ClearCorrect Cosmetic Orthodontic Treatment: Is It Right for You?
Orthodontic treatment isn’t as difficult as you may think, especially if you’re using ClearCorrect clear aligners to straighten your teeth. Clear aligner therapy from Flower Mound Dental in Flower Mound, TX, offers greater comfort and ease over traditional metal braces. Still, you may have questions about the effectiveness of this treatment. Dr. William E. Wyatt, Jr., answers those questions here.
What is ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect is a modern cosmetic orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners work like metal braces to shift crooked teeth into a straighter position, without contending with brackets and wires on your teeth.
How does the ClearCorrect system work?
ClearCorrect makes use of a series of clear, plastic aligners to straighten your teeth. These aligners exert gentle pressure on your teeth to slowly move them to a straighter position. The aligners are custom-fitted for your teeth and changed every few weeks to keep up the momentum of shifting your teeth. You’ll wear the aligners 20-22 hours a day, removing them for brief periods when you eat and brush your teeth. Your treatment ends when your smile goals are achieved.
Who’s a candidate for ClearCorrect orthodontics?
Most people with mild to moderate orthodontic issues can benefit from this treatment. If your problems are severe, Dr. William Wyatt may recommend metal braces to straighten your teeth.

How long does it take to straighten my teeth with ClearCorrect aligners?
As no two orthodontic treatments are the same, there’s no set timeframe for completion. A lot depends on the problems that need to be addressed, the complexity of your case, and your compliance with wearing the aligners as instructed. On average, ClearCorrect treatments last 12-18 months.
Are there foods I shouldn’t eat with ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect aligners are removed for eating, so there are no dietary restrictions. However, we recommend you stick to a healthy diet to avoid problems with decay and other dental issues that can delay your treatment. Aligners should always be removed for snacks, meals, and drinking any beverage other than water to protect them from staining and accidental damage.
How do I care for my aligners?
The aligners can be brushed with clear liquid soap and rinsed in warm water every time they’re removed. This keeps them fresh and hygienic for your use. When they’re not in use, store your aligners in a safe place where they won’t get lost or damaged.
Why should I choose ClearCorrect cosmetic orthodontic treatment?
The benefits of this system are many, including:
- Discreet appearance as the clear aligners are hardly noticeable on your teeth
- Convenience of removing the aligners for eating and oral hygiene
- Custom-fitted aligners for comfort and ease
- No dietary restrictions
- Easier oral care
