ClearCorrect Teeth Straightening, Adult Orthodontics at Its Best!
If you’ve had crooked teeth for some time, the thought of a perfectly-aligned smile can be exhilarating! Yet, it’s important to choose the right orthodontic system to achieve your smile goals. If you live in the San Diego, California, area, you can turn to All Coast Dental for help correcting orthodontic issues and perfecting your smile. Drs. Julie and Joseph Boulos recommend ClearCorrect teeth aligners for adults to get you the smile of your dreams. These FAQs explain more about this system and how it can benefit you.
How do ClearCorrect teeth aligners work?
Clear aligner therapy works similarly to traditional braces but without the irritating brackets and wires. In its place are one-piece, clear, plastic aligners that are easy to use, comfortable, and convenient. When the aligners are worn, they put gentle pressure on your teeth, forcing them to move into a straighter position. Your San Diego dentists will have a series of aligners custom-made for your teeth, and we’ll map out a treatment plan to meet your unique orthodontic needs.
What are the advantages of clear aligner therapy over traditional braces?
ClearCorrect aligners are composed of a flexible, thermoplastic material that’s biocompatible with your teeth. There are no metal wires or parts poking your gums or cheeks. The clear aligners are practically invisible on your teeth and won’t detract from your appearance. When you want to eat, you can remove the aligners to enjoy your snacks and meals. Afterward, you can brush your teeth thoroughly before replacing the aligners again.
How do I care for my aligners?
You can clean your aligners with a special solution or clear liquid soap and rinse thoroughly before returning them to your teeth. If you keep up with your oral hygiene, your aligners won’t gather food particles from your teeth. To avoid staining, you should also remove your aligners when drinking coffee, soda, tea, or red wine.
How long does ClearCorrect orthodontic treatment last?
Every treatment is different depending on the problems that need to be addressed. For example, minor problems with gapped teeth can be corrected faster than bite issues. By sticking to your treatment plan and wearing the aligners as directed (at least 20–22 hours daily), you will see progress in straightening your smile throughout your treatment. Average treatment times are generally from 12 to 18 months.
Who’s a good candidate for clear aligner therapy?
An initial consultation from Drs. Julie and Joseph Boulos will determine if you’re a good candidate for clear aligner therapy. ClearCorrect aligners can be used to straighten moderately crooked teeth, close gaps between teeth, correct bite issues, and address problems with overcrowding. For severe orthodontic issues, however, we may recommend traditional braces. Clear aligner therapy makes an excellent choice for teens and adults looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth.
