Wondering whether clear aligners fit your smile? Candidacy is not decided by age or a single photo. A dental professional looks at your teeth, gums, bite, goals, and the movements needed before recommending ClearCorrect or another option.
Myth: There is one perfect age
ClearCorrect is available for adults and teens, but age alone does not answer the question. Oral health, routine, and the type of movement needed all matter.
Myth: A concern rules out treatment
A cavity, gum concern, or another issue may need attention first. That does not automatically rule out future treatment. Your dentist can explain the sequence.
Myth: Clear aligners correct every case
ClearCorrect can be useful for some spacing, crowding, and bite concerns, but every case is different. Some movements are better served by braces or another approach.
Myth: A scan decides candidacy
Records help create a plan, but an exam of the teeth, gums, and bite gives important context. Additional records may help answer specific questions.
Myth: Removable means effortless
Trays need a dependable routine: wear, cleaning, safe storage, and progress visits. Share your work, school, and travel habits so the plan fits real life.
Myth: A consultation is a commitment
Your ClearCorrect consultation at Dental Enhanced is free, and it is a chance to compare options. Ask how progress will be monitored, what to do if a tray is uncomfortable or lost, and what retention looks like after active treatment. A personalized evaluation helps you choose with confidence.
