Has it always been your dream to have a perfect smile? When you have crooked teeth, it can make you feel self-conscious while also hindering your oral care. Teeth that aren’t aligned correctly can be difficult to clean effectively. So when you straighten your teeth, you’re not just giving yourself a more beautiful smile. You’re also investing in your overall oral health. ClearCorrect aligners are the metal-free solution you’ve been looking for.
Sometimes called “clear braces,” these transparent aligners are made with almost invisible plastic. The aligners snap onto your teeth and apply gentle pressure that helps gradually reposition them. Clear aligners are an excellent teeth-straightening option for people with mild to moderate malocclusion or crooked teeth.Â
ClearCorrect aligners are sets of customized trays that fit over your teeth. Slowly, over time, the aligners apply the pressure needed to move your teeth to straighter positions. Your teeth are moved mere fractions of millimeters at a time. ClearCorrect aligners need to be worn for 22 hours every day to work effectively.
While originally designed for teeth straightening, ClearCorrect aligners can also help with these dental problems:
ClearCorrect is made with a tri-layer material, with two layers of durable polymer and one elastomeric inner layer. In layman’s terms, this means your clear aligners are super durable. In fact, they can sustain four times the wear-and-tear of those made with single-layer polymers.
ClearCorrect aligners have been proven to be less prone to staining than some of the competing brands. While other brands may turn yellow or coffee-colored over time, ClearCorrect aligners stay clearer for longer.
As anyone who had metal braces in the past knows, there are some foods you can’t eat with these old-school braces. One of the most appealing aspects of clear aligners is that they can be removed when you eat and do your oral care. This means you can enjoy your favorite foods. It’s also great to be able to remove the aligners when you brush and floss your teeth.
With ClearCorrect aligners, you’re not getting a one-size-fits-all teeth-straightening method. Rather, these aligners are customized for your precise needs. Your dentist can incorporate a number of different treatment strategies to help you achieve a straighter smile, from simple fixes to complex solutions.
One question we often get is whether or not dental insurance plans cover clear aligners. The good news is that plans that cover orthodontics often offer the same coverage for both metal braces and clear aligners. Be sure to check your plan carefully because coverage can vary from one provider to another. The team at All Coast Dental can help you determine if you have orthodontic coverage.
