Do you want a straighter, more aligned smile but don’t like the look and feel of traditional braces? We understand your concerns. While metal braces are effective in correcting misalignments, they come with the drawback of being visibly fixed on your teeth throughout the treatment. This impacts smile aesthetics, interfering with your social and professional life. However, it’s essential to address teeth misalignments promptly, as they can worsen over time, impacting oral health and increasing the risk of cavities and gum issues.

If you’ve delayed orthodontic treatment due to the need for a more discreet option, ClearCorrect aligners might be ideal for you. These clear and removable aligners gradually straighten your smile with minimal disruption to your daily life. Interested? Read on to find out more about ClearCorrect aligners.

What is ClearCorrect?

ClearCorrect treatment involves using custom-made, clear aligners to correct misalignments. They are made of a transparent plastic material for improved comfort and durability. The custom fit ensures a snug fit, and the absence of wires and brackets with easy removability allows for a convenient treatment. A great option for teenagers and adults looking for an alternative to traditional braces, ClearCorrect aligners offer a subtle teeth straightening solution.

Some of the issues you can correct with ClearCorect aligners include:

• Overcrowded and crooked teeth
• Spaced-out or gapped teeth
• Irregular bites (mild/minor)
• Cross and open bites

The ClearCorrect Treatment Process

Your ClearCorrect treatment will begin with an initial consultation to assess the condition of your teeth, jaw and oral health. This allows the dentist to determine your eligibility and discuss timelines, costs and treatment expectations. Images, x-rays and teeth impressions will be taken to create a personalised treatment plan and prepare your custom-made aligners. 

You will be given a series of aligners to wear for each stage of the treatment. Each set must be worn for two weeks, 22 hours daily, before moving on to the next one. As your treatment progresses, you will be able to see your teeth shift into position and become more even. 

Some guidelines to remember include:

• Remove your aligners before eating and drinking anything except water. 
• Brush or clean your teeth before putting your aligners back on.
• Consistency is key to the success of your treatment, so wear your aligners for the required 22 hours daily.
• Treatment duration can vary for each patient depending on their teeth condition and misalignment. 
• You may experience initial discomfort at the beginning. This usually wears off as your teeth adjust to wearing the aligners. 
• Use cold water and a soft toothbrush to keep your aligners clean to prevent plaque accumulation. Always store them in their container. 
• Never miss follow-up appointments; they allow the dentist to monitor your progress. 

At the end of your treatment, you will be given clear retainers to help cement your new smile.

Is ClearCorrect Right for You?

Orthodontic treatments require patience and commitment to see them through the end. That’s why it’s essential to consider your lifestyle, comfort level, convenience and individual preferences before settling on an option. 

Here are a few things to consider before getting ClearCorrect:

Aesthetics

ClearCorrect can be compared to invisible braces, offering successful and predictable treatment outcomes without the obvious visibility of metal on your teeth. Those who prefer a more discreet and flexible treatment can benefit from ClearCorrect aligners. They can be removed for social events and are virtually undetectable when worn, having almost no impact on your smile’s appearance.

Type of Misalignment

ClearCorrect aligners can only correct mild to moderate teeth misalignment. Braces may be more suitable if you have a severe under or overbite. Your dentist can advise you on the right treatment according to your specific needs. 

Commitment 

While braces are fixed onto the teeth and can only be removed or adjusted by your dentist, ClearCorrect aligners are removable and must be worn for 22 hours daily. Not wearing them for the required time can affect your treatment and results. So, make sure you are committed to following your dentist’s instructions for optimal results. 

Benefits of ClearCorrect Aligner Treatment

Some of the benefits of ClearCorrect aligners include:

Unnoticeable: Their discreet appearance allows you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing your aligners or affecting your smile’s appearance.

Comfortable: ClearCorrect aligners are custom-made for your teeth for a seamless fit and a comfortable wearing experience.

Flexible: They can be removed for brushing, flossing, enjoying your favourite foods or for special events, giving you a flexible teeth straightening treatment.

Convenient: You’re given a series of pre-made aligners at the beginning of your treatment. This means fewer visits to the dentist and the convenience of changing them as per your dentist’s instructions. 

Easy Maintenance: Clear aligners are easier to clean, and so are your teeth when no wires and brackets are fixed onto them.

Predictable Results: ClearCorrect treatment is created using advanced 3D technology, predicting your tooth movement for predictable and successful outcomes.
