ClearCorrect™ in Caroline Springs

The cost of treatment varies based on your unique requirements. Typically, ClearCorrect is less expensive than Invisalign. A full treatment is recommended to achieve the most satisfactory results and costs between $4,000 and $5,000. If you only have a minor problem like crowding or misaligned teeth, the Flex option is a better alternative and costs between $2,500 and $3,500.

ClearCorrect orthodontic treatment usually takes less time than conventional metal braces. The average treatment time is anywhere from 6-18 months, but you can expect to see results within a few weeks.

Each aligner exerts a specific amount of continuous pressure on certain teeth, gradually shifting them by no more than 0.3 mm. Once the first movement is complete, the aligner is removed and replaced with the next aligner. The process repeats itself until, after a few months, the teeth are gently brought back into perfect alignment. We’ll invite you to visit the clinic every six weeks or so to check on the progress you’re making and give you your next set of aligners.

The gentle pressure you’ll feel with each new set of ClearCorrect aligners isn’t as painful as the discomfort of metal braces. Furthermore, ClearCorrect aligners are polished to remove rough edges, ensuring that they do not cause further pain from mouth sores.

Adults and teenagers with mild to moderate tooth misalignment or crowding will benefit from this treatment. Unfortunately, ClearCorrect is not suitable for everyone. We’ll need to take a quick look at your teeth to see if you qualify. ClearCorrect may not be appropriate if you have active tooth decay, significant crowding, or gum disease. 

Traditional braces may be a better option if your condition is more complicated. Alternatively, if you cannot commit at least 22 hours per day to wearing your aligners, they may not be the best option for you. We’ll be able to see if you’re a good candidate for ClearCorrect during your consultation appointment.

Among the alternatives to ClearCorrect are:

• Invisalign: Invisalign is another brand name for a set of custom aligners that cover your teeth and gradually move them into their proper place. They are less obvious than typical metal braces because they are clear and can be taken on and off. They are, however, more expensive than ClearCorrect.
  
  
• Lingual Braces: For those who are mainly concerned with appearance, lingual braces are a great alternative to ClearCorrect because they are hidden behind the teeth and are not visible when you smile. Lingual braces can be made from metal, ceramic, clear, or a combination of these materials.
  
  
• Traditional Metal Braces: ClearCorrect is undoubtedly a desirable treatment option for some people because of its aesthetic appeal, but traditional metal braces may be a better alternative in severe cases. In traditional braces, brackets are affixed to each tooth, and a wire is used to attach them.

Patients must first visit a qualified ClearCorrect provider, like Magical Smiles, to begin the treatment process. This aligner treatment is not available online, and you need to see a licensed dentist in person.
