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.
“According to WebMD, invisible aligners like ClearCorrect braces are an option for many adults and teens.”
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 Pros and Cons of Clear Aligners
While many people benefit from clear aligners, weighing the pros and cons can help each individual make the right choice for them. Whether deciding to get orthodontic treatment at all or weighing braces versus aligners, it makes sense to review all available information. Advantages of aligners include:
- Comfort. Many find clear aligners to be more comfortable than traditional braces. They eliminate some of the more unpleasant aspects of braces, such as wire tightening. Their removal also does not require scraping off dental cement.
- Time-saving. One time-saving bonus is that patients do not need to sit through wire tightening with aligners like they would with conventional braces. Instead, all of the necessary aligners are usually given to the patient in one visit.
- Easy cleaning. One problem those who wear braces face is the difficulty of cleaning them thoroughly. For optimal dental health, the Mayo Clinic emphasizes the importance of removing food debris, which can harbor bacteria. Removable aligners make this task easy.
However, some people find it challenging to comply with the strict wearing schedule. Unlike those who wear braces, who lack the option of removing their braces, ClearCorrect patients may forget to put their aligners back in, setting back treatment. Also, they require the extra step of removing when eating.

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.
