The Invisible Braces

Would you like to achieve a straighter, more beautiful smile using a nearly invisible system of clear aligners?

ClearCorrect uses the latest 3-D technology to create a series of custom made, clear, smooth retainers that avoids the use of metal brackets. 

If you are a candidate for ClearCorrect, Dr. Schimmel and his staff will take the necessary photos, 3-D scans of your teeth, and the necessary x-rays. These are sent to ClearCorrect along with a prescription. They, along with Dr. Schimmel plan out a series of gradual steps to reach the desired goal.  Once it is agreed upon, with your consent, ClearCorrect uses the latest in 3D printing technology to create custom aligners.  This work is all done in the United States, unlike Invisalign.

With ClearCorrect you can remove the aligners to eat, drink and brush. The rest of the time they are worn, so the impact on your day-to-day life is minimal. You will wear each tray for two or three weeks. The amount of movement in each tray is minimal to prevent discomfort.  At the end of six weeks you will return for Dr. Schimmel to evaluate and make any corrections needed. Most treatments take from nine to eighteen months to move your teeth into a more beautiful smile.
