We get it, traditional braces can be uncomfortable and highly visible. ClearCorrect aligners represent a technological leap over traditional braces, thanks to their innovative technology and aesthetic grace.
Made from smooth, transparent plastic, the custom-made aligners are designed to gradually straighten your teeth while moving almost imperceptibly through your teeth.
At Smile Place, we can help you achieve a perfectly straight smile without the hassle of metal brackets with ClearCorrect Aligners.

ClearCorrect aligners offer a forward-thinking approach to achieving a healthier, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile, tailored to meet the needs of diverse patient groups.
ClearCorrect straightens teeth using custom-made, clear, and removable clear aligners.
Wires and brackets used to be the standard in orthodontics, but with advances in technology over recent years, ClearCorrect is another clear choice to straighten your teeth. It is a modern approach using custom-fit aligners manufactured specifically for your teeth.
They are made of smooth, clear plastic and fit tightly over your teeth to shift them into the correct spot gently. They are comfortable and less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They can be removed when eating or drinking as well as for maintaining oral hygiene.
Among the dental problems that can be treated with ClearCorrect aligners are mild to moderate misalignment such as spaces between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crooked or even crowded dentition. With state-of-the-art 3D digital scanning technology, we create an exact custom treatment plan designed to direct your teeth into their optimal positions.
Instead of metal brackets and wires, you will wear a series of different clear aligners that help gradually move your teeth into the right position. These are usually changed every 1-2 weeks depending on your custom treatment plan.
How It Works
First, you will review your dental needs and objectives with a dentist. If ClearCorrect is a good option for you, your dentist will take impressions, photographs and x-rays of your teeth, which are then used to create 3D images. Once the treatment plan is confirmed, a detailed prescription is sent to ClearCorrect where your aligners will be created by their technicians.
What It Can Do
ClearCorrect aligners help with a wide range of common dental issues that can negatively affect your smile and oral health. They align your teeth for both cosmetic and functional purposes, which can resolve bite interference as well as the risk of excessive wear or cavity development due to interlocking teeth. This not only improves the aesthetics of your smile but also significantly contributes to better oral health as a whole.
ClearCorrect is a popular orthodontic treatment known for its unique benefits compared to traditional metal braces. This innovative system uses custom-made, clear aligners that offer a variety of advantages, including:
Differences in Aligner Material and Design
Invisalign aligners are made from a patented SmartTrack™ material, which is designed for a snug fit and optimal comfort. ClearCorrect aligners are crafted from a slightly different, smooth plastic material that also ensures a comfortable fit, known as ClearQuartz™ material. Both are FDA-approved and BPA-free.
While both aligners are virtually invisible, Invisalign’s design may offer slightly more flexibility in terms of aligner thickness and adjustments. ClearCorrect aligners are typically thinner and may offer a different aesthetic appeal.
Variations in Treatment Plans and Costs
Invisalign may have more specific treatments due to it being a longer and older brand. ClearCorrect is another efficient treatment option, but it might have a bit different level of flexibility and features, such as stain resistance and thickness options. Please consult with our dentists at Smile Place for more information.
How much does Invisalign and ClearCorrect treatment cost? In general, Invisalign may cost more due to its advanced material and technology, but both options are competitively priced.
Differences in Available Aligner Options and Features
Invisalign has a variety of types, including aligners designed for more complex cases. ClearCorrect has fewer options, but you can still use it to treat most alignment problems.
There are also add-ons such as attachments and SmartForce® tools that Invisalign aligners use to help with more complex movements. Unfortunately, ClearCorrect only aims to offer a simple solution with their aligner series, which can be enough for less complicated cases.
Both ClearCorrect and Invisalign share the same technology and treatment approach to straightening teeth. These will make tiny changes over time to move your teeth into their ideal positioning with the help of these aligners.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The process commences with a thorough consultation during which our dentist will identify your dental needs and discuss your goals. The assessment is very useful in helping our patients decide whether they are the right candidate for ClearCorrect aligners.
Digital Scans and Treatment Planning
We take digital impressions (no more gooey trays full of impression material) and plan your treatment on the computer to show you every stage of tooth movement and how long it will take.
Custom Aligner Creation
We will then design your custom aligners. They are made of smooth, comfortable plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place.
Fitting and Instructions for Aligner Use
During your fitting appointment, we will give you your first set of aligners and show you how to wear them and look after them. We will advise you on how to use your aligners correctly and give them a good clean so that they benefit your treatment as much as possible.
Regular Check-Ups and Adjustments
During your treatment, you will need to come in for check-up visits, which are pre-scheduled. We use these visits to see how you are doing, make changes when needed, and give you a new set of aligners.
Monitoring Progress and Aligner Changes
We will monitor your tooth movement to ensure treatment is going as planned. In order to maintain treatment objectives, regular adjustments and changes to your aligners may be required.
While we’ve answered a few frequently asked questions below, every smile is unique. If you’d like tailored advice or have something specific in mind, we invite you to book a complimentary consultation. We’ll take the time to understand your needs and guide you with care and expertise.
