While there are a few small distinctions, depending on the\northodontic problems that you\u2019d like to have fixed, one option may be better\nfor you than the other. Between Invisalign vs. ClearCorrect, here are some\ndifferences in the treatments that you can expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Clear Braces Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Invisalign and ClearCorrect use the same process to\ngently and strategically alter the alignment of your smile. Every couple of\nweeks, you will switch to a different series of trays that is one step closer to\nachieving a finished, straightened grin. Instead of having to constantly get\nthem tightened as you would with metal braces, your dentist provides you with\noral appliances that are clear, smooth, and made from an FDA-approved plastic\nto fix several problems such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Crossbite<\/li><li>Overbite<\/li><li>Underbite<\/li><li>Crowding <\/li><li>Crooked Teeth<\/li><li>Misalignment<\/li><li>Gaps Between Teeth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are The Aligners Made Differently?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For ClearCorrect, all the aligners are crafted in Texas.\nYour dentist will take multiple images of your mouth and an impression of your\nteeth to craft your custom trays. You\u2019ll need to wear them for 22 hours a day\nto get the results you\u2019d like to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Invisalign, your dentist will use scans along with\nX-rays to create a model of your mouth. This will be sent to a location outside\nthe U.S, where all Invisalign aligners are made. You\u2019ll also need to wear your\nInvisalign trays for 22 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do the Treatment Plans Differ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between the two is that Invisalign uses\na customized treatment plan. That means that you won\u2019t know the cost until\nafter your initial consultation because you won\u2019t know how long you\u2019ll need to\nwear your aligners for. Typically, patients wear anywhere from 20 to 30 sets of\ntrays throughout the process. Because Invisalign doesn\u2019t use a default plan,\nthis means you\u2019ll need to visit your cosmetic dentist more often than if you\nget ClearCorrect.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ClearCorrect offers three standard treatment plans depending\non what orthodontic issues you need to fix. This means that they have a set\ncost, so you\u2019ll know what you\u2019re getting yourself into from the get-go. The\nthree plans include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Unlimited Aligners. <\/strong>With this plan, your\ncosmetic dentist will use however many aligners are necessary to make sure that\nyou achieve the results you\u2019re looking for. <\/li><li><strong>Limited 12. <\/strong>Your cosmetic dentist\nprescribes 12 aligners total to straighten your teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Limited 6. <\/strong>This plan uses six aligners\ntotal and is great if you had braces before and need small adjustments made.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Know Which Option is Right For You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to learn whether Invisalign or ClearCorrect is\nthe best option for you is to schedule a consultation with your cosmetic\ndentist. During this visit, you\u2019ll be able to discuss what transformations\nyou\u2019d like to see. They\u2019ll also assess the severity of your orthodontic\nproblems. Based on your budget and other factors that are important to you like\neasy maintenance and treatment time, your dentist can point you towards the\nbest alternative to braces for your unique needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Andrew Luccio is passionate about continuing his\neducation as well as pursuing advanced training so he can provide his patients\nwith the latest techniques that dentistry has to offer.
