ClearCorrect™
In addition to your overall oral health, our office is committed to giving you a beautiful smile that you can be proud of. For many people, a straight set of teeth is a cornerstone of self-confidence. We understand that straightening your teeth with traditional metal braces can seem like a daunting & unappealing way to get a nicer smile, which is why we have decided to offer more attractive alternatives to patients with mild to moderate orthodontic cases.
What Is ClearCorrect™?
ClearCorrect™ works by using a series of aligners that push crooked teeth into place. The Murrieta dentist will take an impression of your teeth & send it off to a lab where your individualized aligners are made. You only wear each set for a few weeks & you’ll get new pairs of aligners at every checkup appointment.
ClearCorrect™ has three options for your orthodontic treatment:
- Limited 6 (six aligners to complete treatment)
- Limited 12 (12 aligners to complete treatment)
- Unlimited (as many aligners as necessary)
Each pair of aligners will take you closer to your cosmetic goals. For most patients, it takes about a year on average to get their desired smile. Your dentist or orthodontist can tell you the approximate length of your treatment before you get started. It all depends on how complex your individual case is.
ClearCorrect™ vs. Other Clear Aligners
ClearCorrect™ has a couple of advantages over other brands of clear aligners. ClearCorrect™ aligners extend over the gum line, which helps apply more force with greater leverage. This means they require fewer engagers & are therefore less intrusive than other systems. ClearCorrect™ also offers “limited” treatment options, which can treat simple cases more affordably than other systems. Other than these differences, ClearCorrect™ & other brands of clear orthodontics are virtually the same in form & function.
Procedure Overview
Some stubborn teeth have a harder time shifting & need extra help. A ClearCorrect™ engager (also known as an attachment) is a small bump of bonding resin that we can temporarily put on a tooth to help the aligner make contact. Better aligner contact puts more pressure on the tooth, ensuring it will shift with the rest of your teeth.
When placing engagers, we adhere to a conservative process with a focus on maintaining your smile’s aesthetics. We use a tooth-colored material that blends with your smile & that is easily removable without shots or drilling.
To ensure the greatest possible result for your new smile & to avoid a prolonged & more costly process, you need to wear your clear aligners for most of the day, including when you sleep. Dentists recommend wearing your ClearCorrect™ aligners for around 22 hours a day. The only times you should take them off are to eat, drink, brush or floss. You can also remove them for special occasions, but you need to keep track of how long you have your aligners off & make sure you remember to put them back on! The convenience of removable orthodontics can be a blessing, but it won’t do you any good if you don’t stay on top of your treatment.

Frequently asked questions
How does ClearCorrect work?
ClearCorrect uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. You wear each set for about two weeks before switching to the next one in the series.
How is ClearCorrect different from Invisalign?
Both are clear aligner systems, but they differ in branding, manufacturing, pricing, and sometimes materials. ClearCorrect aligners are made in the U.S. and may offer different treatment options or cost structures depending on the provider.
Is ClearCorrect effective for all types of orthodontic cases?
ClearCorrect is best for mild to moderate alignment issues like crowded teeth, gaps, and minor bite problems. Severe orthodontic cases may require traditional braces or a combination of treatments.
How long does treatment with ClearCorrect take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients see results in 6 to 18 months. You’ll need to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day for best results.
Is ClearCorrect covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits will partially cover ClearCorrect, similar to braces. Coverage varies, so it’s important to check with your provider or ask your dental office to verify benefits.
