ClearCorrect aligner treatment

ClearCorrect, owned by the Swiss dental company Straumann, is worth considering if your own dentist offers it. Practices that publish ClearCorrect fees charge roughly $2,900 to $4,700, against $3,500 to $8,800 for comprehensive Invisalign in our sample, but packages and inclusions differ, so compare quotes for the same case.

Price: $2,900 to $4,713Set by your practice; fees we sampled ran from $2,900 to $4,713. The lab package your practice orders decides how many revisions and retainers are covered. Details
How you start: An exam and scan or impressions with your dentist or orthodontist.
Who checks your progress: Your treating dentist or orthodontist, in person at the practice.

Price checked October 26, 2026. Review updated October 26, 2026. A researched review of published information; we have not tried this service ourselves.

Your dentist examines you, sends your scan to ClearCorrect and approves a 3D plan before any aligners are made. You are the practice's patient, and the practice sets your fee. Some practices tie their prices directly to ClearCorrect's packages, and what your fee covers depends on which package your dentist orders, so ask which one your quote is based on.

Price

ClearCorrect does not publish patient prices. Three US practices that publish their own ClearCorrect fees:

Practice	Fees published	What the practice says is included
Gold Star Dental, Fort Worth, Texas	Mild (under 5 months, one arch or relapse) $2,900; moderate (6 to 12 months) $3,800; comprehensive (1 to 2 years) $4,500	One, two or four retainer sets respectively. 0% financing through Cherry, or in-house over 6 to 12 months with $1,500 down.
Bookcliff Family Dental, Grand Junction, Colorado	Both arches $4,713; one arch $3,176	Consultation, scan, plan and aligners; retainers recommended at the end, inclusion not stated
Karent Sierra Dentistry and MedSpa	ONE package $3,990; UNLIMITED package $4,400; FLEX $250 per setup plus $250 per aligner or retainer	Attachments, IPR and supervision. ONE covers up to 24 aligner sets, one revision and one retainer set within a year; UNLIMITED covers five years.

Checked October 26, 2026. Three general dental practices are a limited sample, not an average, and each defines its tiers differently. The third practice shows the link to ClearCorrect's own packages most clearly. Gold Star's in-house plans add no interest; if you use a lender, ask for the APR and total repayable. Dental insurance with orthodontic cover, HSA and FSA funds may reduce what you pay.

How treatment works

Exam and records. Your dentist or orthodontist examines you and takes a 3D scan or impressions, plus any X-rays they need.
Plan and approval. ClearCorrect builds a 3D plan, which your dentist reviews in its ClearPilot software, asks for changes if needed and approves it before anything is made. Ask to see the plan, and agree the fee and package before approval.
Waiting for aligners. ClearCorrect makes the aligners and ships them to the practice. The AAO says manufacturing "can take several weeks". On UNLIMITED packages, aligners may arrive in phases rather than all at once.
Fitting. The dentist may bond engagers, ClearCorrect's name for small tooth-colored bumps that help the aligners grip, and may use elastics or IPR, polishing a little enamel between teeth to make space.
Active treatment. ClearCorrect recommends wearing aligners about 22 hours a day, taking them out to eat and brush. Your dentist decides whether you change every one, two or three weeks; ClearCorrect's default is two. The AAO says check-ups are typically every six to ten weeks.
Revisions and retainers. If teeth do not track, the dentist orders a revision, a new set of aligners from your current position. At the end you move to retainers.

If you lose or break an aligner, call the practice and keep your previous aligners; you may be asked to wear one while a replacement is made. Replacement aligners are not included in any ClearCorrect package, so the practice may charge for them. Our guides cover cleaning aligners and eating and drinking.

