How ClearCorrect® Works
Instead of using metal brackets and wires to move your teeth, ClearCorrect® uses a series of clear aligners to slowly shift your teeth to their new places. You will wear each set for about two weeks before moving on to the next one. Over time, your teeth will gradually move to their aligned locations. Unlike traditional braces, you won’t need to have anything tightened throughout your treatment, but you will still need to come to the office to ensure that the treatment is going as planned.
Indications for ClearCorrect®
ClearCorrect® can correct a variety of different alignment issues. Here are some of the most common ones:
Crowded Teeth
For teeth that have become crowded and/or overlapping, ClearCorrect® is an excellent solution. Clear aligners apply gentle pressure to different parts of the teeth to shift them to a more aligned position. This helps to prevent problems, like cavities and gum disease, that are common in people who have overcrowded teeth.
Gaps Between Teeth
When teeth are too far apart, gaps can become apparent. They also put you at much higher risk for oral health issues and tooth damage due to food debris and plaque becoming easily trapped and more difficult to remove. ClearCorrect® can move your teeth to be the perfect distance apart.
Bite Alignment
If your bite is misaligned, you can develop issues, like temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) and bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding). ClearCorrect® is effective when it comes to correcting overbites, underbites, crossbites, and more!
The Benefits of ClearCorrect®
If it’s determined that you make a good candidate for the treatment, here are some of the benefits that you can expect to experience:
- Comfort: No brackets and wires mean no soft-tissue irritation. Occasional discomfort is normal, but it’s short-lived and easily manageable. You can even start a new set of aligners before bed so you can sleep through the initial soreness.
- No Eating Restriction: As long as you remove your aligners beforehand and take the time to brush and floss before putting them back in, you can eat pretty much anything you want.
- Discreet: Clear aligners are virtually undetectable. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to tell that you’re wearing them.
How Much Does ClearCorrect® Cost?
Many factors contribute to the cost of your ClearCorrect® treatment, like the complexity of your misalignment and bite issues, your age, and how often you wear your aligners.
