ClearCorrect offers in-office or at-home treatment with your own dentist or orthodontist. The service's in-office treatment is similar to Invisalign’s. Your dentist scans or takes a mold of your mouth; aligners are then designed, fabricated, and sent to your dentist’s office.

With ClearCorrect Now, the company’s at-home treatment, the process is the same, but you take your own impressions, and the aligners are shipped directly to you—all under the supervision of your own dentist. Your dentist also then monitors your treatment remotely. However, if you need aligner attachments, your only option is an in-office treatment.

ClearCorrect aligners cover the gum line to minimize the need for attachments. In contrast, Invisalign aligners are trimmed to follow the scalloped shape of your gum line for a more natural appearance.

The estimated treatment time for ClearCorrect is conspicuously missing from its website, likely because it depends on the treatment plan your dentist creates. For example, some dental offices estimate treatment will take eight to 14 months, while others estimate one to two years, depending on the case. Regardless, be prepared to wear your aligners 22 hours per day.

Patient reviews for ClearCorrect are in short supply. The company website directs site visitors to its Instagram page, which has very few posts featuring patient comments. However, at least one of them was highly negative with no discernible company response. Other review sites show mixed, uncertain reviews on results, with several people complaining that the aligners are not the most comfortable and that their edges can irritate your gums.

Your dentist or orthodontist provides ClearCorrect, which means that pricing varies by provider. Average costs are hard to pin down but appear to range from about $2,000 to $5,000. However, the company does provide payment options, depending on where you live and how many aligners your treatment plan will require, which could reduce your overall cost.

ClearCorrect is not recommended for patients with short teeth, multiple missing teeth, dental implants and bridges, gum disease, and other difficult or complex oral issues.
