ClearCorrect® – Fair Oaks, CA

How ClearCorrect® Works

Instead of guiding your teeth into proper alignment with metal brackets and wires, ClearCorrect® achieves the same outcome with clear, custom-made trays. Each one is designed to fit you perfectly and apply just the right amount of pressure to move your teeth a step closer to their ideal positions. Then, the process begins again when you transition to the next set in the series. Since the aligners are basically invisible, you’ll have an unobstructed view of the progress along the way too!

Who ClearCorrect® Can Help

Good news: ClearCorrect® has helped patients with crooked teeth, noticeable gaps, and just about everything in between! So, if you are interested in straightening your teeth with clear aligners, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us; there’s a good chance that you’re a candidate. You can also read on to learn about the common orthodontic problems this discreet orthodontic treatment can correct.

Crowded Teeth

There was once a time when overcrowding could only be addressed with metal braces. That’s no longer the case! ClearCorrect® can move your teeth into their properly aligned positions discreetly and comfortably. Plus, the average treatment timeline is only 12-18 months.

Gaps Between Teeth

If you have a considerable gap between your two front teeth or several smaller spaces throughout your smile, there’s a good chance that ClearCorrect® is an option. If we determine that you’re a candidate, then we will have a custom series of aligners made to gently and gradually close the gaps.

Bite Alignment

Do your upper teeth jut out considerably? Maybe you have the opposite problem: your lower teeth sit in front of your upper ones. Rest assured, ClearCorrect® may be an option. The best way to find out is by scheduling a consultation with us so we can assess the severity of your case.

The Benefits of ClearCorrect®

ClearCorrect® uses a series of see-through plastic aligner trays that gradually and discreetly bring your teeth into perfect alignment. Once these aligners are on your teeth, most of the people around you shouldn’t even be able to notice. Not only that, but the aligners are also removable, so you won’t have to deal with any restrictions in terms of what you eat and how you clean your teeth. Plus, ClearCorrect® has a much faster average treatment time than metal braces (about 12-18 months!).

Understanding the Cost of ClearCorrect

ClearCorrect aligners are clear trays that fit over your teeth to gradually improve their alignment, much like traditional braces can. But unlike traditional braces, treatment with ClearCorrect is often much faster and more discreet. If you’re interested in learning more about ClearCorrect to determine if it’s a good value for you or your family, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly office team, or schedule a consultation for more customized information.

Factors that Affect the Cost of ClearCorrect 

The cost of ClearCorrect can vary from patient to patient based on several important factors, including:

• Whether you’re straightening one arch or both. Typically, it is best to straighten both at the same time; however, there are exceptions.
• The overall complexity of the tooth movements necessary (for example, if you are only correcting a minor gap, you will likely pay less than someone with severely crooked teeth).
• The proposed length of your treatment (the longer your treatment, the more aligners you will need, and the higher your cost will be).
• Your compliance with treatment, such as wearing the aligners as prescribed to finish treatment on schedule.

ClearCorrect vs. Mail-In Aligners: Which Costs More?

If all you’re searching for is a “quick fix” at a low cost, mail in aligners are the “clear” winner. However, it’s important to remember that mail-in aligners are typically very “do-it-yourself” and have almost no professional oversight. This means that not only can a lot go wrong during treatment, but you also may not realize there’s a problem until it’s too late. At that point, you’d need to see a professional, adding even more to your total cost and wiping out any “savings” over ClearCorrect.

With ClearCorrect, you have the benefit of oversight by Dr. Rivera every step of the way, as well as professionally made, highly accurate impressions, and a smoother, more effective treatment process overall. If peace of mind is important, the cost of ClearCorrect is well worth it.

Does Dental Insurance Cover ClearCorrect?4

Only some dental insurance plans provide coverage for orthodontic treatment, and ClearCorrect is typically left out of this, but not always. Therefore, it is a good idea to check with your dental insurance provider to verify your benefits. Our office team is happy to assist you with this if you need help.

You can also use your FSA account to help cover the cost.
