How do ClearCorrect® clear aligners work?
Like all types of orthodontic treatment, ClearCorrect® invisible aligners exert gentle pressure on the teeth. Over time, the teeth respond by moving into the desired position.
You will change out your aligners for a set of new ones approximately every 2–3 weeks. Remember that you must wear your clear aligners 22 hours a day to be fully effective. Only remove them when eating, drinking or cleaning your teeth.
