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.

How ClearCorrect Braces Work
ClearCorrect braces work similarly to systems like Invisalign® as an alternative to traditional braces. They gently push on the teeth to move them a little at a time. The treatment consists of a series of aligners that progressively get closer to the planned result. Depending on the severity of necessary treatment, a patient may require only one or two aligners or may need several over a multi-month period.
To create the aligners, the dentist takes measurements of the mouth and creates a 3D model. This model guides the design process of clear aligners. The aligners are then created and given to the patient, typically in sets of two or more. We will continue to monitor and adjust the treatment based on the patient's progress.

The Pros and Cons of Clear Aligners
While many people benefit from clear aligners, weighing the pros and cons can help each individual make the right choice for them. Whether deciding to get orthodontic treatment at all or weighing braces versus aligners, it makes sense to review all available information. Advantages of aligners include:
- Comfort. Many find clear aligners to be more comfortable than traditional braces. They eliminate some of the more unpleasant aspects of braces, such as wire tightening. Their removal also does not require scraping off dental cement.
- Time-saving. One time-saving bonus is that patients do not need to sit through wire tightening with aligners like they would with conventional braces. Instead, all of the necessary aligners are usually given to the patient in one visit.
- Easy cleaning. One problem those who wear braces face is the difficulty of cleaning them thoroughly. For optimal dental health, the Mayo Clinic emphasizes the importance of removing food debris, which can harbor bacteria. Removable aligners make this task easy.
However, some people find it challenging to comply with the strict wearing schedule. Unlike those who wear braces, who lack the option of removing their braces, ClearCorrect patients may forget to put their aligners back in, setting back treatment. Also, they require the extra step of removing when eating.

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.

The Impact of ClearCorrect Aligners
ClearCorrect aligners shift teeth gradually, repositioning teeth without drastically altering the patient's lifestyle. This orthodontic system is less noticeable and invasive than other traditional orthodontic methods. Patients can benefit from the minimal impact on their everyday routines. These clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a great option for people who want straight teeth without the hassle and distraction of visible metal braces.
The flexibility of the ClearCorrect system makes eating and dental hygiene more convenient as patients can easily remove their devices temporarily. While ClearCorrect aligners are aesthetically pleasing and convenient, patients must make sure that they are wearing the appliance for the prescribed amount of time each day.
