Straighten Your Smile with ClearCorrect®
ClearCorrect is a highly effective clear aligner system that straightens teeth gradually using a series of custom-fabricated, virtually invisible removable trays. Like Invisalign, ClearCorrect moves teeth precisely through a planned sequence of controlled movements, delivering a straighter, healthier smile without brackets, wires, or the lifestyle limitations that come with traditional braces.
At Newark Smiles Dental, we offer ClearCorrect as part of our comprehensive orthodontic treatment options for teens and adults. For patients who are candidates for clear aligner treatment, our doctors will evaluate both ClearCorrect and Invisalign at your consultation and help you understand which system is the better fit for your specific case, your preferences, and your budget. Both are outstanding clear aligner systems, and the right choice depends on your individual clinical situation.
If you have been considering straightening your teeth and want to do it as discreetly and conveniently as possible, ClearCorrect may be exactly the solution you are looking for.

What Is ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect is an orthodontic clear aligner system developed and manufactured by Straumann, one of the world's leading dental companies. It uses a series of custom-made, removable, virtually invisible plastic aligners to move teeth gradually into their correct positions, delivering straighter teeth and a healthier bite without the brackets, wires, and tightening appointments associated with traditional braces.
Each aligner in your ClearCorrect series is fabricated to precise specifications based on a digital treatment plan created by your doctor. When you wear an aligner, it applies gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, moving them a small amount closer to their planned final position. You progress through the series on a schedule, typically changing to a new set every one to two weeks, with each new aligner continuing the movement from where the previous one left off.
Why Patients in Newark Choose ClearCorrect
- Virtually Invisible: Clear, medical-grade aligners are discreet, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who want a less noticeable alternative to braces.
- Removable for Everyday Life: Take your aligners out to eat, drink, brush and floss, so there are no food restrictions or changes to your oral hygiene routine.
- Comfortable to Wear: Smooth plastic aligners eliminate the irritation often caused by metal brackets and wires, with only mild pressure as your teeth move.
- Proven, Predictable Results: ClearCorrect has helped millions of patients achieve healthier, straighter smiles with a precise, customized treatment approach.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Whether you need minor corrections or more comprehensive alignment, ClearCorrect offers flexible options designed around your smile goals.
How ClearCorrect Treatment Works at Newark Smiles Dental
Step 1 — Consultation and Assessment
Your ClearCorrect journey begins with a thorough consultation. Our doctors will examine your teeth and bite, take digital records, and assess whether ClearCorrect is the right treatment approach for your specific orthodontic situation. We will discuss your goals honestly, explain what ClearCorrect can achieve for your case, and answer all of your questions before you make any decision.
Step 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Using a digital scan of your teeth and ClearCorrect's treatment planning software, our doctors design your complete treatment plan digitally. Every stage of tooth movement is planned and mapped out before a single aligner is made. You will have the opportunity to review the planned progression before your aligners are fabricated.
Step 3 — Custom Aligner Fabrication
Once your treatment plan is approved, your complete series of custom ClearCorrect aligners is fabricated from medical-grade clear plastic precisely shaped to the specifications of your plan. Each aligner in the series moves your teeth a small, controlled amount closer to their final position.
Step 4 — Wearing Your Aligners
You wear each set of aligners for the prescribed period, typically one to two weeks, before progressing to the next set in the series. Aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is essential to achieving your projected result on schedule.
Step 5 — Progress Checkups
You will visit our Newark office periodically throughout your treatment, typically every six to eight weeks, for progress checkups. Our doctors will monitor how your teeth are tracking against the treatment plan, address any questions, and provide your next sets of aligners. These visits are brief and do not involve any tightening or adjustments.
Step 6 — Refinements if Needed
In some cases, additional refinement aligners may be prescribed toward the end of treatment to fine-tune the final result and ensure the best possible outcome.
Step 7 — Retainers
Once your active ClearCorrect treatment is complete, retainers are essential to maintain your results. Without retainers, teeth will naturally tend to shift back toward their original positions over time. Retainers are typically worn full-time initially and then only during sleep on an ongoing basis.
