Clear Teeth Aligners and What They Can Do for Your Smile
Clear teeth aligners can change more than just the look of your smile. You’re more inclined to be socially active when you have a smile you love. And a confident smile can even change your career. If you want to straighten crooked teeth, Dr. Amy Farmer at Crossroads Dental in Longmont, Colorado, has a solution you’ll be excited about: ClearCorrect clear aligners.Â
What Are ClearCorrect Aligners?
ClearCorrect aligners use a series of clear, removable trays custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth. Made of a thermoplastic material, removable ClearCorrect aligners are nearly invisible. This means you can straighten crooked teeth without the discomfort and unsightly appearance of past solutions.
What Dental Issues Can ClearCorrect Address?
With ClearCorrect aligners, you can address any of these orthodontic issues:
- Gaps between your teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Overcrowded teeth
- Bite problems: overbite, underbite, open bite, and crossbite
- Moderate or mild tooth rotation
- Relapsed after previous orthodontic treatment

How Does ClearCorrect Teeth Straightening Work?
Your ClearCorrect process starts with a consultation. Dr. Farmer will examine your bite and teeth to see if you’re a good candidate for this orthodontic method. If so, she’ll take digital scans and map out your treatment plan. Before you leave our office, you’ll be able to see a preview of what your finished smile will look like.Â
When your custom aligners are ready, you’ll return to the office to pick them up and learn how to care for them. Dr. Farmer gives you a new set of ClearCorrect aligners every couple of weeks.
How Are ClearCorrect Aligners Different from Traditional Braces?
While traditional metal braces are made with brackets and wires, clear teeth aligners are made with a smooth thermoplastic material. In terms of how they work, clear aligners do the same thing braces do: They use gentle but consistent force to move your teeth to straighter positions.
What Are the Benefits of Choosing ClearCorrect over Other Orthodontic Options?
The primary benefit of ClearCorrect aligners over old-school metal braces is the comfort. Because there’s no metal involved with clear aligners, you don’t have to worry about the irritation that comes with traditional braces.Â
With ClearCorrect aligners, you only have to go to the dentist’s office every couple of weeks to pick up your new aligners, so there are much fewer visits to the dentist.Â
Another huge benefit of clear aligners is that they’re removable. If you have ever had metal braces, you know you had to change your eating habits. With clear aligners, you can enjoy all of your favorite foods. Being removable also means you can take better care of your oral hygiene.Â
How Long Does ClearCorrect Treatment Typically Take?
Your timeline will vary depending on your unique situation. A complex case will take longer, but some people have their new smiles within six months. The process rarely takes longer than 18 months.Â
