ClearCorrect is the perfect alternative to traditional adult braces and it’s one of the fastest and most effective orthodontic procedures available. During your initial consultation with the orthodontist, they’ll take photos, x-rays, impressions, and 3D scans of your teeth. This will allow them to send out a request for the perfect series of ClearCorrect braces for you to their laboratories.
The ClearCorrect invisible aligners are made of transparent thermoplastic material. Even though you can take them off at will, you have to wear them for at least 22 hours every day for maximum efficiency otherwise the treatment won’t work. These are invisible aligners and they don’t come with any metallic brackets or restrictions. The orthodontist will order a series of ClearCorrect braces for every 2 weeks of your treatment procedure. You’ll have to visit the dentist every 2 weeks so they can replace your existing braces with the next set. Each progressive ClearCorrect aligner will bring you closer to your goal.
If you wear the ClearCorrect braces diligently, you’ll notice a difference after every two weeks. The entire procedure should last for 6 months to 18 months. After that period, once your teeth are in the ideal position, the dentist will give you a set of retainers. You’ll have to wear the retainers for about 6 months to ensure that your teeth remain in their new location and don’t move back again.
