ClearCorrect In Fort Worth: A Step-By-Step Guide To Straighter Teeth

If you’ve been considering orthodontics but don’t want brackets and wires, clear aligners can be a discreet, comfortable way to correct crowding, spacing, and mild bite issues. ClearCorrect offers thin, nearly invisible trays designed to fit your lifestyle—so you can smile during treatment, not just after it.

How ClearCorrect Works

ClearCorrect uses a series of custom aligners that apply gentle, targeted forces to shift teeth in small steps. You’ll wear each set for the recommended number of hours per day, then switch to the next set every one to two weeks. As the trays progress, so does your smile—steadily and predictably.

Your First Visit: Smile Goals And Digital Scans

We’ll discuss what you’d like to change, take digital scans or impressions, and capture photos to plan tooth movement virtually. You’ll see a preview of your expected results and the number of aligners needed. Because planning is digital, treatment can be efficient and highly personalized.

Daily Life With Aligners

  • Wear time: Aim for 20–22 hours daily for best results.
  • Meals and drinks: Remove aligners for eating and for any beverage besides water.
  • Cleaning: Rinse trays with cool water, brush gently, and avoid hot temperatures that can warp the plastic.
  • Check-ins: You’ll have periodic visits to monitor progress and receive your next sets.

What ClearCorrect Can Fix

  • Mild to moderate crowding or spacing
  • Rotations of specific teeth
  • Small overbites, underbites, or crossbites
  • Post-braces relapse

Attachments, IPR, And Elastics—What Are They?

To achieve precise movements, small tooth-colored “attachments” may be placed on certain teeth to give aligners more grip. Interproximal reduction (IPR) can create tiny amounts of space between crowded teeth by polishing enamel—painless and conservative. In select cases, elastics help fine-tune your bite.

Treatment Timeline And Comfort

Most adult cases take several months to a year. Because forces are light and distributed, aligners are generally comfortable, though you may feel pressure for a day or two with each new set—proof they’re working. If an aligner rubs your cheek, a quick polish at the office or a dab of orthodontic wax usually solves it.

Keeping Your Results: Retainers Matter

After the last tray, you’ll receive clear retainers to hold teeth in their new positions while bone and ligaments stabilize. Wearing retainers nightly is a small, long-term habit that protects all your hard work.

ClearCorrect Vs. Traditional Braces

  • Looks: Nearly invisible vs. visible brackets
  • Lifestyle: Removable vs. fixed
  • Hygiene: Brush and floss normally vs. navigating around wires
  • Control: Digital planning vs. manual adjustments

Who’s A Good Candidate?

Teens and adults motivated to wear trays consistently. If your bite is complex, we’ll discuss whether a hybrid approach or another option better suits your goals.
