Trust Us for Your Straight Teeth

You'll experience many benefits by straightening teeth with ClearCorrect orthodontics. However, not everyone is a candidate for this treatment, so your initial consultation is crucial for determining your eligibility:

Dr. Stanfield will examine your mouth to determine if this is the best option for you. He'll also take the time to address oral health concerns such as cavities, gum disease, and other issues.

He'll use an intraoral camera to show you the inside of your mouth. If he finds that you are a candidate for ClearCorrect, he will use this equipment to take digital scans of your teeth that will be used to create your custom aligners.

You can also use this time to understand your payment options and arrange for third-party financing if necessary. Dr. Stanfield can also work with you on a treatment plan that combines orthodontic treatment with other cosmetic services like teeth whitening or veneers.

Get Started on Your New Smile

Once your aligners are ready, you'll return to begin your personalized treatment plan. The process is designed to be convenient and effective for busy lifestyles:

You'll need to wear your custom aligners about 22 hours a day for about two to three weeks before moving on to the next set in your series. You'll occasionally come in for progress checks to ensure everything is going well, and your teeth are moving according to plan.

Most patients see complete results in about 12 to 18 months, though every patient is different and some achieve a straight smile in even less time. Throughout the process, Dr. Stanfield and his team will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.
