Candidates for ClearCorrect Braces
According to WebMD, many adults and teens are excellent candidates for invisible aligners like ClearCorrect braces. Children are typically not as suitable for the treatment because their mouths are still growing. Teeth that are in the earlier stages of development make the process of creating the aligner much more complex, reducing the likelihood of having positive final results.
Additionally, the candidates who achieve more successful results usually have mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues. Patients who have severe crowding, underbites, overbites, or crossbites may need more aggressive treatment. In these cases, we may recommend another treatment followed by ClearCorrect braces.

The Process of Receiving and Making ClearCorrect Aligners
Our team takes impressions of the teeth, as well as imaging studies, pictures, and any other necessary documentation. This information goes to a dental lab, which uses it to make a precise model of the teeth. Then, our team uses this model to demonstrate how ClearCorrect aligners can reposition them. It is important to note that specific goals depend both on patient preferences and what is realistically possible. The patient and our dentist decide on treatment goals and formulate a plan.
After making a decision, the lab then creates the first set of aligners. The next set is based on updated information to provide a high level of precision and customization. Most patients need four sets of aligners, each worn for about three weeks, to complete treatment. Depending on their particular situation, some patients may need additional steps.
“A custom set of aligners is created for each patient, and patients will use several sets during treatment.”
The Benefits of ClearCorrect Braces
There are many great reasons to choose ClearCorrect braces. Smile with Care Dental At Southlands recommends them to patients in need of teeth straightening who are appropriate candidates and who want to enjoy a more discreet treatment option. These are a few benefits of these aligners:
- Subtle: ClearCorrect braces are a subtle alternative to traditional braces. They consist of crack- and stain-resistant, clear plastic, rendering them almost completely invisible when in place.
- Effective: Treatments like ClearCorrect braces are typically effective at realigning teeth. They are most effective when the patient carefully follows the dentist’s instructions. It may also be necessary to wear a retainer after treatment to ensure the permanence of the results.
- Boost Confidence: Changing one’s smile can change the way they live. Many people suffer from low self-esteem related to crooked teeth. ClearCorrect braces can be an effective way to overcome insecurities based on orthodontic issues.
- Support Oral Health: Misaligned teeth can be harmful to oral health. Patients with misaligned teeth are more likely to have dental problems and a strained mandible area. For many patients, correcting misalignments with ClearCorrect braces may lead to a healthier mouth.
- Removable: Although patients should keep their ClearCorrect braces in as instructed, they are removable. You may remove the trays when eating or drinking certain fluids for extra comfort, making dental hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces.

What You Need to Know About Invisible Aligners
While there are plenty of reasons to choose invisible aligners, you should know that there are a few lifestyle changes and factors you may need to make for them to be at their most effective. We are committed to helping our patients make informed decisions. Here are a few factors of invisible aligners the American Association of Orthodontics recommends people know about:
- Required Care. Patients need to be careful when drinking with their aligners. Liquids can get between the aligners and the teeth. Any acidic or sugary drinks such as coffee, soda, and alcohol can cause cavities and weakened enamel.
- The Temptation to Remove. Many patients love that these aligners are removable. Still, the aligners cannot work if they are not in the mouth most of the time. Taking them out for too long may disrupt the treatment process.
- Cost. Compared to traditional braces, invisible aligners may be more expensive. However, this varies from case to case. Talk with our team to determine what the expected cost for this treatment may be and possible insurance coverage.

The Impact of ClearCorrect Aligners
ClearCorrect aligners shift teeth gradually, repositioning teeth without drastically altering the patient's lifestyle. This orthodontic system is less noticeable and invasive than other traditional orthodontic methods. Patients can benefit from the minimal impact on their everyday routines. These clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a great option for people who want straight teeth without the hassle and distraction of visible metal braces.
The flexibility of the ClearCorrect system makes eating and dental hygiene more convenient as patients can easily remove their devices temporarily. While ClearCorrect aligners are aesthetically pleasing and convenient, patients must make sure that they are wearing the appliance for the prescribed amount of time each day.
