How does ClearCorrect work?
Your smile is unique. That’s why our ClearCorrect treatment is customized to your needs, giving you the beautiful smile you deserve. The procedure starts with a consultation with the dentist. We examine your teeth and bite to ensure you are a good candidate for the treatment. Potential candidates must be in good oral health and comply with wearing the aligners as directed by the dentist.
After the initial consultation, we’ll digitally scan your teeth and simulate your treatment, predicting when and how each tooth will move to perfection. Ultimately, you’ll see your transformed smile even before the actual treatment starts!
If you are happy with the treatment, we’ll send your digital records to our dental lab to custom-make your aligners. Once we receive your teeth straighteners, you’ll come to pick them up from our office. Although removable, ClearCorrect aligners must be worn at least 20-22 hours daily. Take them out only when eating or cleaning your teeth. Every two weeks, switch to the next set in line. ClearCorrect moves your teeth gradually with each aligner, each day bringing your teeth closer to perfection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Correct Invisible Braces
Who may be a good candidate for ClearCorrect invisible braces?
ClearCorrect may suit teens and adults who want to address crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, or certain bite concerns without fixed metal brackets. However, clear aligners do not fit every orthodontic situation. Dr. Amy Farmer evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw relationships at Crossroads Dental in Longmont, Colorado, before recommending treatment. Healthy teeth and gums also create a stronger foundation for safe, predictable tooth movement.
How many hours each day should I wear my aligners?
Most patients need to wear ClearCorrect aligners for about 22 hours daily, removing them only for meals, most beverages, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear helps each tray guide your teeth in line with the treatment plan. Leaving aligners out too long may slow progress or make the next set feel unusually tight. Dr. Farmer will give you a personalized schedule and explain when to change trays.
Can I eat and drink while wearing ClearCorrect trays?
Remove your aligners before eating, whether you plan to enjoy crunchy vegetables, a sandwich, or a full dinner. You should also remove them for drinks other than plain, cool water. Hot liquids may affect the trays, while colored or sugary beverages can stain the material or trap sugar against your teeth. Brush or rinse before replacing the aligners to keep your smile and trays fresh.
What is the best way to clean ClearCorrect aligners?
Rinse your aligners whenever you remove them and clean them gently each day with cool or lukewarm water and the method Dr. Farmer recommends. Avoid hot water because heat may distort the trays. A separate soft toothbrush can help remove buildup, but abrasive toothpaste may scratch the clear surface. Always store aligners in their case rather than wrapping them in a napkin, where they can disappear quickly.
Will ClearCorrect treatment feel uncomfortable?
You might feel some pressure or slight tenderness when you start treatment or change to a new set of aligners. That sensation often signals that the trays are actively guiding your teeth. Most patients adjust within a few days. Smooth aligner edges usually reduce irritation, but a rough spot or persistent pain deserves attention. Contact Crossroads Dental so Dr. Amy Farmer can check the fit and protect your comfort.
Will invisible braces affect the way I speak?
Some patients develop a slight lisp when they first begin wearing clear aligners because their tongues need time to adapt to the trays. Reading aloud, talking regularly, and continuing to wear the aligners as directed can speed the adjustment. Speech usually returns to normal as your mouth becomes accustomed to them. A lasting change in speech may indicate a significant concern that Dr. Farmer should evaluate.
Why might I need attachments or additional aligners?
Small, tooth-colored attachments can give ClearCorrect trays extra grip for specific tooth movements. They may look like tiny bumps and usually remain much less noticeable than metal brackets. After the initial series, Dr. Farmer may recommend refinement aligners if certain teeth need additional guidance. Refinements do not mean treatment failed. They allow the plan to respond to how your teeth actually moved.
Will I need a retainer after ClearCorrect treatment?
Yes. Teeth naturally tend to shift after orthodontic treatment, so a retainer helps protect your new alignment. Your wearing schedule may begin with full-time use and later transition to nighttime wear, depending on Dr. Farmer’s instructions. Clean and store the retainer carefully, and bring it to follow-up visits when requested. Long-term retainer use helps preserve the time, effort, and progress invested in your smile.
