Yes, many dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage will contribute to the cost of ClearCorrect, just as they would for traditional braces. Our front desk team at Access Dental Care will gladly help you verify your insurance benefits and maximize your coverage to minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

Both ClearCorrect and Invisalign are highly effective, FDA-approved clear aligner systems used to straighten teeth discreetly. The primary difference lies in the proprietary plastic materials used and the manufacturing process. ClearCorrect aligners are known for being exceptionally thin, clear, and stain-resistant. Furthermore, many patients find that ClearCorrect offers a more budget-friendly price point while delivering identical, high-quality clinical results.

ClearCorrect is an excellent orthodontic solution for both teens and adults. You are likely a great candidate if you suffer from mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, unwanted spacing, overbites, underbites, or crossbites. During your digital assessment at our Laurel office, our team will evaluate your bite to confirm if clear aligners are the right treatment for your specific needs.

For optimal results and to keep your treatment on schedule, you must wear your ClearCorrect aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. You should only remove them to eat, drink anything other than cool water, brush, and floss.

While every smile is unique, the average ClearCorrect treatment time at Access Dental Care takes between 12 and 18 months. Patients with very minor spacing or crowding issues may complete their treatment in just a few months, while more complex bite corrections may take slightly longer. You will visit our office periodically so we can monitor your progress and provide your next set of aligners.

ClearCorrect is significantly more comfortable than traditional metal braces because there are no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and gums. You may experience temporary, mild pressure or soreness for the first day or two after switching to a new set of aligners. This pressure is completely normal and is a sign that the aligners are successfully shifting your teeth.

Yes! Because ClearCorrect aligners are 100% removable, there are absolutely no dietary restrictions. You can continue to eat all of your favorite foods, including apples, popcorn, and sticky treats. Just remember to remove your aligners before meals and brush your teeth before putting them back in to prevent trapped food and bacteria.

Cleaning your aligners is simple. Brush them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a clear, mild antibacterial soap or specialized aligner cleaner. Never use hot water to rinse or soak your aligners, as high temperatures can permanently warp the plastic and disrupt your treatment progress.
