From Orthoclear to Clearcorrect- Two Years No Change

ORIGINAL POST

Started with Orthoclear, switched to clearcorrect,...

$3,350

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.

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.
