Why it matters
What Is ClearCorrect and How Does It Work?
ClearCorrect is a clear aligner orthodontic system that straightens teeth through a series of custom-fabricated, removable plastic trays – each designed to move teeth a small, precise amount toward their target alignment. At Family Dental Center of Connecticut, Dr. Kasabji and Dr. Engelhardt offer ClearCorrect as an alternative clear aligner option for patients across Wethersfield and Hartford County seeking an effective, affordable, and virtually invisible path to straighter teeth.
Like Invisalign, ClearCorrect aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours per day, removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene, and replaced on a scheduled basis as treatment progresses. ClearCorrect uses a different aligner material formulation and a distinct treatment planning software platform – and is often positioned as a more cost-accessible alternative to Invisalign for patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns. ClearCorrect is clinically effective for correcting the following alignment conditions:
Crowded Teeth
Teeth overlapping due to insufficient arch space; ClearCorrect creates space through controlled sequential movement
Spaced Teeth
Gaps between teeth that compromise smile aesthetics and allow food accumulation near the gumline
Mild To Moderate Overbite
Upper front teeth overlapping lower front teeth; addressed through controlled vertical and horizontal tooth movement
Mild Underbite
Lower teeth positioned slightly in front of upper teeth
Crossbite
One or more upper teeth sitting inside the lower arch
Post-Treatment Relapse
Teeth that have shifted following previous orthodontic treatment are frequently excellent ClearCorrect candidates
Minor Midline Discrepancy
Upper and lower dental midlines not perfectly aligned

What to Expect at Your ClearCorrect Appointments in Wethersfield
ClearCorrect treatment at Family Dental Center of Connecticut follows the same structured, patient-centered process as our Invisalign cases – beginning with a digital scan, proceeding through a reviewed treatment simulation, and continuing with regular progress appointments throughout active treatment.
ClearCorrect Consultation and Digital Scan
Your consultation begins with a digital intraoral scan — no putty impressions, no discomfort. The scan produces a precise 3D model of your current dentition, which is used to generate your custom ClearCorrect treatment plan.
Digital X-rays to evaluate root health and bone levels before orthodontic movement begins
Full intraoral scan – completed in minutes; the data is transmitted directly to ClearCorrect for treatment plan generation
A complete cost estimate and insurance coordination provided at this appointment
A review of whether ClearCorrect or Invisalign is the more clinically appropriate system for your specific case
Treatment Plan Review and Aligner Delivery
When your ClearCorrect treatment plan is returned, Dr. Kasabji or Dr. Engelhardt reviews the full sequence of tooth movements with you before any aligner series is approved for fabrication. You see the planned result and understand the full timeline before commitment.
Review of the complete digital treatment simulation – every planned tooth movement shown in sequence
Attachments placed where required to facilitate precise tooth movement directions
First aligner set delivered with clear wear instructions: 20-22 hours per day
Full aligner series provided in advance so patients can progress through sets on their own schedule
Progress Appointments and Refinements
ClearCorrect progress appointments are scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks at Family Dental Center of Connecticut. These visits confirm teeth are tracking correctly and allow refinement of aligners to be ordered if any tooth movement requires additional correction.
Tooth movement verification against the planned treatment simulation
Attachment and gum health evaluation using intraoral camera imaging
Refinement aligner orders placed where teeth are not tracking as planned
Retainer options discussed and ordered as treatment reaches its final stages

Why Family Dental Center
Clear Aligners Without the Guesswork.
01.
Both ClearCorrect and Invisalign Available -- You Choose the Right Fit
Offering both clear aligner systems means we never steer patients toward one platform for commercial reasons. Our recommendation is based entirely on which system is more clinically appropriate for your specific alignment concerns and budget — with an honest explanation of the clinical reasoning.
02.
Digital Scan - No Impressions, No Gagging
Every ClearCorrect case begins with a digital intraoral scan, not a traditional putty impression. The scan is faster, more accurate, and eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional impressions. The data is transmitted directly to ClearCorrect’s laboratory for treatment plan generation.
03.
Retention Built Into Every Treatment Plan
ClearCorrect treatment is complete when the last aligner is worn – but the result is only protected when retention is in place. We plan retention options from the beginning of treatment and provide post-treatment retainers before active treatment concludes.
20-22
Hours per day aligners must be worn for on-schedule treatment progress
6-8
Weeks between progress appointments – minimal disruption to your schedule

Meet the Dentists Providing Your ClearCorrect Treatment
Together, Dr. Kasabji and Dr. Engelhardt provide ClearCorrect and Invisalign treatment to adult patients across Wethersfield, Glastonbury, Newington, Rocky Hill, and Hartford County – managing cases ranging from single-arch minor corrections to comprehensive two-arch alignment plans.
Dr. Kasabji
Dr. Kasabji’s comprehensive background in restorative dentistry informs every ClearCorrect case he plans – ensuring that tooth movements are designed around the patient’s bite mechanics, existing restorations, and gum health, not just their cosmetic alignment goals. He reviews every treatment simulation with the same clinical precision he applies to crown and implant planning.
Dr. Engelhardt
Dr. Engelhardt understands that many adult patients have questions about how clear aligners fit into a busy professional or family schedule. He explains the daily wearing requirements, the check-in appointment structure, and the realistic timeline for their specific case in practical, jargon-free language – so patients can make genuinely informed decisions about whether ClearCorrect or Invisalign fits their life.

Is ClearCorrect as effective as Invisalign?
For mild-to-moderate alignment cases—crowding, spacing, minor bite corrections, and post-orthodontic relapse—ClearCorrect delivers clinical results comparable to Invisalign. For complex cases involving significant bite discrepancies, severe rotations, or large vertical corrections, Invisalign’s ClinCheck platform may offer better planning precision. Our clinical evaluation determines which system is more appropriate for your specific case before any recommendation is made.
How long does ClearCorrect treatment take?
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the alignment concern and patient compliance with the 20-22-hour daily wear requirement. Simple single-arch corrections may be completed in as few as 4 to 6 months. Comprehensive two-arch treatments addressing multiple alignment concerns typically require 12 to 18 months. Your complete timeline will be shown in the digital treatment simulation before treatment begins.
Does ClearCorrect hurt?
ClearCorrect aligners apply controlled pressure to move teeth, which is perceptible — particularly during the first few days of each new aligner set. Most patients describe the sensation as tightness or mild pressure rather than pain. This typically resolves within 2 to 3 days. ClearCorrect aligners have smooth, rounded edges and are generally comfortable against the cheek and lip tissue.
Is ClearCorrect covered by dental insurance?
ClearCorrect is typically covered under the same orthodontic benefit as traditional braces and Invisalign — with plans paying a percentage of total treatment cost up to a lifetime orthodontic maximum. Adult orthodontic coverage varies significantly by plan. Our team verifies your specific benefits before treatment begins and provides a complete cost estimate.
