How ClearCorrect Works
The journey to your perfect smile
Design Your Plan
We take detailed X-rays and 3D scans of your teeth. Using advanced computer technology, we design your complete treatment plan showing exactly how your teeth will move at each stage.
Create Custom Trays
Your aligners are custom-made from durable, clear plastic specifically designed for your teeth and treatment plan. Each set of trays is uniquely engineered for your smile.
Change Trays Regularly
You wear each set of trays for about 2 weeks before changing to the next set. Each successive tray makes small adjustments that gradually straighten your teeth.
Final Check by Dr. Kaur
After completing all tray sequences, Dr. Kaur performs a final check to ensure your teeth have achieved the desired alignment and bite correction.
Why Choose ClearCorrect?
The advantages of clear aligner treatment
Nearly Invisible
ClearCorrect aligners are transparent and barely noticeable. Most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth.
Removable and Convenient
You can remove the aligners to eat, drink, and brush your teeth. No dietary restrictions like with braces.
Comfortable Design
The smooth plastic aligners are comfortable to wear. No brackets, wires, or sharp edges that can irritate your mouth.
Customized Treatment
Your aligners are specifically designed for your teeth using advanced 3D technology for predictable, effective results.
Predictable Results
Before starting treatment, you'll see a digital preview of your final results. You know exactly what to expect.
Better Oral Hygiene
You can remove aligners to brush and floss normally, making it easier to maintain excellent oral health during treatment.
Who Can Benefit from ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect works for virtually all orthodontic patients, regardless of age. Whether you have a small spacing issue or significant misalignment, ClearCorrect can address it:
- Crowded Teeth: Aligners gradually create space and align crowded teeth
- Spacing Issues: Closes gaps between teeth for a more uniform smile
- Overbite: Corrects teeth that overlap when the mouth is closed
- Underbite: Realigns the lower jaw so lower teeth don't protrude
- Crossbite: Corrects misalignment of upper and lower jaw
- Open Bite: Closes gaps between teeth when the mouth is closed
- Relapse After Braces: Addresses teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
During your consultation, Dr. Kaur will evaluate your teeth and determine if ClearCorrect is the right option for you.
More Than Just Cosmetics
Straightening your teeth improves your overall health
Better Brushing and Flossing
Crowded or misaligned teeth are difficult to clean properly. Straightened teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing plaque buildup and cavity risk.
Reduced Gum Disease Risk
Properly aligned teeth support healthier gums. Better alignment means better circulation and less chance of periodontal disease.
Improved Bite Function
Correct bite alignment distributes chewing forces evenly, reducing wear on teeth and jaw joint strain.
Sleep Apnea and Snoring Help
In some cases, repositioning the teeth and jaw with aligners can help reduce snoring and sleep apnea by improving airway positioning.
Treatment Timeline
The length of your ClearCorrect treatment depends on the complexity of your case, but most patients see results within 6-18 months. Some simpler cases can be completed in just a few months.
What to Expect

Daily Aligner Use
For best results, wear your aligners at least 20-22 hours per day. You can remove them for:
- Eating meals
- Drinking (except water)
- Brushing and flossing your teeth
- Important social or professional events (though most people choose to keep them in)
Caring for Your Aligners
- Keep them in a protective case when not wearing them
- Rinse them with water daily
- Clean with a soft toothbrush (never use hot water)
- Never leave them in direct sunlight
- Avoid putting them in hot water or the dishwasher
Retainers: Maintaining Your Results
After completing your ClearCorrect treatment, retainers are essential to keep your teeth in their new position. Your teeth naturally want to shift back to their original position over time.
Retainer Options
- Fixed Retainer: A thin wire bonded to the back of your teeth for permanent retention
- Removable Retainer: Similar to your aligners, worn at night to maintain alignment
- Combination: Many patients use both fixed and removable retainers for optimal results
Proper retainer use ensures your beautiful, straight smile lasts a lifetime.
