The Clear Correct Process

Once you’ve completed your initial consultation with Dr. Anjomi, you’ll come into our office for your first appointment. We will take special images and impressions of your smile, which are used to create your Clear Correct aligners. Once your aligning trays are made, you will wear them daily for about 2 weeks before switching to the next aligners in the series. This gradual process leads to beautiful and lasting results. Throughout treatment, you’ll come in for routine visits with Dr. Anjomi to ensure that the process is going smoothly. Once your treatment is over, you’ll wear a retainer to protect your investment and maintain your straight results.

Candidates for Clear Correct

Because no two smiles are the same, the only way to know if Clear Correct is right for you with certainty is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Anjomi. She will carefully look over your smile, examining your crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth. She will also check your bite alignment and overall oral health. Once this checkup is complete, she can develop your personalized treatment plan, including her recommendation for Clear Correct. Patients who can typically benefit from Clear Correct are those who want a faster, more convenient, and affordable way to straighten teeth. This solution can usually straighten mild to moderate misalignment, but more severe bite problems like overbite or underbite may require traditional braces.

Benefits of Clear Correct

We offer Clear Correct in addition to other options like Invisalign because of these exceptional benefits:

Appearance: Clear Correct is made of thinner plastic compared to Invisalign, making your orthodontics even more discreet.
Comfort: The Clear Correct design is sleek and smooth for ultimate comfort while wearing them throughout the day.
Affordability: Typically, Clear Correct has a lower price tag compared to Invisalign, but this will differ on a case by case basis.
Convenience: Completely removeable, you can eat, speak, and go about your daily life without any hassle. Just make sure that you’re keeping your aligners clean when you take them in and out.

In it, we’re going to be covering important information, like the factors that impact the price and whether or not dental insurance providers typically cover a portion of it.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Clear Correct

Before we can provide you with a price estimate, we need to learn:

How severe your case of misalignment is
If any preliminary treatments are needed
How many aligners need to be made
The type of retainer you need

It’s important to note that additional costs can come up throughout your teeth-straightening journey. For example, if you fall off-track with your treatment plan, then you may need to pay for additional aligners. Rest assured, we will review exactly what to do (and what not to do) to prevent that from happening at your appointment.

Clear Correct vs. Mail-In Aligners: Which Costs More?

Mail-in aligners almost always are cheaper. Of course, that doesn’t mean they are better. Quite the opposite; patients who opt for inexpensive alternatives are often left with worsened misalignment and even loose teeth. That’s why it’s so important that you visit a licensed dental professional and choose a reliable, effective, and safe orthodontic treatment! It may require a higher upfront investment, but it will be well worth it.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Clear Correct?

If straightening your teeth and aligning your bite is considered “medically necessary,” then there is a chance that your provider will cover a portion of the cost. That said, there are lots of factors that need to be considered, including if you have a yearly deductible or if you’ve exceeded your annual maximum. The good news is that we accept nearly all insurance plans. So, we can help you understand and utilize your benefits!

Options for Making Clear Correct Affordable

At our office, dental insurance is just one way to save. We also offer periodic special offers, like a free orthodontic consultation, and welcome flexible financing. If you choose the latter, then you don’t have to pay for the entire cost of your Clear Correct treatment upfront. Instead, you can choose a payment plan that works for you and space out the cost over the course of several months. If you’d like more details, don’t hesitate to give us a call – we’d be happy to answer any questions you have!

Clear Correct FAQs

Can I Drink Coffee with Clear Correct?

Do you love starting your morning with a hot cup of coffee or reaching for an iced latte in the afternoon to fight the 2 PM slump? If so, we have good news: you don’t have to cut out coffee during your clear aligner treatment. You do, however, need to make sure that you remove them first – no exceptions. After all, hot temperatures can cause the trays to warp, and the dark color can leave behind stubborn stains, drawing unwanted attention to your smile in the process.

Tip: Drink your morning coffee with your breakfast since your aligners will already be out!

Is There Anything I Can’t Eat with Clear Correct?

Since the aligners are removable, there aren’t any dietary restrictions that come with Clear Correct. That said, it’s important that you are mindful of what you eat since some foods increase your risk of dental damage, like hard pretzels. The best thing to do is eat healthy, well-balanced meals that are filled with nutrient-dense foods the majority of the time, like seasonal fruits and vegetables, so your teeth and gums stay healthy during the teeth-straightening process.

Does Clear Correct Hurt?

Sometimes, patients are hesitant to commit to Clear Correct because they are worried the teeth-straightening process will hurt. If that’s the case for you, we have good news: clear aligner treatment isn’t painful, especially when compared to traditional braces. This is largely due to the fact that the trays are completely metal-free and are crafted from impressions of your teeth, which ensures they fit properly.

Important note: As your teeth begin to move into their properly aligned positions, mild soreness is to be expected. The good news is that it’s only temporary, and there are several measures you can take to keep discomfort at bay, like taking OTC pain medication as directed.

How Long Does Clear Correct Take?

The length of your treatment timeline with Clear Correct will depend on a few factors, including if any preliminary treatments are needed and the severity of your case. At your appointment at our Newton dental office, we will provide you with an estimate with this information in mind. We will also share habits to incorporate into your daily routine to help prevent lengthy delays, like wearing your aligners for a minimum of 20 hours.

What Happens After Clear Correct?

During your Clear Correct treatment, our goal is to move your teeth and bite into proper alignment. After your Clear Correct treatment, our goal is to keep them there. We accomplish this with a retainer, which will be custom-made just for you. At your final appointment, we will give you instructions on how often to wear it and how to take care of it so that it lasts too.
