Consultation and planning
Tell us about your dream smile during your consultation and we will help you achieve it! We use advanced digital equipment to ensure your clear aligners are as accurate and comfortable as possible.
ClearCorrect treatment
Your easy-to-wear and nearly invisible braces move your teeth into straighter positions, gradually creating your transformed smile.
Your new smile
When your treatment is complete, you can begin really showing off your new smile.
ClearCorrect Aligners are an easy-to-use, comfortable and accurate way to straighten your teeth and achieve incredible results. They work in the same way as most orthodontic treatment, applying gradual and gentle forces on the teeth to move them into more desirable positions, but are far superior in aesthetics. Virtually invisible when worn, you can straighen your teeth without anyone needing to know you are having treatment!
ClearCorrect Aligners work in a very similar way to other clear aligner systems. However, they are often more affordable and tend to be slightly thinner, making them exceptionally comfortable to wear.

Find out moreMost patients wanting to achieve straighter teeth and improve the appearance of their smiles are suitable for treatment with clear aligners. The ClearCorrect system is designed to be predictable, comfortable and aesthetic, and is successful across a variety of simple to more advanced orthodontic cases.
ClearCorrect aligners are made with comfort in mind, and are not painful to wear. They are made with no metal included at all, unlike traditional braces which can rub or irritate your mouth. The aligners are custom made, using highly accurate scans to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. You may feel some slight soreness as you first get used to wearing the aligners, but this will be temporary.
To make sure your clear aligner treatment is as effective and successful as possible, you need to wear your aligners for 22 hours per day. They can be removed for eating, drinking and while you clean your teeth, but it is important you remember to put them back in afterwards to continue your treatment process.
The length of your treatment depends entirely on your individual case – how far your teeth have to move to achieve your smile goal. On average, treatment takes around 10-14 months, but this does vary. You can ensure your treatment stays on track by making sure you wear your aligners correctly and tell us quickly if you have any issues or concerns. Your dentist will give you a more detailed estimate of your treatment time.
You will have regular appointments in the practice during your treatment, so your dentist can check your progress and make sure everything is going to plan. It is also important that you attend regular check ups during your orthodontic treatment, so your dentist can keep an eye on your oral health.
Wearing retainers is an important part of your clear aligner treatment. They keep your teeth in their new positions, and help prevent all the progress made by your aligners from being undone. We advise that you wear retainers on a part time basis, usually overnight, for the long term.
