“From Orthoclear to Clearcorrect- Two Years No Change”

Not Worth It
Spent: $3,350 in The Woodlands, Tx

Started with Orthoclear, switched to clearcorrect, almost finished now? Very dissappointed, it has taken over two years when it was sold to me as a "faster than traditional braces, but invisible" treatment. I would like to discourage others from vague promises. Ask for computer progression, dates, alternatives, see other patients before-after pictures. Do not try Clearcorrect or Orthoclear, their trays kept on cracking on day 2-4 of use, and there were no replacements, but tray did not work as well. Almost no movement in 2 years. Rip off! Invest in cosmetic or traditional system.

Helpful review?

My Doctor:

Dr L performed traditional braces on my daughter, who was left with even but projected teeth. When I started her treatment was not over, he did not reveal to me the lack of certainty of results, and the length, or the need for buttons. I was told it would be 6 months to a year. Told me it could be cheaper and was way better than all others. My mouth looked better before. It has caused an overbite, I have sticking-out teeth and speech problems, which as a teacher, I can't take it for over 2 years!!!!! he tells me it all will go away when I finish treatment (no aprox. date)

Thx so much for sharing about orthoclear and clear correction. I'm trying to figure out what works best for moderate correction but avoiding braces Wondering if you ruled out Invisalign for some reason...was orthoclear cheaper?

Dr L ruled out invisalign because he said is for "milder" interventions, e.g. no overcrowding/overlapping of teeth) I understand that Orthoclear went out of business, my doctor switched to clear correct without informing me of it, or why. As a teacher I felt weird using regular braces in front of my class, and that is why I opted for clear ones, but looking back, after over 2 years, and without significant change, AND no end in sight, AND wearing buttons (they stick material onto the teeth to make white brackets, like trad. braces) the "invisible" is gone, and the difficulty pronouncing words is still there, and you don't go out, and you can't make decent presentations... my advise, take a deep breath and wear traditional, maybe ceramic ones which are less visible...

If some dentist told me that teeth could be moved to create a nice smile and correct bite in six months to a year I would walk out of there laughing. My smile and bite are not even that off and I was told 2 years min. probably closer to 3. I think you should go see a different dentist.

ClearCorrect has been a big disappointment.Had to have a midcourse correction on the upper teeth - the trays would not even come close to fitting. Then the new trays that came in did absolutely nothing. I'm finished but waiting for refinement trays - it's been 5 weeks. A week ago they said they were finished and would rush them to my dentist. We're still waiting a week later - they haven't left the lab. My teeth look worse now than when I started over a year ago, and have no idea how long the refinement trays will take. I wouldn't recommend ClearCorrect.

Hi Peyton52. I’m so sorry to hear about the frustrations you’re experiencing. There are a few things that sometimes happen with cases that would cause the teeth to not track properly, such as distorted or bad impressions. If you would like to message me your contact information, I would be more than happy to give you a call to discuss so I can get with your dentist to work out whatever is causing the problem.
