ClearCorrect is an alignment tray orthodontic system that can be used to effectively straighten smiles even for those patients with advanced misalignment like over, under, or crossbite. Traditional braces are not the right orthodontic solution for every patient, and ClearCorrect is a viable alternative for many.
Traditional braces use brackets attached to the front facing surfaces of teeth and connected wires to move teeth into alignment. The wires are adjusted to place pressure on specific teeth, moving them into position. ClearCorrect uses a series of clear aligners to perform the same function. Each set of alignment trays represents your smile one step closer to the desired end result. You’ll wear these aligners for about two weeks. Then, exchange them for the next set of aligners. With checkups every six to eight weeks, you’ll see your desired end result in about a year of treatment.
