What Is ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect Aligners — Straighten Teeth Without Metal Braces
ClearCorrect aligners are a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays designed to gradually move teeth into their correct positions. Similar to other clear aligner systems, ClearCorrect offers a discreet way to correct orthodontic issues without metal wires or brackets.
At A-Dental Center, Dr. Fadi Elzayat, DDS, FICOI uses the iTero 3D Scanner for precise digital impressions, no putty, no molds, and provides a digital preview of your projected result before treatment begins.
USA-Manufactured
ClearCorrect trays are made in the United States, with a slightly different material composition to Invisalign® that many patients find comfortable.
Competitively Priced
Often more affordable than Invisalign® for mild to moderate cases, the same clinical outcome at a lower cost for many patients.
Excellent for Mild to Moderate Cases
ClearCorrect produces clinically equivalent results to Invisalign® for the majority of crowding, spacing, and bite correction cases.
Digital Planning & Preview
3D treatment simulation lets you see how your teeth will move at each stage. You view your projected final smile before any aligner is made.
Crowded Teeth Treatment in North Hollywood
Crowding is the most common reason adults seek aligner treatment. ClearCorrect predictably corrects mild to moderate crowding without brackets, wires, or frequent adjustment visits.
Gap Teeth Treatment with ClearCorrect
Gaps between teeth are reliably closed with ClearCorrect aligners. Most spacing cases complete within 6 to 12 months, with visible improvement within the first few trays.
Overbite Correction Without Metal Braces
ClearCorrect can correct mild to moderate overbites using progressive tray adjustments. Dr. Elzayat will assess at your free consultation whether your overbite is treatable with aligners alone.
Crossbite and Underbite Treatment Options
Mild crossbites and underbites are addressable with ClearCorrect. More significant cases may require a combined approach. Dr. Elzayat gives an honest evaluation of what aligners can and cannot address in your case.
Conditions ClearCorrect can treat
- Crowded teeth — mild to moderate crowding treated reliably
- Gapped teeth — predictable gap closure in most cases
- Overbite — upper teeth overlap lower teeth too far
- Underbite — lower teeth protrude past upper
- Crossbite — upper and lower teeth misaligned side-to-side
- Post-braces relapse — retreatment for teeth that have shifted

Is ClearCorrect Right for You?
Who Is a Good Candidate for ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect is most effective for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. The best way to know for certain is a free clinical consultation — but here are the most common cases treated:
Crowded Teeth
Overlapping or cramped teeth. The most common clear aligner case type. ClearCorrect handles mild to moderate crowding reliably and predictably.
Gapped Teeth
Spaces between teeth from jaw size discrepancy or missing teeth. Gap closure is one of the most predictable clear aligner outcomes.
Mild Overbite
Upper teeth overlap lower teeth too far. ClearCorrect treats mild to moderate overbite effectively. Severe overbite may require Invisalign® or combined treatment.
Mild Underbite
Lower teeth protrude past upper teeth. Mild underbites are treatable. Moderate-severe underbites typically require Invisalign® or a combined orthodontic approach.
Crossbite
Upper and lower teeth don't align side-to-side. Can cause uneven wear and jaw strain. Dental crossbites are treatable with ClearCorrect in appropriate cases.
Relapse After Braces
Teeth that have drifted after previous orthodontic treatment. One of the most common and ideal applications for ClearCorrect — often a shorter course than original treatment.

The Honest Comparison
ClearCorrect vs. Invisalign® — Direct Comparison
Both are excellent systems. Both are FDA-cleared. Here's a direct, unbiased comparison — the kind you can't get from a provider who only offers one:

| Manufacturer | Straumann Group — USA | Align Technology — Global |
| FDA Clearance | ✓ FDA cleared | ✓ FDA cleared |
| Aligner material | Polycarbonate — BPA-free | SmartTrack® proprietary thermoplastic |

| Virtually invisible | ✓ | ✓ |
| Fully removable | ✓ | ✓ |
| Mild to Moderate cases | ✓ Excellent | ✓ Excellent |
| Complex bite correction | Limited for severe cases | ✓ Comprehensive program |
| Teen-specific program | Standard only | ✓ Invisalign® for Teens |
| Clinical dataset | Large — growing | ✓ Largest in the industry |
| Cost for mild/moderate cases | ✓ Often more competitive | Competitive — varies by case |
| Office visits | ✓ Every 6 to 8 weeks | ✓ Every 6 to 8 weeks |
| Wear per day required | 20 to 22 hours | 20 to 22 hours |
Which is faster — ClearCorrect or Invisalign®?
Treatment speed is determined primarily by case complexity and patient compliance — not by aligner brand. Both systems change trays every 1 to 2 weeks and require 20 to 22 hours of daily wear. A mild crowding case takes roughly the same time in either system.
Which is more comfortable?
Both systems use smooth, close-fitting plastic with no metal components. Comfort is comparable. The mild pressure experienced when advancing to a new aligner set is present in both systems — and diminishes with each new set.

