ClearCorrect Aligners

ClearCorrect aligners are a temporary, ‘invisible’ treatment meant to correct malocclusion (teeth that are crowded or crooked), fixing your bite and promoting a beautiful, straight smile.

Also, and more importantly, they allow your mouth to be healthier. If malocclusion is not addressed early on, a patient can suffer from long-term oral issues.

Most orthodontic treatments begin between the ages of 8 and 14, but Cleveland Dental Institute serves patients of all ages.

Traditional wire braces vs. ClearCorrect Aligners

There are several treatment options available, with the most common being small brackets bonded to your teeth and connected by a wire. These braces can be placed either on the front or back of your teeth. Over time, your doctor will adjust the wires, gradually shifting and realigning both your teeth and jaw.

For patients who prefer an alternative to traditional braces, ClearCorrect aligners are a popular option. Similar to Invisalgin, this treatment uses nearly invisible aligners that fit perfectly over your teeth, though there are some differences between Invisalign and ClearCorrect treatments.

Invisalign vs. ClearCorrect Aligners

ClearCorrect and Invisalign are both clear aligner systems designed to straighten teeth, but they have some key differences.

Invisalign aligners are made from a patented material called SmartTrack, which is designed for flexibility and comfort, while ClearCorrect aligners are made from a thinner, more rigid plastic, which some users find less noticeable.

ClearCorrect is often less expensive than Invisalign, but the exact price can vary depending on the severity of the case and treatment needs.

Both aligner systems use 3D scanning and printing technology, resulting in precise aligner fit, but ClearCorrect’s aligners use a thinner material, which some patients say makes them less noticable, and ClearCorrect’s aligners are manually cut for the molding of teeth.
