Our ClearCorrect Treatments

ClearCorrect aligners in the UK typically cost between £1,800 and £3,000 for a complete treatment course, with the exact price depending on the complexity of your dental alignment needs. This price range reflects the comprehensive nature of the treatment, which includes custom-made clear aligners, regular check-ups, and necessary adjustments throughout your treatment journey.

The total cost varies based on several key factors, including the number of aligners needed, treatment duration, and the specific dental issues being addressed. More complex cases requiring longer treatment times or additional aligners will generally fall at the higher end of the price spectrum.

• Mild alignment cases (3-6 months): From £1,800
• Moderate alignment cases (6-12 months): £2,000-£2,500
• Complex alignment cases (12-18 months): £2,500-£3,000

Treatment includes:

• Initial consultation and 3D dental scanning
• Custom-made clear aligners using ClearQuartz™ material
• Regular progress monitoring appointments
• Refinements if needed during treatment
• Post-treatment review appointments

For optimal results, patients should:

• Wear aligners 20-22 hours per day
• Remove aligners only for eating and drinking
• Clean aligners and teeth thoroughly
• Attend all scheduled check-up appointments
• Contact the clinic if experiencing any issues or concerns

ClearCorrect treatment typically takes between 12 to 18 months to straighten teeth, though treatment duration can vary significantly based on individual cases. The complexity of your teeth alignment issues, such as the degree of crowding, spacing, or bite correction needed, directly influences the length of treatment.

Most patients begin seeing noticeable improvements within the first few months of wearing their aligners. Simple alignment cases may be completed in as little as 6 months, whilst more complex cases could require up to 24 months of treatment.

• Mild cases (slight crowding or spacing): 6-8 months
• Moderate cases (more pronounced misalignment): 12-18 months
• Complex cases (severe misalignment or bite issues): 18-24 months

For optimal results, aligners should be worn for 22 hours per day, only removing them for:

• Eating and drinking (except water)
• Brushing and flossing
• Special occasions (briefly)

Each set of aligners is typically worn for 2-3 weeks before progressing to the next set in your treatment plan. Regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists every 6-8 weeks ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

Factors that can affect treatment duration include:

• Consistency in wearing aligners
• Individual response to treatment
• Age of the patient
• Initial position of teeth
• Compliance with dental hygiene recommendations

ClearCorrect and traditional metal braces offer distinctly different approaches to teeth straightening. ClearCorrect uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into position, whilst traditional braces rely on fixed metal brackets and wires. The most significant difference is visibility - ClearCorrect aligners are virtually invisible, making them a more discreet option for teeth straightening.

Unlike metal braces, ClearCorrect aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning, allowing for better oral hygiene and no dietary restrictions. Treatment typically takes 12-18 months, similar to traditional braces, but the experience is generally more comfortable as there are no metal components that might irritate the cheeks and gums.

• Comfort and Maintenance:
  • No sharp edges or wires that can cause mouth sores
  • Easier to maintain oral hygiene with removable aligners
  • No food restrictions as aligners are removed while eating
• Treatment Process:
  • Digital scanning for precise custom-fit aligners
  • New sets of aligners every few weeks
  • Regular check-ups every 6-8 weeks
• Lifestyle Considerations:
  • Wear aligners 22 hours per day
  • Remove for special occasions
  • Less noticeable in social situations

ClearCorrect is suitable for treating many types of teeth misalignment, though not all cases. These clear aligners can effectively correct mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, rotations, and bite issues. However, severe orthodontic problems, particularly those involving significant jaw misalignment or complex tooth movements, may require traditional braces or other treatment options.

The suitability of ClearCorrect depends on individual factors that your dentist will evaluate during consultation. These include the specific type and severity of misalignment, tooth root position, and overall oral health condition.

• Suitable for:
  • Gaps between teeth (diastema)
  • Crowded teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Mild to moderate overbites
  • Mild to moderate underbites
  • Open bites
• May not be suitable for:
  • Severe bite problems
  • Complex tooth rotations
  • Large gaps requiring significant tooth movement
  • Cases requiring tooth extraction
  • Significant vertical tooth movement needs

Treatment duration typically ranges from 12 to 18 months, though this varies based on individual cases. For optimal results, aligners should be worn 22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking hot beverages, and cleaning.

You can eat and drink normally while wearing ClearCorrect aligners, but you must remove them first. Unlike traditional braces, ClearCorrect aligners are completely removable before meals and snacks, allowing you to maintain your regular diet without restrictions.

It's essential to remove your aligners before consuming any food or beverages other than cool water. Hot drinks can warp the aligners, whilst coloured beverages may stain them. After eating or drinking, brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners to prevent food particles and bacteria from becoming trapped.

• Remove aligners for:
  • All meals and snacks
  • Hot beverages (tea, coffee)
  • Coloured drinks (wine, juice, fizzy drinks)
  • Sugary beverages
• Daily care routine:
  • Wear aligners 22 hours per day
  • Clean aligners with lukewarm water
  • Brush teeth after eating
  • Store aligners in their case when not wearing

ClearCorrect is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, transparent aligners to gradually straighten teeth. These virtually invisible aligners are crafted from ClearQuartz™, a proprietary material engineered for optimal clarity, comfort, and stain resistance whilst maintaining the necessary strength to effectively move teeth into their desired positions.

The treatment process begins with a detailed digital scan of your teeth, from which a personalised series of aligners is created. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks, gradually shifting teeth into their planned positions. Treatment typically takes 12-18 months, though this varies depending on individual cases.

• Aligners should be worn 22 hours per day
• Remove only for eating, drinking hot beverages, and cleaning
• Change to new aligners every 2 weeks as prescribed
• Regular check-ups every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress

Post-treatment care includes:

• Wearing retainers as prescribed to maintain results
• Regular dental check-ups and cleanings
• Proper oral hygiene maintenance
• Immediate contact with London Dental Specialists if any concerns arise

ClearCorrect aligners should be cleaned at least twice daily using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush, ideally when you wake up and before bed. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the aligners, and never use toothpaste as it can be abrasive and create microscopic scratches that harbour bacteria.

A proper cleaning routine involves gently brushing the aligners inside and out, paying special attention to any attachment points or grooves. For optimal hygiene, you should also rinse your aligners every time you remove them and before putting them back in your mouth.

• Daily Cleaning Essentials:
  • Rinse aligners with lukewarm water after removal
  • Brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush
  • Use clear, antibacterial soap if needed
  • Soak in ClearCorrect cleaning solution once daily

• What to Avoid:
  • Hot water or heat exposure
  • Coloured soaps or cleaning solutions
  • Toothpaste or abrasive cleaners
  • Eating or drinking (except water) whilst wearing aligners