FAQ
ClearCorrect FAQ
Is ClearCorrect as good as Invisalign®?
For mild to moderate cases — crowding, spacing, minor overbite — ClearCorrect and Invisalign® produce clinically equivalent outcomes. Both are FDA-cleared. Invisalign® has a broader clinical dataset and more complex-case capability. For straightforward cases, ClearCorrect is an excellent choice, typically at lower cost. Dr. Elzayat gives you a direct recommendation based on your clinical picture.
Is ClearCorrect cheaper than Invisalign®?
For mild to moderate cases, yes — typically $500–$1,500 less at A-Dental Center for comparable cases. For complex comprehensive cases, the difference narrows. Total cost is always provided at your free consultation with both options if you’re a candidate for either.
Which works faster — ClearCorrect or Invisalign®?
Treatment speed is determined by case complexity and patient compliance — not by brand. Both systems use 1–2 week aligner changes and require 20–22 hours of daily wear. A mild crowding case takes roughly the same time in either system. The difference in “speed” between brands is a marketing claim, not a clinical reality for comparable cases.
Which is more comfortable — ClearCorrect or Invisalign®?
Both systems use smooth, close-fitting transparent plastic with no metal components. Comfort is comparable. Mild pressure when advancing to a new aligner set is present in both — and diminishes with each stage as teeth adjust.
Which has fewer office visits — ClearCorrect or Invisalign®?
Both require check-ins every 6–8 weeks at A-Dental Center. There is no meaningful difference in appointment frequency between the two systems.
Which is better for complex cases?
Invisalign® Comprehensive has the broader clinical toolkit for complex bite correction, significant crowding, and cases requiring more aggressive movement. ClearCorrect is best suited for mild to moderate cases. For complex cases, Dr. Elzayat recommends Invisalign® or, where appropriate, traditional braces.
How long does ClearCorrect treatment take?
Mild cases: 6–12 months. Moderate cases: 12–18 months. Complex cases: up to 24 months. Your projected timeline is determined at the consultation based on your specific case.
Does ClearCorrect hurt?
Mild pressure is normal for the first 2–4 days after switching to a new aligner set. Most patients manage without medication. Discomfort diminishes with each subsequent aligner set as teeth adjust incrementally.
How many hours a day do I wear ClearCorrect aligners?
20–22 hours per day. Aligners are removed to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. Wearing them fewer hours slows treatment, causes aligners to stop fitting, and results in refinements that add time and cost.
Can ClearCorrect fix my bite?
Yes — for mild to moderate overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Severe skeletal bite discrepancies may require surgical intervention or Invisalign® Comprehensive. Dr. Elzayat gives you an honest clinical assessment at your consultation.
Can I eat normally with ClearCorrect?
Yes — remove aligners to eat anything. No food restrictions. No banned food lists. The only rule: don’t eat or drink (other than water) with aligners in. Remove, eat, rinse, brush when possible, reinsert.
Is ClearCorrect covered by insurance?
Many PPO dental plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies to ClearCorrect. We accept Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, Humana, Anthem, BlueCross BlueShield, and United Healthcare. Benefits verified before your appointment — no billing surprises.
Do I need a retainer after ClearCorrect?
Yes — without retention, teeth shift back. This is true for every aligner system and every orthodontic treatment. Dr. Elzayat provides your retainer at the conclusion of treatment and a recommended wear schedule. Skipping the retainer is the single most common reason orthodontic results deteriorate over time.
Why choose ClearCorrect over mail-order aligners?
Mail-order companies skip the in-person dental exam entirely. Gum disease, bone loss, cracked teeth, and bite issues go undetected before teeth are moved — sometimes causing irreversible damage. The American Association of Orthodontists has formally warned against unsupervised treatment. ClearCorrect at A-Dental Center begins with a comprehensive clinical exam. The lower upfront cost of mail-order aligners does not offset the long-term risk.
Can I switch from ClearCorrect to Invisalign® mid-treatment?
Switching mid-treatment is technically possible but involves restarting the digital treatment planning process. Dr. Elzayat would assess your progress and current tooth position with a new iTero scan. This is rare — most patients complete their planned course. If your case needs to escalate due to unforeseen complexity, Dr. Elzayat discusses the options directly with you.
