Clear Correct aligners are braces that use clear trays to align the teeth. They are made of a customized blend of plastics manufactured depending on the particular molds of the patient’s mouth. Clear Correct is a piece of plastic in its solid form that is strong enough to exert pressure on the specific part of the teeth to move them into the desired position gradually. There are many benefits of Clear Correct and Westmoreland Dental can help figure out if it is right for you.
Dentists prescribe Clear Correct after your consultation. A dentist will first assess your dental formula and your overall oral health and conclude the impressions of your mouth. The dentist will customize your aligners for a perfect fit. The treatment plan will be designed by your dentist with your help, so that you are both comfortable with it.
The aligner trays used to make the Clear Correct are supposed to be changed after every one or two weeks. After every change, the tray will feel a little different because it is designed to continue aligning your teeth. Once your Clear Correct is ready, you are required to wear it all day or most of the time for better results, although it is easily removable on special occasions and when eating or brushing. Although aligners are solid, they are braces and not retainers; they move your teeth to shape your jaw and mouth, while retainers hold your teeth in place.
Benefits of Invisalign
- It is almost invisible and not conspicuous when you smile.
- It is convenient to take care of your teeth since the aligners are easily removable.
- Adjustments are not painful since you only swap your aligners as prescribed by your doctor.
- The doctor visits are fewer than other teeth procedures since the doctor will only be monitoring the alignment progress.
- The Clear Correct process takes less time than traditional braces and, in most cases, takes less than 18 months.
- Handling and caring for aligners is cheaper as they require optional soaking and gentle brushing.
