Clear Correct

ClearCorrect treatment allows patients a discrete transition from misaligned teeth to a straightened smile. They involve minimal components. Most of the time only the trays are needed, for some people the trays may have a few buttons for the trays to attach to. Brackets and dental cement that are used with braces have been known to leave noticeable decalcification spots when removed from the teeth. The cement can stick to the teeth after the braces are removed. This residue has to be removed later by a dentist if not fully removed by the orthodontist. ClearCorrect trays are fully removable and require no adhesives to attach to the teeth.

People who wear braces are advised to avoid gum, sticky foods like caramel, hard foods like apples, and anything that can get stuck in the brackets or damage their braces from biting down on. ClearCorrect trays don't have such dietary restrictions. You can remove the tray before eating and put it back on right after. ClearCorrect trays can be left on if you are drinking water and clear, sugar-free, non-acidic liquids. The tray should be removed if you will be drinking anything other than water or clear fluids, to avoid staining and plaque buildup. Trays may have tiny nodes called buttons, and rubber bands are secured to these buttons. Another unique variant of ClearCorrect is attachments. They are bonded directly to the tooth, trays click onto the attachments, and allow more complex movements.
