ClearCorrect® clear aligners are removable orthodontics that use a series of custom-fitted plastic trays to gradually reposition teeth. Each tray is customized to apply gentle, controlled pressure to move teeth incrementally toward the desired position.
At Gladnick Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer ClearCorrect as an alternative to traditional braces for suitable candidates.
How Clear Aligner Trays Work
Each tray in the ClearCorrect series is slightly different from the last. Wearing each tray for the prescribed period, usually one to two weeks, moves teeth a small amount before you progress to the next tray. Over the course of treatment, these small movements add up to the planned final position.
Wear and Care for Your Aligners
You should wear your aligners at least 20–22 hours daily to ensure that your treatment progresses on schedule. Remove them for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Who Is ClearCorrect Designed For?
ClearCorrect is suitable for many adults and teens with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or alignment concerns. It is not appropriate for all orthodontic cases. Your dentist at Gladnick Family and Cosmetic Dentistry will assess your teeth and bite during a consultation to determine whether ClearCorrect is the right option for you.
