Great Options to a Straighter Smile
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to help patients achieve their desired results. Over time, as these wires are adjusted, the patient’s teeth are moved into their ideal position, improving both appearance and oral health. ClearCorrect, rely on clear alignment trays rather than metal brackets and wires.
Subtly Align
Your Smile
These clear aligners are virtually undetectable to others during day-to-day interactions, allowing patients to enjoy greater discretion during the treatment process. Patients undergoing treatment with ClearCorrect wear their custom-made trays day and night, with each tray in the patient’s special treatment kit gradually shifting teeth into their correct position.
Easy Smile Maintenance
Besides being clear, they can be removed during meals and for brushing and flossing. This means that patients enjoy the same diet, and care for their smile just as they normally would. Compare this with the experience patients have with traditional braces. Certain foods become trapped in the wires of traditional braces, and both the brackets and wires of traditional braces can make brushing and flossing more difficult.
Treatment that Suits Your Schedule
Clear alternatives like ClearCorrect don’t need to be tightened the way traditional braces do. Instead, you’ll simply upgrade to the next aligner in your treatment kit. As a result, you won’t have to visit our Wall Township dental office as often as you would have to for traditional braces. During your visits, we’ll simply check that your mouth is responding positively to the therapy. We’ll also be able to tell you the estimated time until your treatment is complete!

ClearCorrect FAQs
How Long Does ClearCorrect Take?
Usually, clear aligner treatment takes between 12 months and 18 months. That said, the length of your teeth-straightening journey will depend largely on the specifics of your plan, including how many trays you have and how often you progress to the next set in the series. The good news is that we can provide you with a general timeframe upfront. Plus, we can share all of our tips and tricks on how to stay on track with your treatment plan, including how to make the 20-22 hour-a-day wear time easy.
Are There Any Dietary Restrictions with ClearCorrect?
As your dental team, we always recommend sticking to a well-balanced diet that isn’t loaded with added sugar in an effort to avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and the like. Outside of that, there aren’t any dietary restrictions. Simply take your aligners off, enjoy your meal, brush your teeth, and put your trays back on – it’s that easy!
Does ClearCorrect Hurt?
Patients are often worried that their teeth-straightening journey with ClearCorrect will hurt. If that’s something that has been on your mind, then you’ll be happy to know that the aligners are completely metal-free, which makes them considerably more comfortable than traditional braces. Plus, any soreness that does arise from the movement of your teeth can be soothed by sipping on cool water, sticking to soft foods, and taking OTC pain medication as directed.
What Happens After ClearCorrect?
After ClearCorrect, it’s time to move onto the retention phase of your orthodontic treatment. At this point, we will take impressions of your teeth and have a custom retainer made. Then, we will show you how to care for it and provide you with specific instructions on when to wear it. This last part is particularly important because – if you don’t wear your retainer – your teeth may move back into their previously misaligned positions.
How Do I Clean My ClearCorrect Aligners?
Fortunately, keeping your clear aligners in pristine condition isn’t costly or cumbersome. First, make sure to rinse them thoroughly with clean, cool water each time you take them out. Then, store them in their designated case to prevent bacteria and other debris from clinging to the surface. Before you put them back on, brush and floss your teeth, and use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your aligners.
Can I Drink Coffee with ClearCorrect?
Although you can’t drink coffee with your aligners on, you can drink coffee with your aligners off! The best thing to do is drink this caffeinated beverage alongside your breakfast or lunch. That way, you’re keeping the amount of time you aren’t wearing your trays to a minimum.
