Straightening your teeth
Clear aligners
A series of ClearCorrect trays, changed in order. Taken out to eat, worn at least 22 hours a day.
Who it suits
Clear aligners suit cases that can be corrected with removable trays rather than fixed brackets. Dr. Mashaly confirms whether they fit your case at the consultation.
How it works
-
1
Photographs, a scan, and a conversation about what your bite needs.
-
2
A series of ClearCorrect trays is made from that scan, each one moving the teeth a small step.
-

Each tray is worn at least 22 hours a day and changed in order, with check-ins along the way.

Once the sequence finishes, a retainer holds the result, as with any active treatment.
How long it usually takes
Most treatments run 12 to 24 months. You get an estimate for your own case at the consultation, after we take the records.
The first week
- A new set feels tight and presses on the teeth. The pressure eases over the days you wear it.
- Mild discomfort in the first three to five days of each new set.
What to avoid
- Anything but cool water while they are in. No hot, sweet or coloured drinks.
- Chewing gum and smoking with the aligners in. Both damage and stain them.
- Biting the aligners into place, or prying them out with anything sharp.
- Denture cleaner, mouthwash and hot water. They damage the plastic.
Every tray traces back to a scan like this.
Each tooth is mapped and tracked individually, so the whole sequence moves it exactly as planned.
