How ClearCorrect Works
Instead of metal brackets and wires, ClearCorrect uses a series of clear plastic aligner trays to gently shift the teeth. They fit comfortably, they have a low profile, and they apply a small but consistent pressure that slowly brings them into their correct positions. All a patient has to do is wear each set for a minimum of 20 hours a day and for 1-2 weeks at a time, too!
Who ClearCorrect Can Help
ClearCorrect can help patients with all sorts of orthodontic problems, including the ones listed below. That said, the only way to find out if you’re a good candidate is by scheduling a consultation. At this visit, we will complete a comprehensive oral exam to determine if clear aligners are the best treatment for you.
Crowded Teeth
If your teeth overlap, you can run into several issues, including trouble enunciating clearly. Fortunately, ClearCorrect can address mild to moderate cases of overcrowding without any metal at all. Not only that, but patients often achieve the results they desire in just 12-18 months.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gapped teeth can also lead to several issues, including gum disease and low self-esteem, which is why we encourage patients to explore their treatment options, like ClearCorrect. This Invisalign alternative is reliable, safe, effective, and can deliver beautiful results without noticeable brackets and wires.
Bite Alignment
In addition to improving the alignment of your teeth, ClearCorrect can improve the alignment of your bite! So, if you have an overbite, crossbite, underbite, or open bite, don’t just assume your only option is traditional braces.
The Benefits of ClearCorrect
Adult patients and teens love ClearCorrect because the trays are practically invisible, meaning their friends and coworkers won’t know they are undergoing orthodontic treatment. Plus, whenever it is time to eat or brush, patients can simply take their trays out until they are done. Also, in many cases, ClearCorrect can straighten the teeth in just 12-18 months (compared to 2-3 years with braces).
How Much Does ClearCorrect Cost?
There are several factors that impact the cost of this smile-enhancing service, including the orthodontic problem at hand, whether single arch treatment is possible, and how many aligners need to be made. For that reason, we cannot provide you with an accurate estimate of the cost here. We will, however, give you a number at your consultation and review all of the financial solutions we welcome.

ClearCorrect FAQs
How Long Do Clear Aligners Take?
Oftentimes, patients achieve the results they desire in just 12-18 months. With that said, it’s possible for your teeth-straightening journey to fall outside of that timeframe. After all, there are several factors that we need to consider, including the severity of your misalignment. Not only that, but if you don’t wear your aligners for a minimum of 20 hours a day or you don’t switch to each new set in the series on the correct days, you could fall off track with your treatment plan.
Can I Use Toothpaste to Clean My Clear Aligners?
No, you should not use toothpaste to clean your aligners. You also shouldn’t use mouthwash or bleach! Instead, we recommend removing food particles, plaque, and other debris with a damp, soft-bristle toothbrush and clear, mild dishwashing liquid. If needed, you can soak them for 15 minutes or so in a dentist-approved clear aligner cleaner as well.
Do Clear Aligners Hurt?
To be honest, it is normal to experience slight soreness as your teeth begin to move. The silver lining is that this is a sign that your clear aligners are working! Plus, you can easily alleviate any discomfort you feel by sipping on cool water and taking OTC pain medication as directed. You can also switch to each new set of trays in the series immediately before bed. That way, you sleep through the initial adjustment period.
Is There Anything I Can’t Eat with Clear Aligners?
Technically, there aren’t any dietary restrictions with clear aligners in Cambria. However, there are some foods that can negatively impact the health of your teeth and gums, like taffy. For that reason, we encourage our patients to eat mostly well-balanced meals and to limit their intake of added sugar.
What Should I Do If I Lose One of My Clear Aligners?
If you accidentally lose one of your aligners, try to pinpoint the last place you had them. Then, retrace your steps! Since they are clear, it’s important to be very thorough in the process. It’s also important to look in places you might not expect, like your refrigerator, the waste bin in your kitchen, and your laundry basket. If you can’t find them anywhere, then call our team at Cambria Smiles so we can determine how to get you back on track with your treatment plan.
Can I Drink Coffee with ClearCorrect?
If you are a self-proclaimed coffee enthusiast, you’ll be happy to hear that you can enjoy your morning or afternoon cup throughout your orthodontic treatment. There’s just one rule: you need to remove your aligners beforehand. That way, the plastic doesn’t stain or warp, negatively impacting its appearance and effectiveness in the process.
