At Space Dental, we are committed to offering our patients the latest in orthodontic technology, and ClearCorrect is one of the best options available for those seeking a discreet, comfortable way to straighten their teeth. ClearCorrect uses clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into alignment, making it an excellent choice for patients who want a more subtle alternative to traditional braces.
In this post, we’ll take a closer look at how ClearCorrect works, its benefits, and why it might be the right solution for you.
What Is ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect is a clear aligner system that helps straighten teeth without the need for metal braces. The aligners are made from a clear, durable plastic material, making them nearly invisible when worn. Over time, ClearCorrect aligners gradually shift your teeth into the desired position by applying gentle pressure. This system can address a range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
How Does ClearCorrect Work?
The ClearCorrect process starts with a consultation at Space Dental. During this visit, we’ll take impressions, X-rays, and digital scans of your teeth to design a personalized treatment plan. Once your aligners are created, you’ll receive a series of custom-made trays that you’ll wear for about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush your teeth.
Each set of aligners is worn for one to two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. With each new set, your teeth will gradually move closer to their final, ideal position. The total treatment time varies based on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete their ClearCorrect treatment within 12 to 24 months.
The Benefits of ClearCorrect
Nearly Invisible Appearance: ClearCorrect aligners are made from transparent plastic, making them an excellent choice for patients who want a discreet option for straightening their teeth. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them!
Removable Aligners: Unlike traditional braces, ClearCorrect aligners are completely removable. This allows you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions and makes brushing and flossing easier, helping you maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
Comfortable to Wear: ClearCorrect aligners are made from smooth, lightweight plastic that won’t irritate your gums or cheeks like metal brackets and wires often do. Additionally, since there are no wires to tighten, many patients find ClearCorrect to be more comfortable than traditional braces.
Fewer Office Visits: With ClearCorrect, you’ll typically only need to visit Space Dental every 6-8 weeks to check your progress and receive your next set of aligners. This makes it a convenient option for patients with busy schedules.
Customized Treatment Plans: ClearCorrect offers flexible treatment options based on your specific needs. Whether you need minor adjustments or more extensive treatment, ClearCorrect can be tailored to suit your case.
ClearCorrect vs. Traditional Braces
One of the main advantages of ClearCorrect is its discreet appearance. While traditional metal braces are highly effective, they are more visible and can sometimes cause discomfort. ClearCorrect provides the same great results as traditional braces, but with the added benefit of being nearly invisible and more comfortable to wear. Additionally, the removable nature of ClearCorrect aligners allows for better oral hygiene and more flexibility when it comes to eating.
Is ClearCorrect Right for You?
ClearCorrect is suitable for both adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the hassle of traditional braces. It can treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including:
Crooked or crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
During your consultation, the team at Space Dental will assess your teeth and help you decide if ClearCorrect is the right option for you. We’ll explain the treatment process in detail and create a customized plan that meets your needs and goals.
How to Get Started with ClearCorrect
Starting your ClearCorrect journey is simple. Here’s how the process works:
Consultation: Schedule a consultation at Space Dental, where we’ll evaluate your oral health and determine if ClearCorrect is a suitable option for you.
Custom Treatment Plan: If you’re a candidate for ClearCorrect, we’ll take impressions, X-rays, and digital scans of your teeth to create your custom treatment plan. This plan outlines how your teeth will shift over time and how long the treatment will take.
Receive Your Aligners: Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll receive your first set and begin wearing them for the recommended 20-22 hours per day.
Progress Check-ups: You’ll visit Space Dental every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next sets of aligners.
Completion: Once you’ve worn all your aligners, you’ll have a straighter, more confident smile! We may recommend wearing retainers afterward to ensure your teeth stay in their new position.
