ClearCorrect, with care from your dentist
ClearCorrect uses a series of removable aligners to gradually move teeth. Dr. Engel is a certified ClearCorrect provider and has provided clear aligner therapy since 2001. He plans and manages treatment at Living Dental Health, so you have a dentist to talk with as your treatment progresses.
Is this the right option for me?
Suitability depends on your teeth, gums, bite, and the changes you need. Some cases need another approach or specialist care. An examination helps you compare options before committing to aligners. Removable aligners are a form of dentist- or orthodontist-supervised treatment.
ADA overview of orthodontic treatmentWhat the process looks like
First, discuss your goals and have your oral health assessed. If aligners are appropriate, Dr. Engel explains the proposed plan, expected timing, and follow-up. Wear and change aligners according to your individual instructions. Ask about retainers and maintaining your result as part of the plan, not as an afterthought.
Fitting treatment into everyday life
Aligners are removable for meals and cleaning. Consistent wear matters, and your dentist will explain the schedule for your case. Bring up travel, work, or other practical concerns during planning so you understand what treatment will require from you.
Timing, cost, and what is included
Treatment length and fees depend on the complexity of your case. Ask for an explanation of visits, any additional aligners, and retainers included in your estimate. The practice offers CareCredit for larger treatment plans; ask the team about applicable options and confirm any insurance benefits with your plan. There is no single treatment length or fee that fits every patient.
