What is ClearCorrect?
Looking for an alternative to metal braces? ClearCorrect is the clear and simple choice. No wires. No brackets. Just clear, convenient comfort—every reason to smile. With
ClearCorrect, your dentist or orthodontist can straighten your teeth using a series of clear, custom, removable aligners. Each aligner moves your teeth just a little bit at a time until you eventually get straight teeth.
Getting Started
You and Dr. Satwah will evaluate your teeth and talk about any problems or goals you have for your smile. Once you and Dr. Satwah establish ClearCorrect is the right treatment option for you, he will take impressions, photos, and x-rays of your teeth that ClearCorrect uses in manufacturing your custom aligners.
Your Custom Treatment Plan
Dr. Satwah sends your records—your impressions, photos, and x-rays—to ClearCorrect with a prescription for your custom aligners. ClearCorrect uses your records to create exact 3D models of your teeth. Then working with Dr. Satwah doctor every step of the way, and following the precise instructions provided on your prescription, ClearCorrect maps out a complete treatment plan of gradual adjustment that takes your teeth from where they are currently to where you and Dr. Satwah want them to end up. Once completed, we will be able to preview the projected results of your treatment in your "treatment set-up," a computer representation of your teeth before and after treatment.
Your Aligners are Computer-Crafted
When you and Dr. Satwah are satisfied with the projected results shown in your treatment set-up, the manufacturing process begins. Using the latest digital mapping and molding technology, ClearCorrect creates your custom aligners with computer precision. ClearCorrect then sends your aligners to Dr. Satwah for delivery to you.
Progress Wearing Your Aligners
You'll wear your aligners all the time, except while eating and drinking or during daily tooth care, such as brushing and flossing. Your ClearCorrect aligners are so clear they are barely noticeable so they won't have an impact on your day to day life. Aligner by aligner, you'll be able to see the difference as your teeth slowly adjust and align to your target smile. You'll visit your Dr. Satwah periodically for checkups to see how you're progressing until you eventually have the straight smile you've always wanted.
