Straighten Your Smile Discreetly with ClearCorrect

If you have been thinking about straighter teeth but want to skip the wires and brackets, ClearCorrect clear aligners might be exactly what you have been looking for. At Rushmore Dental, we offer ClearCorrect as part of our cosmetic dentistry Rapid City patients count on for results that feel as good as they look. Whether your teeth are mildly crowded, spaced unevenly, or slightly misaligned, ClearCorrect gives you a clear, comfortable path to a confident smile.

What Is ClearCorrect?

ClearCorrect is an FDA-cleared orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, BPA-free plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Each set of aligners is worn for a few weeks, then swapped for the next in the series. Because they are nearly invisible and removable, most people around you will never even notice you are in treatment.

Unlike traditional metal braces, ClearCorrect aligners fit seamlessly into your daily life. You can eat what you want, brush and floss normally, and feel comfortable during treatment without the soreness that often comes with metal brackets and wires.

What to Expect During ClearCorrect Treatment

  • Before Treatment: Your journey begins with a consultation at Rushmore Dental. Dr. Tim Kelly will evaluate your bite, take digital impressions or scans, and determine whether ClearCorrect is the right fit for your smile goals. If you are a good candidate, a custom treatment plan is created that maps out every planned movement from start to finish.
  • During Treatment: You will wear each set of aligners for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and for your oral hygiene routine. Periodic checkups at our Rapid City office allow Dr. Kelly to monitor your progress and hand off your next sets of aligners.
  • After Treatment: Once your final aligner set is complete, you will transition to a retainer to maintain your results. This step is important for keeping your teeth in their new positions long term.

Technology and Comfort at Rushmore Dental

Dr. Kelly and the team at Rushmore Dental use digital treatment planning technology to map the entire ClearCorrect process before your first aligner is even fabricated. This means you can see a preview of your expected results and understand each stage of your treatment from the very beginning.

For patients who feel anxious about dental visits or orthodontic consultations, we offer sedation dentistry options to help you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout your care.

Frequently Asked Questions About ClearCorrect

Is ClearCorrect painful?

Most patients experience mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, which is a sign the trays are working. This typically fades within a day or two. It is far more comfortable for most people than traditional metal braces.

How long does ClearCorrect treatment take?

Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of your case. Many patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, though some cases may be shorter or longer. Dr. Kelly will give you a clearer timeline during your consultation.

Does Rushmore Dental accept insurance for ClearCorrect?

Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits may cover a portion of ClearCorrect treatment. Our team is happy to help verify your insurance and walk you through your options. We also offer payment plans to make treatment accessible.
