Have you ever heard of clear braces? What are clear braces? Simply put, this is an orthodontic system that doesn’t need metal brackets and wires to correct misalignment. For many patients, this is a preferable option for addressing uneven teeth. If you are interested in receiving orthodontic treatment that is practically invisible to the naked eye, then consider the unique ClearCorrect system.

Answer Key
- True. Made from BPA-free plastic, the aligners are comfortable and gradually reposition the teeth over the treatment period. About every two weeks, the patient will receive a new set to further improve the alignment of the teeth.
- True. For adults, treatment typically takes about year. This is significantly less than the year and a half to two years required for traditional braces. Teen patients may require up to 18 months to ensure optimal results. The exact treatment period will depend on a number of factors, including the cause and extent of your misalignment.

You can enjoy improved comfort and oral health with the innovative ClearCorrect system.
