A great smile can improve your appearance and your confidence. But the benefits of straight teeth aren’t just about looks. Teeth work best when they mesh together like gears, in ideal occlusion. When teeth don’t align properly, it’s called malocclusion. This can make it harder to chew, wear down your enamel, accelerate tooth decay, make you look older, and even cause serious long-term damage.

Various types of dental occlusion and alignment issues.

So straightening your teeth has real aesthetic and physical benefts—but how can we do it? The traditional method is to use metal wires and brackets.
These work great, but they do have some downsides: the brackets can’t be removed until you’re done, you can’t eat certain foods, and of course, it’s pretty obvious you’re wearing braces. Fortunately, there’s a better option!

It’s a plastic tray customized to fit your teeth and straighten them over time. Aligners are nearly invisible. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. Every 1 to 3 weeks, you’ll switch to a new, updated aligner. Each step moves your teeth a little closer to your goal. You can remove your aligners to eat & brush your teeth. But don’t forget to put them back on…
Of course, no one can guarantee a perfect result for any treatment. Discuss risks and potential outcomes with your doctor before starting treatment. If you experience any issues, let your doctor know right away. By keeping in touch with your doctor and wearing your aligners regularly, you can maximize your chances of success.

FAQs

What are ClearCorrect aligners made of?

ClearCorrect aligners are made from a specialized, BPA-free plastic material. These transparent trays are custom-engineered to fit over your teeth comfortably while remaining discreet.

Can I remove the aligners to eat?

Yes. One of the primary features of clear aligners is that they are removable. This allows you to eat your favorite foods and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine without the obstruction of metal brackets.

How do I keep my aligners clean?

General maintenance involves rinsing your aligners with cool water and cleaning them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush. It is typically recommended to clean them every time you remove them to keep the plastic clear and hygienic.

Will people be able to tell I am wearing them?

ClearCorrect aligners are designed to be nearly invisible. Because they are made of thin, transparent material that fits snugly against your teeth, they are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces.

What is "malocclusion"?

Malocclusion is the standard dental term for teeth that do not align properly when the jaws are closed. This includes common issues like crowding, spacing, or an irregular bite, which clear aligner systems are designed to address.
