ClearCorrect in Bourne, Lincolnshire
ClearCorrect is a system of custom-made, removable clear aligners that gradually move your teeth into a straighter position. Each aligner is precision-made from ClearQuartz, a tri-layer plastic material designed to be virtually invisible, comfortable, and resistant to staining, offering a discreet alternative to fixed braces.
At Bourne Dental Practice, our experienced clinicians can assess whether ClearCorrect is a suitable option for you and will design a personalised digital treatment plan to help you achieve your smile goals.
How Does ClearCorrect Work?
Treatment begins with an assessment of your teeth and bite, usually including a digital scan. This information is used to create a custom digital treatment plan showing how your teeth are expected to move throughout your course of treatment. A series of aligners is then manufactured specifically for you, with each aligner typically worn for one to two weeks before you progress to the next in the series. For the best results, aligners should be worn for around 22 hours a day, removed only for eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth.
What Can ClearCorrect Treat?
ClearCorrect can help treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded and gapped teeth, deep bites, overbites, crossbites, open bites, and midline shifts. As with any clear aligner system, not every case is suitable, so a full assessment with your dentist is needed before treatment begins to confirm ClearCorrect is the right choice for your smile.
ClearCorrect at Bourne Dental Practice
ClearCorrect aligners are made using ClearQuartz, a tri-layer aligner material combined with a Performance Trimline designed to improve comfort, clarity, and control over tooth movement. Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, and your dentist will be able to give you a personalised estimate at your consultation.
ClearCorrect vs Fixed Braces
Unlike traditional fixed braces, ClearCorrect aligners are removable and nearly invisible, meaning you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as normal during treatment. This makes them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance of metal brackets and wires.

Is ClearCorrect right for me?
ClearCorrect can treat a wide range of common orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and certain bite problems. Your dentist will assess your teeth and bite, usually with a digital scan, to confirm whether ClearCorrect is a suitable option for you.
Can I eat and drink with ClearCorrect aligners in?
Aligners should be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water, so you can continue to enjoy your usual diet during treatment. Removing them for meals also makes it easier to keep both your teeth and your aligners clean.
How many hours a day should I wear my aligners?
For the best results, ClearCorrect aligners should be worn for around 22 hours a day, removed only for eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth. Wearing them consistently helps keep your treatment progressing as planned.
Will ClearCorrect affect my speech?
As with most clear aligners, you may notice a slight, temporary change to your speech while you get used to wearing them. This usually settles within a few days as your tongue adjusts to the aligners.
How do I look after my ClearCorrect aligners?
Clean your aligners regularly as advised by your dentist and rinse them each time you take them out. When they are not being worn, store them in their case to keep them safe and hygienic, and avoid hot water, which can distort their shape.
