ClearCorrect™
Have you ever wished you could straighten your teeth, but you didn't want to wear braces? Our Lawrenceville cosmetic dentists are proud to offer ClearCorrect™ to the Central New Jersey area. ClearCorrect™ is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without wires and brackets.
With ClearCorrect™, you can straighten your teeth with clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to others.
How it Works
ClearCorrect™ treatment involves wearing a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. These aligners are nearly invisible, which means hardly anyone will know you are straightening your teeth.
Our dentists use the doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan with 3D computer graphics to move your teeth gradually week by week until your final aesthetic result is achieved.
After initial impressions of your teeth are taken, a series of clear plastic aligners are created that are custom-designed for your needs. After wearing each set of aligners, your dentist will decide when you should proceed to the next set, leading to the gradual straightening of your teeth over a period of about one year.
The aligners are removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, and are significantly more comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing than traditional metal braces.
ClearCorrect™ Candidates
Just about anyone who is affected by crooked and misaligned teeth, or teeth that are spaced too far apart, can benefit from ClearCorrect™. The treatment can even help those who have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
Those who may not be candidates can benefit from alternative orthodontic treatments, also designed to provide effective treatment in the most discreet way possible.

ClearCorrect FAQs
+What is ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect uses a series of see-through, custom-fit aligners to gradually move teeth into position. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts, our dentists are certified in ClearCorrect and were among the first in Central New Jersey to offer it.
+Can ClearCorrect aligners be removed?
Yes. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we love that ClearCorrect aligners come out for eating, drinking, brushing, flossing, and special occasions, then go right back in.
+What issues can ClearCorrect help treat?
At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we use ClearCorrect to treat crooked or misaligned teeth, spacing and gaps, and many overbite, underbite, and crossbite cases.
+How long does ClearCorrect treatment take?
Most cases take about a year, though it varies with complexity. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we map out your timeline with 3D imaging so you know what to expect from the start.
+Are ClearCorrect aligners really invisible?
They are nearly invisible. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts patients appreciate that the clear aligners let them straighten their teeth without anyone noticing they are in treatment.
+Does ClearCorrect hurt?
You may feel mild pressure for a day or two when starting a new set of aligners — that is the teeth moving. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we find most patients consider it far more comfortable than metal braces.
+How is ClearCorrect different from braces?
ClearCorrect is removable, clear, and has no wires or brackets. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we often recommend it for patients who want a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
+How often do I wear the aligners?
For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours a day. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we coach you on staying on track so your treatment finishes on schedule.
+Will I need a retainer after ClearCorrect?
Yes. To keep your new smile in place, a retainer is recommended after treatment. At Imagine Advanced Dental Arts we provide one and explain how to use it.
+How do I find out if ClearCorrect is right for me?
Schedule a consultation at Imagine Advanced Dental Arts. We will examine your teeth and bite and let you know whether ClearCorrect or another option is the best fit.
