Questions and Answers

Question: When you say ClearCorrect braces, does that mean I’m going to be wearing the metal braces (including brackets and metal wires) that make up conventional braces?

Answer: No! You will not have brackets on your teeth or wires to shift your teeth. Instead, you will wear aligners. To be specific, these trays are clear aligner trays that can move teeth according to a personalized plan that will beautifully align them.

Question: So, how does this work if there aren’t any wires pulling my teeth?

Answer: ClearCorrect braces work on a system that relies on a gradual process. You will begin with one set of trays. Then, you will move onto the next. Then, the next. Each set is customized to provide the necessary movement toward alignment.

Question: Is this a safe and effective orthodontic treatment?

Answer: Yes! Fortunately, the trays rely on special technology that guides your teeth where they belong with the force of the tray design. They are FDA approved and are free of “bad” plastic ingredients like BPA and phthalates.
