ClearCorrect Braces Ladera Ranch, CA
Clear dental aligners can help patients straighten their smiles while correcting other dental conditions discreetly and comfortably. This treatment is a popular alternative to traditional braces. ClearCorrect® braces are a nearly invisible orthodontic treatment that uses sets of aligners to correct misaligned teeth.
ClearCorrect braces are available at Synergy Dental Group of OC in Ladera Ranch and the surrounding area. We use this treatment to help patients who want to straighten their smiles but prefer not to have metal braces. Many patients may consider this option because it is both effective and almost invisible.
Orthodontic malocclusions are more than just aesthetic issues; they can harm your oral health. Correcting them subtly with ClearCorrect braces may be a great option for you. Contact us at (949) 600-4466 to schedule an appointment and learn more.
Candidates for ClearCorrect Braces
According to WebMD, many adults and teens are excellent candidates for invisible aligners like ClearCorrect braces. Children are typically not as suitable for the treatment because their mouths are still growing. Teeth that are in the earlier stages of development make the process of creating the aligner much more complex, reducing the likelihood of having positive final results.
Additionally, the candidates who achieve more successful results usually have mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues. Patients who have severe crowding, underbites, overbites, or crossbites may need more aggressive treatment. In these cases, we may recommend another treatment followed by ClearCorrect braces.
“According to WebMD, invisible aligners like ClearCorrect braces are an option for many adults and teens.”
The Process of Receiving and Making ClearCorrect Aligners
Our team takes impressions of the teeth, as well as imaging studies, pictures, and any other necessary documentation. This information goes to a dental lab, which uses it to make a precise model of the teeth. Then, our team uses this model to demonstrate how ClearCorrect aligners can reposition them. It is important to note that specific goals depend both on patient preferences and what is realistically possible. The patient and our dentist decide on treatment goals and formulate a plan.
After making a decision, the lab then creates the first set of aligners. The next set is based on updated information to provide a high level of precision and customization. Most patients need four sets of aligners, each worn for about three weeks, to complete treatment. Depending on their particular situation, some patients may need additional steps.
“A custom set of aligners is created for each patient, and patients will use several sets during treatment.”
The Benefits of ClearCorrect Braces
There are many great reasons to choose ClearCorrect braces. Synergy Dental Group of OC recommends them to patients in need of teeth straightening who are appropriate candidates and who want to enjoy a more discreet treatment option. These are a few benefits of these aligners:
- Subtle: ClearCorrect braces are a subtle alternative to traditional braces. They consist of crack- and stain-resistant, clear plastic, rendering them almost completely invisible when in place.
- Effective: Treatments like ClearCorrect braces are typically effective at realigning teeth. They are most effective when the patient carefully follows the dentist’s instructions. It may also be necessary to wear a retainer after treatment to ensure the permanence of the results.
- Boost Confidence: Changing one’s smile can change the way they live. Many people suffer from low self-esteem related to crooked teeth. ClearCorrect braces can be an effective way to overcome insecurities based on orthodontic issues.
- Support Oral Health: Misaligned teeth can be harmful to oral health. Patients with misaligned teeth are more likely to have dental problems and a strained mandible area. For many patients, correcting misalignments with ClearCorrect braces may lead to a healthier mouth.
- Removable: Although patients should keep their ClearCorrect braces in as instructed, they are removable. You may remove the trays when eating or drinking certain fluids for extra comfort, making dental hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces.

Caring for ClearCorrect Aligners
Taking proper care of ClearCorrect Aligners is a crucial part of keeping the appliance clean and minimally visible. Patients should clean their ClearCorrect aligners with non-abrasive toothpaste or with soap. Avoid using hot water, as it can deform the material.
Also, avoid harsh cleaners such as alcohol or bleach, as they tend to be damaging. We recommend patients take the aligners out before eating or drinking. Additionally, avoid hot foods and any drinks besides water. When eating, patients should always remove their aligners to avoid damaging or staining them.

The Impact of ClearCorrect Aligners
ClearCorrect aligners shift teeth gradually, repositioning teeth without drastically altering the patient's lifestyle. This orthodontic system is less noticeable and invasive than other traditional orthodontic methods. Patients can benefit from the minimal impact on their everyday routines. These clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a great option for people who want straight teeth without the hassle and distraction of visible metal braces.
The flexibility of the ClearCorrect system makes eating and dental hygiene more convenient as patients can easily remove their devices temporarily. While ClearCorrect aligners are aesthetically pleasing and convenient, patients must make sure that they are wearing the appliance for the prescribed amount of time each day.
