When you have an uneven smile, that doesn’t mean that metal braces are your only option for correcting misalignment. Instead, we could prescribe a cosmetic option that uses clear and comfortable aligners. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about the ClearCorrect® system.
The Potential Risks of Misalignment
When you have crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth, this could make thorough brushing and flossing difficult, and as a result increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The stress on your bite balance due to alignment issues could lead to TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You may also feel uncomfortable with your appearance, which impacts your overall quality of life. But our team can help prevent these complications by correcting your smile using the ClearCorrect® system.
Crafting Custom Orthodontics
Instead of metal brackets and wires, this system will use a series of clear and comfortable aligners to shift your teeth into optimal positions. To begin, our team will examine your smile to see if this is the best choice for you. If so, we will next take detailed digital images and impressions of the teeth, which experts will use to design and craft your aligners from a clear and BPA-free plastic material. Each set in the series will be custom-made for you to ensure a comfortable fit and treatment with precision.
The ClearCorrect® Treatment System
When the aligners are ready, you can start the treatment process. You will wear each set for two weeks, 20 to 22 hours a day. You then wear the next set in the series and continue the process until you obtain optimal results. The aligners will be easy to clean and use, and they can travel with you too! In addition, they are removable, which means you take them out before meals. No worries about food being trapped in orthodontics! Being removable also means an easier time brushing and flossing, so you can better protect your smile during treatment. The system also requires fewer office visits, and the total treatment time could be as little as one year, as opposed to the two or more years braces require.
If you have any questions about how we tackle your misalignment with our clear and cozy plastic aligners, or if you would like to start treatment now, then contact our office today to learn more and get started. We want you to feel confident in your appearance and enjoy better oral health too!
