ClearCorrect® aligners are an orthodontic treatment option that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth and correct a variety of dental issues. These aligners are custom-made for each patient, based on a digital 3D scan of their teeth. Each aligner is designed to gradually shift the teeth into their ideal positions, and patients typically wear each set of aligners for a period of two to three weeks before switching to the next set in the series.
our team evaluates every clear aligner candidate with a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and 3D scan before recommending treatment. ClearCorrect is ideal for patients who want an affordable clear aligner option with the same precision fit as premium brands — using a step-by-step digital plan that shows your projected result before you start.

While traditional metal braces are still a highly effective method for straightening teeth and treating misaligned jaws, many people find them noticeable and uncomfortable to wear. The wires, brackets, and rubber bands of traditional braces can negatively impact a person’s appearance and confidence, especially those with busy or professional lifestyles.
At Finch Midland Dental, we understand the inconvenience of having to drastically change your diet or skip out on your favorite foods when wearing braces due to food getting stuck in the brackets. We offer alternative treatments that can straighten your teeth without these restrictions. This can make the process of getting braces less frustrating and more convenient, ultimately leading to better oral health.
ClearCorrect® offers a more convenient and discreet option for teeth straightening compared to traditional braces. Patients can easily remove the aligners themselves while eating, which allows for more freedom in food choices and eliminates the embarrassment of having food stuck in the brackets. ClearCorrect® aligners are also comfortable to wear, leaving patients with more confidence to go about their daily activities.
One of the most significant advantages of ClearCorrect® over traditional braces is the ability to remove the aligners during sports or other physical activities. For athletes, wearing a mouthguard is essential for protecting the teeth, but traditional braces can make it difficult to wear one. With ClearCorrect®, patients can remove the aligners to wear a mouthguard comfortably. This makes it easier for patients to continue to participate in sports and other activities while undergoing orthodontic treatment.
ClearCorrect offers a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces:
Clear, transparent aligners are virtually undetectable — straighten your teeth without anyone knowing you're in treatment.
Unlike braces, ClearCorrect aligners are removed for eating and drinking — no food restrictions throughout your treatment.
Smooth plastic aligners eliminate the discomfort of metal brackets and wires that can irritate cheeks and gums.
Remove your aligners to brush and floss normally — maintaining better oral health during orthodontic treatment than with traditional braces.
Continue playing sports with confidence — aligners can be removed and replaced with a protective mouthguard during athletic activities.
While wearing clear aligners, brief periods of discomfort may occur when new aligners are put on. Expect changes in your ‘bite,’ a lisp at first, and engagers (“buttons”) to assist the aligner in moving teeth.
Some tenderness or sensitivity may occur during the first few days of wearing a new aligner, but the more you wear the aligner, the more comfortable it becomes. Sores and irritation are possible but rare. ClearCorrect® aligners are among the most comfortable in the industry.
The aligners are fairly simple to keep clean, but proper oral hygiene is essential. Most aligners can be cleaned with a toothbrush, cool water, and non-abrasive toothpaste. Cleaning instructions are on every bag of new aligners.
Engagers (bumps) may be temporarily affixed to teeth depending on the treatment. They assist with difficult tooth movements and can be easily removed.
Treatment time varies based on treatment goals, and the amount of correction needed. Treatment time can exceed estimates due to factors such as poor compliance, missing appointments, and poor oral hygiene.
It is recommended to wear the aligners for 22 hours a day. They should only be removed for meals, brushing and flossing.
While treatment aligners have a determined wear period, retainers may need to be worn for an extended period based on the treatment result.
ClearCorrect® aligners are made of a plastic specially formulated for ClearCorrect. It is a polyurethane resin that is superior in stress retention, impact resistance, clarity, and stain resistance. It has also been tested for biocompatibility.
No. ClearCorrect® aligners are made without BPA or phthalates and have been approved by the FDA.

Patients often ask these questions before starting treatment.
"How is ClearCorrect different from Invisalign?"
Both use clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. ClearCorrect is often more affordable while delivering comparable results for mild to moderate cases. The material, fit process, and treatment planning are very similar. our team will recommend whichever system best fits your case complexity and budget.
"Will ClearCorrect affect my speech?"
Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first 1–2 days with a new set of aligners. This resolves quickly as your tongue adjusts to the trays. Most patients report normal speech within a few days of starting treatment.
"Does insurance cover ClearCorrect?"
Many dental plans with orthodontic benefits cover ClearCorrect the same way they cover braces. We verify your orthodontic benefits before your consultation so you know your coverage upfront. Flexible payment plans are available for any remaining balance.
Clear aligner treatment is safe and effective, but informed patients make better decisions.
