The clarity of content really comes from the student side of things, not the teacher. When my students have obviously failed to grasp the idea, I try to break it down in smaller steps- there are always assumptions on what the other person understands- and I try to discover what assumption the student didn't understand. Still- it's up to them- keep the pressure on them to decipher you.

I ask the students open ended questions so they have to apply their knowledge to the material learned. Also, when I give an assignment in class or for homework it is never simply remembering facts but applied exercises where they have to use all the pervious material together to find the solutions. This way I know if they really understand what has been taught not only on one day but on the previous days as well.

One way that I have found useful is to ask a few of the students to tell me what they understand by the explanation. I will encourage feedback from the class and then reiterate using their language. 360 degree feedback. Hopefully this helps/

Let the students apply the concept in a very practical way or a very common situation...

by asking students to clarify what they have just been taught, ask them to explain or describe the content, have them complete some comprehension questions, and ask them if thet have any questions or need some points clarified

I believe the only way is to give class plenty of chance to ask questions!! Otherwise it is their tough luck!!!
