What are ClearCorrect invisible aligners?

ClearCorrect invisible aligners are a seamless, virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. Instead of having a mouthful of metal wires and brackets, patients who use ClearCorrect use a series of discreet trays to shift their teeth over time. These aligners are made of clear plastic and snap over the top and bottom teeth. Patients generally wear them up to 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush and floss.

How do they work?

ClearCorrect invisible aligners work much the same way braces do; the only difference is that ClearCorrect uses clear aligners to shift the teeth instead of wires and metal. Patients who opt for braces usually visit their provider every few weeks to have their braces readjusted; patients who use ClearCorrect simply switch to a new set of trays at predetermined intervals. At the end of the treatment, ClearCorrect patients enjoy a straight, healthy smile!

What are the benefits of using ClearCorrect?

No matter what method you use to straighten your teeth, you’ll see the benefits of a more even smile, corrections to your bite, and even improved oral health. But if you choose ClearCorrect invisible aligners, you’ll get extra benefits. First, the trays are removed when you eat and drink, so you can continue to enjoy all of your favorite foods – no need to give up your occasional stick of sugar-free gum or treats like popcorn! Next, you take out the trays when you brush and floss, so keeping your teeth clean is much easier. Finally, the aligners are practically invisible. Most people won’t even know you’re wearing them!

What’s the difference between ClearCorrect and Invisalign?

ClearCorrect and Invisalign are two different companies doing the same thing: improving patients’ smiles using invisible teeth aligners rather than braces. Costs between the two companies are comparable, and they can correct a similar range of issues. The main difference is that ClearCorrect is a newer company that uses a thinner material for their clear aligners.

Are ClearCorrect invisible aligners right for me?

If you’re a candidate for braces, then yes, ClearCorrect invisible aligners may very well be right for you! However, only a dental health care provider can let you know for sure.
