Clear Correct - Clear Braces

What is Clear Correct?

ClearCorrect is the clear and simple alternative to braces. No wires. No brackets. No reason not to smile. Just a series of clear, custom, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth as you wear them, each aligner moving your teeth just a little bit at a time.

How does ClearCorrect work?

The process starts with your dentist who takes your impressions, x-rays, and shots, and sends them in with a prescription form. ClearCorrect manufactures your aligners per the precise instructions provided and then sends them back to your dentist.

What are the primary benefits of Clear Correct?

• Clear Correct is clear. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.

• Clear Correct is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.

• Clear Correct is comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the doctor's chair getting adjustments.

• Clear Correct allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

What are aligners made of?

Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn.

What do aligners look like?

Aligners are clear and look similar to tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made for a better fit to move teeth. Some orthodontists and dentists have referred to them as "contact lenses for teeth."

Is this a new way to straighten teeth?

For years, orthodontists and dentists have used removable appliances for limited treatment. Today, with the application of computer technology and custom manufacturing, ClearCorrect treats a broader range of cases with greater precision.

How many patients are being treated with Clear Correct?

Worldwide, almost 250,000 patients have been treated with Clear Correct. The number grows daily.

Do doctors need special training in order to use Clear Correct?

While Clear Correct can be used with virtually any treatment philosophy, specific training is needed. All orthodontists and dentists interested in treating patients with Clear Correct must attend training before cases will be accepted from their office. Close to 30,000 orthodontists and dentists worldwide are certified to use Clear Correct.

How does Clear Correct effectively move teeth?

Like brackets and arch wires are to braces, Clear Correct aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth. The principal difference is that Clear Correct not only controls forces, but also controls the timing of the force application. At each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, and these movements are determined by the orthodontic treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system.
