“ClearCorrect was founded by doctors, and we continue to work closely with clinicians all over the world to make an excellent clear aligner experience from start to finish. Whether it’s our internal clinicians, our close partners, or even your very own dentist, each of them is essential to the ClearCorrect process, and we work as a team with each of them to put your treatment at the center of it all.”
What You Should Know
Your records — including digital scans, photographs and radiographs, along with a prescription for your custom-made aligners — are sent by Dr. Campbell to the Clear Correct laboratory, where an exact 3-D model of your teeth is created. Your treatment team then maps out a complete treatment plan showing the gradual realignment that will reposition your teeth from their current position to where your dentist wants them to be.
The “treatment set-up,” a computerized representation of your teeth before and after treatment, is available for viewing after treatment planning. Using the most up-to-date digital mapping and molding technology, custom aligners then are created with computer precision.

How much does Clear Aligner Therapy cost?
The cost to patients is generally comparable to other orthodontic options, ranging from around $4,000 to $6,000 USD, depending on the complexity of treatment
Do the aligners guarantee perfect results?
Most patients do experience significant improvement in their smiles, but it’s impossible to guarantee the outcome of any orthodontic treatment. Your results may vary.
Can I pay with an FSA or HSA?
Generally, yes. Funds from flex spending accounts and health savings accounts can be applied to orthodontic appliances like clear aligners.
Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?
To prevent relapse, we usually prescribe a retainer after any orthodontic treatment.
How long does treatment take?
This varies from patient to patient. Treatment can take anywhere from a few months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the case.
How visible are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are completely transparent, which makes them much more discreet than metal braces. People usually don’t notice them. They’re not magic, however—you can see them at close range if you know what to look for.
Do I have to pay for everything up front?
We do offer monthly payment plans to help fit your budget in certain cases.
How often should I wear aligners?
Depending on the case, you will usually wear your aligners one to two weeks per step, at least 22 hours per day. Take them out to eat and brush your teeth.
Is Clear Aligner Therapy covered by dental insurance?
Many dental plans do include coverage for orthodontic appliances such as clear aligners. If you meet your insurance company’s eligibility requirements, they may cover a portion of the total treatment cost up to a lifetime maximum, which is typically between $1,000 to $3,000 USD.
