Today, there are more options than ever to correct tooth alignment issues. Children, young people, and adults can get affordable, comfortable, and hardly noticeable braces. These options can help straighten teeth, close gaps, and improve oral health.
One of these options is available as part of Supreme Dentistry’s cosmetic dentistry services: ClearCorrect aligners. Reach out to us today at 844.966.2333, and we can help you learn more about ClearCorrect aligners and other cosmetic dentistry services at our Houston, Texas, office.
What Are ClearCorrect Aligners?
ClearCorrect aligners are nearly invisible, clear aligners that straighten and space appropriately spaced teeth. They’re just one of the options orthodontists at Supreme Dentistry offer to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
ClearCorrect aligners are designed for optimal comfort. They are trimmed to match the patient’s gumline, making them less noticeable. They should blend in with your naturally matte teeth. They are also thinner than similar products like Invisalign, making them more comfortable. Also, aligners from ClearCorrect have no dietary restrictions, don’t obstruct or prevent brushing and flossing, and are removable.
Your dentist at Supreme Dentistry creates a 3D model of your teeth and bite. From that model, a treatment plan is developed, showing how your teeth will gradually be re-aligned. Then, aligners are custom-made with computer precision to fit. ClearCorrect has multiple treatment options: Limited 6, Limited 12, and Unlimited. By consulting with your dentist, you can determine which option is best for your needs.
Issues That ClearCorrect Aligners Can Address
While braces are often seen as for children, many adults now use them to fix long-standing cosmetic issues. With near-invisible options like ClearCorrect, more adults are correcting aspects of their smiles that have bothered them for years. ClearCorrect aligners can address issues like:
Overbite
This is when an individual’s top front teeth overlap the front lower teeth. For most, this isn’t a problem. However, when the overbite becomes more pronounced, an individual can experience jaw discomfort and issues biting and chewing. Invisible braces like ClearCorrect aligners help move the top teeth back, resolving the overbite issue.
Crowding
An individual’s permanent teeth buckle and crowd each other. When teeth crowd or overlap, they twist and turn to the side, making it challenging to keep teeth clean. This increases the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. However, clear aligners address this by helping to straighten and space teeth out more appropriately.
Gaps and Spaces
Gaps or spaces between teeth can occur due to a variety of reasons, including genetics or missing teeth. These gaps can be both a cosmetic and functional issue, making it difficult to bite and chew properly. ClearCorrect aligners can help close these gaps and improve the overall appearance and function of the mouth.
Advantages of Enhancing Your Smile with ClearCorrect Aligners
Having straight teeth offers numerous benefits beyond just aesthetics, such as:
- Easier to clean – When teeth are straight, they are easier to brush and floss properly. This helps to reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
- Reduced wear and tear – When teeth are properly aligned, they fit perfectly when you bite down. This helps to reduce the amount of wear and tear on your teeth.
- Fewer headaches and jaw pain – When your teeth are not aligned properly, it can lead to tension headaches and jaw pain. But, when your teeth are correctly aligned, the risk of these issues is reduced.
- Improved self-confidence – When you feel good about your smile, you are likelier to smile more often. This can lead to increased self-confidence.
If you are considering ClearCorrect clear aligners, consult our dentists to see if this is the right treatment option.
How Is ClearCorrect Different from Invisalign?
While both ClearCorrect and Invisalign are effective options for those seeking to straighten their teeth discreetly, some key differences between the two might make one more suitable for you than the other.
Here’s what sets ClearCorrect apart:
- Material thinness – ClearCorrect aligners are slightly thinner than Invisalign, making them a more comfortable fit for many patients.
- Cost – Typically, ClearCorrect is a more cost-effective option than Invisalign, which can make a significant difference for those on a budget.
- Trim design – ClearCorrect aligners are cut straight across the gumline, whereas Invisalign aligners are scalloped to match the gumline. Depending on your preference, this difference can affect comfort and aesthetics.
- Treatment scope – ClearCorrect offers various treatment plans, such as Limited 6, Limited 12, and Unlimited, allowing more flexible treatment options and adjustments as needed.
- Manufacturing process – Both brands use precise computer modeling to create custom aligners, though the specific software and methods may vary, impacting how treatment progresses.
The best way to determine which option suits your needs is to consult with our experienced dentists at Supreme Dentistry. They can explain the differences and help you choose the best path to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted.