ClearCorrect packages

Behind your fee, the dentist orders one of six packages from ClearCorrect. These are the dentist's costs, not your contract:

Package	Aligners	Revisions	Retainers	Time limit
FLEX	Exactly what is planned, paid per aligner	Extra	Extra	None
MINI	Up to 12 steps	One	Not included	6 months
ONE	Up to 24 steps	One	One set	1 year
TWO	Up to 48 steps	Two	Two sets	2 years
UNLIMITED 3	No limit	Unlimited	Two sets, plus remote monitoring	3 years
UNLIMITED 5	No limit	Unlimited	Two sets, plus remote monitoring	5 years

Replacements for lost or broken aligners are extra on every package. After a package's time limit, more aligners and retainers cost the dentist standard FLEX prices, which may be passed on to you. ClearCorrect lets dentists upgrade to a bigger package partway through, which can change your fee.

Your practice decides how much of this cover it passes on: ask which package your plan uses, how many revisions and retainers your contract covers, and until when.

Gold Star includes up to four retainer sets in its comprehensive fee, more than any ClearCorrect package, while other practices include none.

Clinical oversight

Your dentist or orthodontist is responsible for your treatment from the exam to the end. ClearCorrect makes the aligners and supports the dentist but has no contract with you, so questions, problems and complaints go to the practice, and then to your state dental board if the practice cannot resolve them.

All three practices in the price table are general dental practices. For bite problems, a growing child or a case another dentist has called complex, it is worth seeing an orthodontist, who has two to three years of specialty training after dental school. On the UNLIMITED packages the practice can also check progress through photos you send, but that does not replace a visit when your dentist wants to see you.

You will need retainers after treatment to stop teeth moving back, and your dentist sets the type and how often to wear them. Most ClearCorrect packages include one or two retainer sets for the dentist; MINI and FLEX include none. Ask how many sets your fee includes and what a replacement costs after that.

Revisions follow the package rules above.

ClearCorrect's terms say it does not refund the dentist if a package ends early, and it has no patient refund policy, so refunds, transfers if you move and changes of plan depend entirely on your practice contract.

Ask for those terms in writing.

Alternatives worth comparing

Option	How it differs from ClearCorrect	Price context
Invisalign	The best-known dentist-provided system, offered by more orthodontists	Comprehensive fees of about $4,700 to $4,900 at two orthodontic practices we checked
Spark	Ormco's system, often offered by orthodontists	Priced the same as Invisalign at one practice
Motto	A fixed published price at Aspen Dental offices for mild to moderate cases	$2,999, including one retainer set
CandidPro	A dentist's exam with an orthodontist review and home photo check-ins	Practice quote
Metal or ceramic braces	Fixed, so they work without daily wear discipline; more visible	Often $4,000 to $4,600 at orthodontic practices

If your dentist offers ClearCorrect and another system, ask for both fees and what each includes. Our guide to clear aligners and braces compares the two approaches.

What the evidence shows

Older claims that its aligners move teeth a set distance per tray, or are made from X-rays, are wrong: aligners are made from a scan or impressions to a plan the dentist approves. Results depend mainly on the dentist's planning and your wear.

Online reviews mostly describe practices, so read reviews of the dentist you are considering. We have not treated patients with ClearCorrect or surveyed its customers.

Who this may suit

ClearCorrect suits someone whose own dentist offers it and who wants a dentist-provided aligner and wants to compare its fee with an Invisalign quote for the same case, particularly for mild to moderate cases. It works best when the practice is clear about which package it is ordering and passes on its revisions and retainers.

For complex bite problems, compare it with an orthodontist's quote for Invisalign, Spark or braces, and weigh the clinician's experience as much as the price.

Questions worth asking before paying

Which ClearCorrect package is my quote based on?
How many revisions and retainer sets does my fee include, and until when?
What do you charge to replace a lost or broken aligner?
Are you a general dentist or an orthodontist, and how many ClearCorrect cases do you treat?
How often will I change aligners and come in for check-ups?
What are the refund terms if I stop treatment or move?

Bottom line

ClearCorrect is a dentist-provided aligner system whose published practice fees start below many Invisalign fees in our samples, though packages differ. The brand matters less than the package your dentist orders and what the practice passes on, so get the package name, included revisions, retainer sets and replacement charges in writing, and compare at least one other quote.
