Clear aligner therapy is a modern orthodontic treatment using a series of custom-made, removable plastic aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Each aligner applies gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth slightly, and you progress through new aligners every 1-2 weeks until you reach your ideal smile. It's the clear, convenient alternative to traditional metal braces.
Step 1 – Consultation: We evaluate your teeth and discuss your smile goals. We take impressions, digital photos, and X-rays that ClearCorrect uses to create your custom treatment plan.
Step 2 – 3D Treatment Plan: ClearCorrect creates a digital 3D model showing exactly how your teeth will move throughout treatment. You’ll see your results before you start!
Step 3 – Custom Aligners: Your set of aligners is manufactured and shipped to our office. You’ll receive them in batches and wear each aligner for 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next one.
Step 4 – Wear & Progress: Wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day (removing only for eating, drinking, and cleaning). Regular check-ups ensure you’re on track.
Most patients see straightening results in 6-18 months, depending on case complexity and compliance. Simple spacing or crowding cases may take 6-9 months, while more complex bite corrections can take longer. We’ll give you a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite—ClearCorrect can address all of these. Straighter teeth don't just look better; they function better too, reducing wear on your bite and making cleaning easier.
Most treatment plans range from 6-18 months depending on the complexity of your case. Simple cases may be done in 6-9 months, while more complex corrections may take longer. We'll provide a specific timeline during your consultation.
Do I have to wear the aligners all day?Yes, for best results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day. You only remove them for eating, drinking (except water), and cleaning your teeth. The more consistently you wear them, the faster you'll see results.
Can I eat and drink with aligners in?You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything except water. Food and beverages can stain or damage the aligners, and eating with them in can cause them to break. Always brush and floss before putting them back in.
How is ClearCorrect different from braces?ClearCorrect aligners are removable, invisible, and more comfortable than metal braces. There are no wires or brackets to tighten, and you can eat normally. However, they require more discipline to wear consistently, as the results depend on your compliance.
