ClearCorrect treatment length is different for each patient. The complexity of your case will determine how long your treatment takes. Your dentist will provide a treatment timeline estimate during your initial consultation based on your specific needs.
Typical Clear Aligner Treatment Duration
For mild misalignments, ClearCorrect treatment may take as little as six months. However, most cases require 12 to 18 months. Cases involving more significant crowding or spacing may take longer. These are estimates, and treatment time in your case depends on how much movement is required and how consistently you wear your trays.
What Affects the Treatment Timeline
Compliance is the most controllable factor in treatment duration. You should wear your trays 20 to 22 hours daily to move teeth on schedule. Wearing trays less than this extends treatment time.
It’s also important to attend scheduled progress appointments so your dentist can confirm that your treatment is progressing as planned or if adjustments are needed.
Wearing Your Retainers
Once your final tray is complete, the next step is retention. This phase involves wearing your retainer as prescribed by your dentist to ensure your teeth stay in their newly-aligned positions. Without a retainer, your teeth can shift back toward their original position over time.
