Virtually invisible clear aligners, planned digitally from the first scan to the final tray.
Part of our orthodontic services at Advanced Dental Solutions, ClearCorrect is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays. There are no metal brackets, no wires, and no dietary restrictions. If you have been considering orthodontic treatment in Torrance but want something discreet and manageable around your daily routine, ClearCorrect is worth a thorough look.
What Is ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect uses a series of BPA-free clear plastic aligners, each fabricated specifically for your teeth at that stage of treatment, to move your teeth gradually into their planned positions. You wear each set for two to three weeks before advancing to the next. The aligners come out for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing, so your hygiene routine stays intact and you are not working around food restrictions.
The full treatment is mapped digitally before you start. Using ClearPilot visualization software, your provider builds a precise model of your current alignment and a projected path to your end result, so you can see exactly where your teeth are going before you commit to the first tray.
What ClearCorrect Can Correct
ClearCorrect treats a wider range of alignment issues than most patients expect. Crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and rotated teeth all fall within its treatment range, covering everything from minor corrections to more complex orthodontic needs. If you have held off on an evaluation because you assumed your case was too involved for clear aligners, or too minor to bother addressing, a consultation will give you a direct answer based on your actual teeth.
One thing to know before scheduling: active cavities or gum disease need to be resolved before aligner therapy can begin. Your provider checks your oral health at the initial evaluation.
How ClearCorrect Treatment Works at Advanced Dental Solutions
Consultation and Oral Health Assessment
Your provider reviews your dental health, takes photographs, and conducts a full evaluation to confirm ClearCorrect is appropriate for your alignment goals. You leave knowing exactly what treatment looks like for your case and whether anything needs to be addressed before starting.
Digital Scan and Treatment Planning
A full digital scan of your teeth is taken in-office — no traditional impressions. Your records are submitted to ClearCorrect, which generates a personalized treatment plan. Your provider reviews and approves the plan using ClearPilot software before any aligners are fabricated.
Aligner Fit Appointment
When your trays arrive, your provider walks you through the full plan in ClearPilot so you can see the expected movements and timeline. Fit is checked, engagers are placed if your plan requires them, and you are shown how to insert and remove your aligners correctly. Chewies are provided to help the trays seat fully.
Active Treatment and Follow-Up Visits
You wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, switching to the next set every two to three weeks. Follow-up appointments happen after every two aligners, roughly every four to six weeks, to confirm fit and monitor progress.
Retention
After your final aligner, a retainer is required to keep your result stable while the surrounding tissue settles into its new position. Your provider will discuss your retention options before active treatment ends.
Your ClearCorrect Treatment Options
ClearCorrect structures treatment around three plans, each matched to the complexity of your case.
Limited 6 uses six aligner sets and is designed for patients with mild alignment issues that require a smaller, defined sequence of corrections.
Limited 12 uses 12 sets and is suited for minor to moderate corrections that call for a longer treatment arc.
Unlimited provides as many aligner sets as needed to complete your case and is the right plan when the complexity of the problem is too variable to resolve within a fixed number of trays.
Your provider determines the appropriate plan during treatment planning, based on your digital scan and the full ClearPilot setup. The plan that fits your case is the one that gets you to the result you are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions About ClearCorrect
Both are clear aligner systems built on the same clinical principle: custom-fit trays that shift teeth gradually through planned movements. The differences for most patients come down to the treatment planning software, the fabrication process, and the provider offering them. ClearCorrect uses ClearPilot for digital planning and BPA-free plastic trays fabricated to your exact case. For patients at Advanced Dental Solutions, the more meaningful question is whether clear aligner therapy is the right approach for your specific alignment goals, and your provider will assess that and give you a direct recommendation at your consultation.
Engagers are small tooth-colored composite bumps bonded to specific teeth to give the aligner surface better grip for more precise movements. They are not used in every case, but they are routine for patients whose plan involves rotation, vertical movement, or corrections that a smooth aligner surface cannot handle as precisely on its own. They blend with your enamel, are fully removed at the end of treatment, and your provider will tell you at your aligner fit appointment exactly which teeth will have them and why.
ClearCorrect handles both. Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites all fall within its treatment range, alongside crowding, spacing, and rotation. Whether a bite issue can be fully resolved depends on its source: if the problem is primarily tooth position, aligners are well suited to address it; if the jaw position itself is the cause, a different or combined approach may be needed. Your provider will assess this directly and tell you what ClearCorrect can realistically accomplish for your case.
Missing a single day occasionally is not usually a major setback, but it adds up faster than most patients expect. ClearCorrect treatment is built around 20 to 22 hours of daily wear, and that is not buffer in the recommendation — it is what the movement schedule depends on. If you miss a day, put your aligners back in as soon as you can and stay on your current set an extra day or two before switching to the next. Your provider catches any fit or tracking issues at follow-up appointments before they become a larger problem.
The plan is determined during treatment planning, after your provider reviews your digital scan and the ClearPilot setup for your case. Limited 6 and Limited 12 are appropriate when the corrections needed are defined and bounded within a set number of aligners. Unlimited is for cases where the scope of movement makes a fixed count impractical. Your provider will explain which plan fits your situation and why before anything is finalized — you are not choosing between plans on your own.
