How ClearCorrect Works

Instead of moving your teeth into their properly aligned positions with brackets and wires, ClearCorrect applies a gentle pressure with a series of custom-made trays. Each set will move your teeth incrementally closer to where they should be, and the following one will pick up from there. This process will repeat until your teeth are perfectly aligned.

Indications for ClearCorrect

Patients with all sorts of orthodontic problems have used ClearCorrect, including crowded teeth, spaced-out teeth, and overbites. Here’s a little more information on each:

Crowded Teeth

If there isn’t enough space in your mouth, your teeth will overlap, negatively impacting the look, health, and function of your smile. The good news is that the aligners can discreetly and gently move your teeth from where they are now to where they should be.

Gaps Between Teeth

Spaced-out teeth are another common orthodontic problem that can result in everything from low self-esteem to a high risk of gum disease. That’s why patients are encouraged to see if they are a candidate for ClearCorrect – the look and health of your smile can benefit from it!

Bite Alignment

If your upper and lower teeth don’t come together evenly, you can experience premature wear, chronic jaw pain, TMJ dysfunction, and several other problems. With the help of other orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands, ClearCorrect can correct overbites, crossbites, and the like.

Understanding the Cost of ClearCorrect

You might be surprised to hear that there isn’t a flat fee for ClearCorrect. The reason why is that every treatment plan is customized depending on factors like how complex the patient’s case is. Rest assured, we will provide you with an estimate of the cost at your consultation. Not only that, but we will go over the financial solutions we offer to make the price as affordable as possible as well! In the meantime, you can read on to learn more on the topic.

Factors That Affect the Cost of ClearCorrect

As we mentioned above, the cost of ClearCorrect is dependent on several factors. A few of those include:

  • If any preliminary treatments are needed
  • The severity of the patient’s case
  • How many aligners need to be made
  • If other orthodontic accessories are needed
  • The type of retainer needed for the retainment phase

At your consultation, we will provide you with an estimate of the cost with all of this information in mind. We will also answer any questions you have and review the financial solutions available so the cost isn’t the only thing standing between you and your best smile.

Are Mail-In Aligners Cheaper?

If you’ve seen commercials on TV or ads on social media for mail-in aligners, then you know that their marketing centers mainly around one thing: how cheap they are. That’s true: they are cheaper than ClearCorrect. Of course, they aren’t better. To cut costs, they usually bypass the initial exam, rely on DIY impressions, and don’t have a licensed dental professional overseeing the treatment plans. So, it’s not surprising that many patients end up experiencing problems, like worsened misalignment. In short, the upfront price of mail-in alternatives may be cheaper, but they certainly aren’t better.

Does Dental Insurance Cover ClearCorrect?

Our Los Angeles dental team is happy to be in-network with several providers as well, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of California, Delta Dental, Dental Benefits Providers, and United Concordia.
