Who Can Get ClearCorrect Aligners
Most patients can receive and benefit from ClearCorrect aligners. This includes those who are missing teeth, getting extensive treatment, or receiving dental restorations. Our team has the knowledge and understanding to explain the appropriate course of treatment for each patient. Some patients may need additional elements of treatment, such as aligner engagers, to get the most out of their ClearCorrect. Patients with severe orthodontic issues may need other types of treatment.
The major factor that affects the success of any patient's treatment is their compliance with the dentist's instructions. Typically, people wearing ClearCorrect must commit to having the aligners on for 22 hours per day. This leaves time to remove them for meals and cleaning. Taking them out for longer can cause the teeth to shift back to their original position, which can reduce the effectiveness of the aligners and prolong the total time necessary to complete treatment. A data review published in the BMC Oral Health Journal found that, in general, aligner treatments work faster than traditional braces.

The Process of Receiving and Making ClearCorrect Aligners
Our team takes impressions of the teeth, as well as imaging studies, pictures, and any other necessary documentation. This information goes to a dental lab, which uses it to make a precise model of the teeth. Then, our team uses this model to demonstrate how ClearCorrect aligners can reposition them. It is important to note that specific goals depend both on patient preferences and what is realistically possible. The patient and our dentist decide on treatment goals and formulate a plan.
After making a decision, the lab then creates the first set of aligners. The next set is based on updated information to provide a high level of precision and customization. Most patients need four sets of aligners, each worn for about three weeks, to complete treatment. Depending on their particular situation, some patients may need additional steps.
“A custom set of aligners is created for each patient, and patients will use several sets during treatment.”
The Benefits of ClearCorrect Braces
There are many great reasons to choose ClearCorrect braces. Molar Bear Dental recommends them to patients in need of teeth straightening who are appropriate candidates and who want to enjoy a more discreet treatment option. These are a few benefits of these aligners:
- Subtle: ClearCorrect braces are a subtle alternative to traditional braces. They consist of crack- and stain-resistant, clear plastic, rendering them almost completely invisible when in place.
- Effective: Treatments like ClearCorrect braces are typically effective at realigning teeth. They are most effective when the patient carefully follows the dentist’s instructions. It may also be necessary to wear a retainer after treatment to ensure the permanence of the results.
- Boost Confidence: Changing one’s smile can change the way they live. Many people suffer from low self-esteem related to crooked teeth. ClearCorrect braces can be an effective way to overcome insecurities based on orthodontic issues.
- Support Oral Health: Misaligned teeth can be harmful to oral health. Patients with misaligned teeth are more likely to have dental problems and a strained mandible area. For many patients, correcting misalignments with ClearCorrect braces may lead to a healthier mouth.
- Removable: Although patients should keep their ClearCorrect braces in as instructed, they are removable. You may remove the trays when eating or drinking certain fluids for extra comfort, making dental hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces.

Caring for ClearCorrect Aligners
Taking proper care of ClearCorrect Aligners is a crucial part of keeping the appliance clean and minimally visible. Patients should clean their ClearCorrect aligners with non-abrasive toothpaste or with soap. Avoid using hot water, as it can deform the material.
Also, avoid harsh cleaners such as alcohol or bleach, as they tend to be damaging. We recommend patients take the aligners out before eating or drinking. Additionally, avoid hot foods and any drinks besides water. When eating, patients should always remove their aligners to avoid damaging or staining them.

How to Properly Care for ClearCorrect Aligners
Patients who undergo ClearCorrect aligner treatment are given a set of detailed instructions on proper care and maintenance for both the aligners and teeth themselves. However, there are set guidelines for the general maintenance of ClearCorrect aligners.
Use a soft toothbrush and antibacterial soap or a cleaning solution when cleaning the aligner trays. Gently brush the inside and outside of each tray, and thoroughly brush and rinse the teeth before inserting them in. It is crucial that all food particles and debris are swept away before aligners are put in the mouth to avoid staining or damaging the aligners.
