What ClearCorrect can help address
Our doctors will recommend ClearCorrect for selected crowded, crooked, or spaced teeth and some bite concerns. Each tray is designed to apply controlled pressure, while the sequence, wear schedule, and overall length of care depend on the movements your teeth need—not a one-size-fits-all timeline.
Because the aligners are removable, you take them out for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and cleaning between your teeth. Consistent wear and careful hygiene help keep treatment on track; aligner care should complement, not replace, routine dental exams and cleanings.
- A discreet, removable option for some alignment concerns
- A plan shaped by your teeth, bite, gums, restorations, and goals
- Check-ins to assess progress and address questions

What to expect at your consultation
Our doctors begin by assessing your teeth and gums, existing dental work, bite, and overall oral health. They will discuss what you want to change, what aligners can and cannot address, and whether traditional braces, restorative care, a combined approach, or an orthodontic referral may be a better fit.
If you feel anxious about dental care, options are available to help you feel more comfortable. Ross & Durrett Family Dental has cared for the Lake Forest community since 1968, with a focus on clear explanations and a plan you can understand.
- An in-person evaluation before treatment recommendations are made
- Time to discuss your goals, questions, and daily routine
- Guidance on wearing, cleaning, and changing trays as directed

Responsibilities and your next step
Active decay or gum disease may need attention before aligner treatment. Daily wear, tray cleaning, and follow-up visits matter; temporary pressure or tenderness, irritation, a poor fit, bite changes, or unwanted tooth movement can occur, so contact the dental team rather than forcing a tray. Retention is commonly needed after active treatment to help maintain tooth position.

Questions, answered clearly
Good questions are welcome.
Am I a candidate for ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect may suit some adults and teens with selected crowding, spacing, or bite concerns, but candidacy depends on an examination of your teeth, gums, bite, restorations, and goals. Our doctors will explain alternatives if aligners are not likely to be predictable for your case.
How do I care for ClearCorrect aligners?
Wear and clean your trays as directed, remove them for eating and drinking anything other than water, and keep brushing and cleaning between your teeth. Bring questions or concerns to your recommended check-ins, especially if a tray no longer fits comfortably.
How does ClearCorrect compare with Invisalign?
ClearCorrect and Invisalign are different brands of clear aligners. Both use a series of custom, removable trays to gradually move teeth. ClearCorrect is an effective option for selected crowding, spacing, and bite concerns. Our doctors will recommend treatment based on the movements your teeth need and the health of your smile.
Is ClearCorrect more affordable than Invisalign?
ClearCorrect can be a more affordable alternative to Invisalign for some treatment plans. The total cost reflects the complexity and length of treatment and what is included in your care. At your consultation, we'll explain your ClearCorrect plan and provide a personalized estimate so you can compare your options.
