocket responsibility. To simplify the financial side, ClearCut partners with OrthoFi — a third-party platform whose insurance experts work to maximize every benefit your patient is entitled to and handle payments and HSA/FSA documentation.
    Will my patient continue their general dental care with me during and after treatment?

    Always. ClearCut is an orthodontic specialty practice — we do not provide general dental care. Your patients continue seeing you for cleanings, restorative work, and all their general dental needs throughout and after their orthodontic treatment. In fact, our work is often what makes yours more successful: proper alignment creates the foundation that restorative work — crowns, implants, bridgework — depends on to fit, function, and last. You are their dentist. We are their orthodontic specialist, working in support of the care you provide. That distinction is one we maintain carefully.
    Can I refer patients for a second opinion on previous orthodontic treatment?

    Yes. We welcome second-opinion consultations, including for patients who have experienced relapse after prior treatment or are dissatisfied with results elsewhere. Dr. Skopek will provide an honest clinical evaluation and a clear recommendation. If treatment at ClearCut isn’t the right answer for that patient, he’ll say so.
    How do I establish an ongoing referral relationship with ClearCut?


    Call either location and ask for a member of our team, or email info@clearcutorthodontics.com. We’d also welcome the opportunity to visit your practice for a lunch-and-learn, where Dr. Skopek can meet your team, walk through the ClearCut approach, and answer clinical questions in person. Most of our strongest referral relationships started with a single visit.
