Clear Aligners
The Clear Alternative for a Straighter Smile
Our doctors are very happy to offer both ClearCorrect™ and Invisalign™ invisible aligners, innovative
solutions that allow you to have straight teeth in as little as 9 - 15 months! These aligners can correct crowding,
wide spacing, underbite, overbite, or crossbite.
Clear aligners use advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology to prepare your entire treatment plan, starting with the
current positions of your teeth through to your final smile. From this plan, clear thermoplastic aligners similar to
teeth-whitening trays are created. They are custom made to fit your teeth exactly. When you place the first set of
aligners, gentle forces move your teeth gently into their new position. Approximately two weeks later, you replace them
with the next set of aligners and progress through treatment for about a year. You only need to come into the office
for evaluation every four to eight weeks. Total treatment time is based on your personal needs and goals.
A Boost in Confidence
The clear aligner system has some distinct advantages. The best part is that no one will know you’re straightening your
teeth because the aligners are so clear, it renders them almost invisible! People would have to know you’re wearing them,
or look extremely closely, to be able to detect them. This gives you much more confidence in your smile while you are in
active treatment.
Comfort is another benefit of ClearCorrect and Invisalign. The aligners are all in one piece, with no metal wires or brackets
to be checked and adjusted, so you get to spend less time in the dentist’s chair. Temporary mouth irritation is also reduced
or eliminated.
Then there’s the convenience factor. Though you wear the aligners all day as well as during sleep, they can be easily removed
for eating and brushing. You can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, with no food restrictions. And keeping your
teeth clean and free of plaque is just as easy as it was before treatment, because there are no braces to get in the way of
brushing and flossing.
