Watch to Learn More About the Process

How Does ClearCorrect Work?

With ClearCorrect, a series of removable, customized aligners moves your teeth toward the desired position bit by bit. You wear each set for roughly two weeks, then switch to the next set in the sequence. How many trays your series includes depends on how much movement is needed, and the process usually takes 6-18 months based on your individual needs and the severity of the misalignment.

Your consultation with Dr. MacFarlane is when you will learn the expected timeframe for reaching your smile goals. How closely you follow the treatment plan also affects the timeline you can expect.

Advantages of ClearCorrect Over Traditional Braces

Comfort & Convenience

  • Discreet. In your mouth, ClearCorrect aligners are barely visible. Friends, family, and coworkers may never notice them at all.
  • Comfortable. Unlike metal brackets and wires, the smooth plastic surface will not scratch or damage the inside of your mouth.
  • Removable. Take the trays out for meals, cleaning, and special occasions, and you will face no dietary restrictions.
  • Easy oral hygiene. There are no brackets and wires to work around, so you brush and floss just as you normally would.

Results & Value

  • Fast. Where traditional metal braces can take up to 3 years, treatment typically runs 6-18 months.
  • Affordable. As a cost-effective clear aligner option, ClearCorrect comes with financing available.
  • Safe. ClearCorrect lowers the risk of gum disease and cavities that can come with conventional metal braces.
  • Predictable. Thanks to advanced digital planning, you can preview your expected results before treatment even begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both ClearCorrect and Invisalign are clear aligner systems built around custom-made removable trays that straighten teeth, and both treat mild to moderate alignment issues effectively. ClearCorrect tends to be the more affordable choice while still producing excellent results. Its quality, affordability, and flexibility for patients are why Dr. MacFarlane chose to offer it at our practice.

How long treatment takes comes down to the complexity of your case. Many patients finish ClearCorrect treatment within 6 to 18 months. Minor spacing or crowding may resolve more quickly, while more complex alignment issues can take longer. At your consultation in our Red Bank, NJ office, Dr. MacFarlane will give you a personalized timeline.

When they start a new set of aligners, most patients feel some mild pressure or tightness, a normal sign that the aligners are moving your teeth. That sensation usually fades within a day or two. Set against the discomfort that traditional braces adjustments can bring, many patients find clear aligners more comfortable overall.

Before eating or drinking anything other than plain water, you should take your aligners out. Hot beverages can warp the plastic, and trapped food particles between the aligners and your teeth can raise your cavity risk. To keep your oral hygiene on track throughout treatment, brush your teeth after eating before you put the aligners back in.

So Dr. MacFarlane can monitor progress and hand off the next sets of aligners, most ClearCorrect patients come in every 4 to 6 weeks. These visits are usually brief. Your exact schedule depends on your individual treatment plan and how your teeth respond to the aligners.

From mild to moderate crowding and spacing to overbites, underbites, and crossbites, ClearCorrect is designed to treat a wide range of alignment issues. That said, very complex orthodontic cases may be better suited for traditional braces. To find out whether you are a candidate, schedule a consultation with Dr. MacFarlane, who will evaluate your teeth and discuss your options.

What ClearCorrect treatment costs depends on the complexity of your case and how many aligner trays you need. Among clear aligner options, ClearCorrect is generally seen as one of the more affordable choices. At your consultation, our team will give you a detailed cost estimate and go over payment plans and financing options to help treatment fit your budget.

Just as they would for traditional braces, many dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits will cover a portion of ClearCorrect treatment. Since coverage varies by plan, our office staff will verify your benefits and help you understand what your insurance may cover. For any remaining out-of-pocket costs, we also offer financing.

Once you finish your final set of aligners, Dr. MacFarlane will provide a retainer to help hold your new tooth positions. Because teeth naturally tend to shift over time, wearing your retainer as directed is essential for preserving your results. After an initial period of full-time wear, most patients move to wearing the retainer only at night.

Should an aligner be lost or damaged, reach out to our office as soon as you can. Based on where you are in your treatment sequence, Dr. MacFarlane may have you advance to the next set or wear your previous set temporarily while a replacement is ordered. Try not to go without any aligner for an extended period, since your teeth may begin to shift.

That straighter, more confident smile is closer than you think. Book your ClearCorrect consultation at The Center for Holistic Dental Medicine in Red Bank, NJ.
