ClearCorrect information

Everyone deserves a beautiful, properly aligned smile that gives them confidence, and ClearCorrect is one of the most effective ways to effectively and efficiently address minor malocclusions and issues with crooked or overcrowded teeth. The following is everything to know about ClearCorrect treatment.

An overview of ClearCorrect

ClearCorrect is an orthodontic treatment process that utilizes custom, transparent clear aligners to address cosmetic complications, such as crooked teeth, crowded teeth, or bite issues. The treatment process is different from traditional braces, and there are many benefits to ClearCorrect. Perhaps most notably, ClearCorrect aligners are transparent, which means others around cannot tell the patient is wearing them. The patient can also remove the aligners at any time, which is incredibly convenient while eating, brushing teeth, or giving an important presentation at work or school.

How the process works

The ClearCorrect process is simple, and it begins with an initial consultation at an orthodontic or dentist's office that offers treatment. During the first visit, the dentist or orthodontist examines the patient's mouth to determine if they are a good candidate. Afterward, the treatment process begins with a dental impression, which is used to customize the fit of the aligners. The length of treatment varies from less than a year to two years, depending on the severity of the cosmetic concern. The patient is given new aligners approximately every three weeks until treatment is complete. After treatment, patients are required to wear a retainer, which generally starts as multiple hours each day and then slowly decreases until it only needs to be worn while sleeping.

When to consider ClearCorrect

ClearCorrect is perfect for most patients with minor jaw or teeth alignment issues. Dentists and orthodontists use ClearCorrect to treat a variety of issues, including the following:

• Crooked teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Gaps in teeth
• Bite complications

Perhaps the main reason patients choose ClearCorrect is to fix issues with the alignment of their teeth, but the treatment also works for bite complications, such as an overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Also, most adults seeking teeth straightening prefer ClearCorrect over traditional braces as it allows them to straighten their smile more discretely.

Candidates for ClearCorrect

Many adults and teens are excellent candidates for invisible aligners like ClearCorrect braces. Children are typically not as suitable for the treatment because their mouths are still growing. Teeth in the earlier stages of development make the aligner process much more complex, reducing the likelihood of having positive final results.

Additionally, the candidates who achieve more successful results usually have mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues. Patients who have severe crowding, underbites, overbites, or crossbites may need more aggressive treatment. In these cases, we may recommend another treatment followed by ClearCorrect treatment.

Benefits of ClearCorrect

There are many reasons to choose ClearCorrect braces. They are a great option for patients in need of teeth straightening who want a more discreet treatment option. Some of the benefits of ClearCorrect braces are their:

• Boost to Confidence: Changing one’s smile can change the way a person lives. Many people suffer from low self-esteem related to crooked teeth. ClearCorrect braces can be an effective way to overcome insecurities based on orthodontic issues.
• Effectiveness: Treatments like ClearCorrect braces are typically effective at realigning teeth. They are most effective when the patient carefully follows the s instructions. It may also be necessary to wear a retainer after treatment to ensure the permanence of the results.
• Removability: Although patients should keep their ClearCorrect braces in as instructed, they are removable. You may remove the trays when eating or drinking certain fluids for extra comfort, making dental hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces.
• Subtle appearance: ClearCorrect braces are a subtle alternative to traditional braces. They consist of crack- and stain-resistant, clear plastic, rendering them almost completely invisible when in place.
• Support for Oral Health: Misaligned teeth can be harmful to oral health. Patients with misaligned teeth are more likely to have dental problems and a strained mandible area. Correcting misalignments with ClearCorrect braces may lead to a healthier mouth for many patients.
