Clear aligners
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of transparent, medical-grade plastic trays custom-fabricated to fit your teeth perfectly. Each set of aligners is precisely calibrated to make small adjustments to the position of your teeth according to a treatment plan developed by your dentist. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, making them an attractive option for adults and teens who want to improve their smile discreetly.

Benefits of Clear Aligners
The popularity of clear aligners continues to grow, and for good reason. These innovative orthodontic devices offer numerous advantages over traditional braces:
Enhanced Aesthetics
The transparent nature of clear aligners makes them virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. This feature is particularly appealing to professionals and individuals who want to maintain a natural appearance throughout their treatment.
Improved Comfort
Clear aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces can. There are no wires or brackets to cause discomfort or require emergency visits for repairs.
Convenience
The removable nature of clear aligners allows you to enjoy all your favorite foods without restriction. Simply remove the aligners while eating and drinking, then clean your teeth before reinserting them. This also makes maintaining proper oral hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces.
Predictable Results
Advanced 3D imaging technology allows us to map out your entire treatment plan before you begin, showing you a preview of your expected results. This technology enables precise planning and helps ensure optimal outcomes.

The Clear Aligner Process
Getting started with clear aligners involves a straightforward, comfortable process:
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination of your teeth and oral health. We'll discuss your smile goals and determine if clear aligners are the right choice for your specific needs.
Digital Scanning
Using state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology, we create a precise digital model of your teeth. This eliminates the need for uncomfortable traditional impressions and allows us to plan your treatment with exceptional accuracy.
Custom Treatment Planning
Based on your digital scan, we develop a personalized treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. You'll be able to preview your new smile before treatment begins.
Aligner Fabrication
Your custom aligners are created using advanced 3D printing technology. Each set is precisely calibrated to achieve specific tooth movements according to your treatment plan.
Regular Progress Checks
Throughout your treatment, you'll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. You'll visit us periodically to monitor your progress and receive your next sets of aligners.
The duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on individual needs, typically ranging from 6 to 18 months. Success largely depends on wearing your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day and following your dentist's instructions carefully.
By choosing clear aligners, you're investing in a modern, convenient, and effective way to achieve the straight, beautiful smile you deserve. Our experienced team is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring optimal results and a comfortable treatment experience.
Clear Correct creates a 3D computer model of your bite by using advanced imaging technology to scan your teeth. The 3D image is captured with our in house Trios.
The scan would allow us to create aligners, which are 3D printed. Each aligner is designed to gently apply pressure at precise points to gently move your teeth. When you decide to start treatment, your aligners are ordered and your treatment can start as quickly as a few weeks later.
