ClearCorrect
Iconic Smiles is delighted to offer ClearCorrect™, the latest in orthodontic care, at our Bellerose, NY office. Led by Dr. Daniel Avezoff, our team is dedicated to providing personalized dental solutions, including the ClearCorrect™ system, designed to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably.
What Is ClearCorrect™?
ClearCorrect™ is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, custom-made, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. It’s an excellent alternative to traditional braces for those who prefer a less noticeable orthodontic solution.
Is ClearCorrect™ Better Than Braces?
While both ClearCorrect™ and traditional braces are effective in straightening teeth, ClearCorrect™ offers several advantages:
- Aesthetics: The aligners are virtually invisible.
- Comfort: Without metal brackets, they are more comfortable to wear.
- Convenience: Aligners can be removed for eating and brushing.
- Oral Hygiene: Easier to maintain oral cleanliness compared to braces

All-on-4 FAQs
How Long Do I Need to Wear ClearCorrect™ Retainers?
After completing your ClearCorrect™ treatment, you’ll need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. The duration varies per individual, but typically, retainers are worn full-time for a few months, followed by nighttime wear indefinitely to ensure lasting results.
Can I switch to my next aligner set early?
We understand you might be eager to reach your dream smile, however, we strongly recommend that you don’t rush the treatment. Moving ahead of schedule risks causing permanent damage to your teeth, such as tooth shrinkage or instability of the tooth, which can increase the risk of your teeth falling out.
How old do I have to be to use ClearCorrect™?
Once your full set of adult teeth has grown in, you are eligible to use ClearCorrect™. It’s a great option for teens and adults!
How long is a ClearCorrect™ treatment?
Treatment times will vary depending on each patient’s mouth. Mild cases can be as few as nine months, but more complex cases could last closer to 18 or more. Dr. Avezoff will be able to give a reliable estimate for your specific case as you create your treatment plan.
How many hours a day do I need to wear ClearCorrect™ clear aligners?
For the treatment to be effective, you’ll need to wear your ClearCorrect™ aligners for about 22 hours a day. This suggests only removing your aligners for meals and for brushing your teeth. It is not recommended to eat while wearing your aligners — this also means you might have to give up chewing gum for the duration of your treatment unless it’s confined around meal times. Remember: the longer you wear your aligners, the quicker you’ll finish the treatment!
