If you’re looking to straighten your smile without traditional metal braces, clear aligners offer a comfortable, virtually invisible way to get there. At Smiles of Fort Myers, we offer ClearCorrect clear aligners, a system of custom-fitted, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into a straighter, healthier alignment.
ClearCorrect vs. Invisalign: How the Two Compare
Invisalign is the clear aligner brand most patients have already heard of, so it is a fair question when they see we offer ClearCorrect instead. Both systems use a series of custom, removable clear trays to move teeth over time. We chose ClearCorrect because it delivers a comparable result at a generally more affordable price, which is why it is worth understanding how the two stack up.
| ClearCorrect (What We Offer) | Invisalign (For Comparison) | |
|---|---|---|
| What It Is | A clear aligner system using a series of custom, removable trays | The best-known clear aligner brand, using the same tray-based approach |
| Cost | Generally a more affordable option | Typically priced higher for comparable treatment |
| Treatment Approach | Custom trays, typically changed every 1–2 weeks | Custom trays on a similar changing schedule |
| What to Expect | 20–22 hours of daily wear, checkups roughly every 6–8 weeks | Comparable daily wear time and checkup schedule |
Every patient’s smile is different, so the best way to know what to expect for your own treatment is a consultation, where we can map out your specific timeline and cost.
Wearing clear aligners is much less restrictive than traditional braces. Many adults choose this approach not only because it is discreet, but also because there is no need to change your diet to avoid foods that could damage braces. Clear aligners are free of braces and brackets, using a removable tray you take out prior to meals. They also fit well into busy adult schedules, since there is no need for frequent visits for wire tightening. Most patients simply change to a new aligner tray every couple of weeks.
Discreet
Virtually invisible trays that are free of braces and brackets.

You will wear your aligners nearly all of the time, with the exception of about two hours per day. Treatment length is different for everyone, but most patients can achieve their ideal smiles within one to two years. During that time, you can expect to make occasional dental visits to monitor your progress.
Following your treatment, you will no longer need to wear your aligner trays. However, you will need to wear a retainer each day to help protect your new smile. It is also important to continue visiting your dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings.
Cost depends on how much movement your teeth need and how long treatment takes, so a consultation is the best way to get an accurate number. We offer 0% APR financing and an in-house Smile Program membership plan for patients without dental insurance, and we accept most insurance plans.
