ClearCorrect Aligners
In Chicago Heights, IL

ClearCorrect aligners, often called invisible braces, provide a discreet, modern orthodontic solution using clear, removable trays. These custom-made, computer-designed aligners gradually shift teeth into place, helping correct misalignment. Patients enjoy the convenience of removing the aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing as usual.

Benefits of ClearCorrect include:

ClearCorrect provides a discreet, effective solution for straightening teeth. Ideal candidates are those committed to following the clear aligner process, which includes wearing the trays 22 hours daily and removing them only for eating and brushing.

ClearCorrect is a great choice for adults who prefer to avoid metal braces and brackets. It effectively addresses crowded teeth, gaps, crooked teeth, and bite issues like overbite, open bite, crossbite, and underbite. During a consultation, the dentist evaluates each candidate to ensure ClearCorrect is the most suitable option for their needs.

During a consultation, our dentists assess each patient’s suitability for ClearCorrect orthodontic treatment. If ClearCorrect is the optimal choice for achieving a straight, beautiful smile, the process begins with taking photos, x-rays, and a dental scan of the patient’s teeth and face. ClearCorrect is an excellent solution for dental concerns such as:

Each patient receives a digital preview outlining their ClearCorrect journey, with custom-designed trays that align precisely to their teeth. Aligners are worn 22 hours daily, changing approximately every one to three weeks, and each new aligner gradually shifts the teeth by about 0.2 mm. Consistent adherence to these guidelines ensures optimal results.

Good oral hygiene is essential throughout the ClearCorrect process. Patients should clean trays daily with mild soap or non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent bacteria buildup. As aligners gradually reposition teeth, they guide the teeth to a straight, attractive alignment, usually completed within one to two years, depending on the patient’s level of cooperation.

Upon completing treatment, patients receive a retainer to maintain their new smile. Most choose clear retainers, though some prefer a permanent retainer placed on the inner lower front teeth, depending on their lifestyle and preferences.

During the consultation, the dentist will explain the ClearCorrect teeth-straightening process in detail. While mild soreness or discomfort is common at the start of treatment or with each new set of aligners, this typically subsides as the mouth adjusts to the aligners.

ClearCorrect’s innovative, computerized treatment plan provides a predictable and comfortable path to straighter teeth, offering a convenient alternative to traditional metal braces.
