Who Is a Candidate for ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect treats a broad range of alignment issues in teens and adults — a quick consultation confirms whether you qualify.
Conditions ClearCorrect Treats
- Crowded teeth — insufficient space causes overlapping

- Underbite — lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth when biting
- Crossbite — some upper teeth sit inside lower teeth
- Open bite — upper and lower teeth don't meet when biting
- Mild to moderate relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
When ClearCorrect May Not Be the Right Fit
- —Severe skeletal jaw discrepancies that require surgical correction
- —Significant active periodontal (gum) disease — this must be treated first
- —Patients who cannot commit to wearing aligners 22 hours per day
- —Very young patients whose permanent teeth have not fully erupted
