Straight teeth. Nobody has to know.
ClearCorrect clear aligners straighten crowding, spacing, and bite problems with nearly invisible, removable trays — no brackets, no wires. Planned in 3D by The Smile Architect®, so the finished smile fits your face, not just your bite.
Modern orthodontics, made discreet.
ClearCorrect invisible braces are a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gradually guide your teeth into proper alignment — without metal brackets or wires. Each set is tailored to fit snugly, worn about two weeks, then swapped for the next. Because they're removable, you eat what you like and brush and floss normally.
A straight smile is more than a boost to appearance — misaligned teeth contribute to gum disease, uneven wear, and hygiene problems. At Smile Maker of Texas in Plano, Dr. Ritchie Beougher — a world-renowned cosmetic dentist with 34+ years of experience and more than 3,000 cosmetic cases — plans every aligner case with 3D imaging so the result is healthy and beautiful: a smile composed for your face by The Smile Architect®.
Five reasons to go clear.
Discreet
Crafted from clear material — a subtle, nearly invisible alternative to metal braces.
Comfortable
Smooth plastic trays with no brackets or wires to irritate cheeks or gums.
Custom
Every set is made to fit your teeth precisely from digital scans and a 3D plan.
Hygienic
Remove the trays to eat, brush, and floss — no food traps, no special tools.
Effective
Aligners move teeth predictably; many patients see significant improvement within months.
Finished by The Smile Architect®
Straight is the beginning. Dr. Beougher plans the final position of every tooth for proportion, symmetry, and the way your smile frames your face.
Clear aligners can correct more than you think.
- Crowding — teeth too close together or overlapping
- Spacing — gaps between one or several teeth
- Deep bite — top front teeth overlap the bottom too far
- Overjet — top teeth protrude beyond the bottom front teeth
- Crossbite — upper teeth fall inside the lower teeth
- Open bite — back teeth touch while front teeth don't
- Midline shift and edge-to-edge bites
Suitable for both teenagers and adults who want an inconspicuous path to a straighter smile. Braces remain the right choice for some complex cases — and we'll tell you honestly which is best.
Four steps to straight.
Initial Consultation
Dr. Beougher assesses your teeth, explores your goals, and takes impressions or digital scans to build a plan tailored to you.
3D Treatment Plan
Advanced imaging maps the exact movement of each tooth. You receive a series of custom trays for the whole journey.
Wear Your Aligners
Each set is worn about two weeks, 20–22 hours a day, before moving to the next.
Follow-Up & Retention
Periodic visits keep your progress on track and let Dr. Beougher refine the plan. Retainers hold your new smile for good.

Everything to know about clear aligners in Plano.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
It depends on complexity. Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months; minor front-teeth cases may qualify for our 2–4 month retainer technique. Dr. Beougher gives you a specific timeline at your assessment.
Do clear aligners hurt?
You may feel mild pressure for a day or two with each new tray — a sign the teeth are moving. There are no brackets or wires to irritate your mouth.
How many hours a day do I wear them?
20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything but water, and brush and floss.
Can clear aligners fix severe orthodontic issues?
Aligners handle mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and many bite issues very well. Some complex cases are best treated with braces, and Dr. Beougher will tell you plainly which is right.
Will aligners affect my speech?
A slight lisp is possible for the first day or two; it disappears quickly as you adjust.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse with lukewarm water and brush gently with a soft toothbrush — never hot water, which can warp the plastic. Brush your teeth before reinserting.
Is there a minimum or maximum age?
Aligners work for teens with most adult teeth erupted and for adults of any age. There is no upper limit for healthy teeth and gums.
Are there dietary restrictions?
No — remove the aligners to eat and drink, then brush and reinsert. That's the advantage over braces.
How much do clear aligners cost in Plano?
Cost depends on case complexity and length. Your complimentary consultation ends with an exact figure, and financing is available. About our fees.
