What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Clear Correct is the invisible way to straighten teeth without braces.
Using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to project tooth movement, Clear Correct creates a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth. You wear each aligner for about two weeks, moving to the next set, until your teeth are straight.
