Don’t let misalignment impact the overall health and appearance of your smile. Instead, talk to our team. Instead of traditional braces, we can offer cosmetic aligners to correct your uneven smile. In today’s blog, your West Allis, WI, dentist talks about the benefits of the ClearCorrect® system.
Taking on Your Dental Misalignment
We could develop dental misalignment due to issues that occur in childhood like thumb sucking or complications with the growth of the smile or the eruption of the teeth. Injury or tooth loss in the teen and adult years could also be a factor. When you have an uneven smile, this could make thorough brushing and flossing more difficult and increase the risk of issues like tooth decay and gum disease. The strain on your jaw joints could also lead to complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). To enjoy an attractive and healthy smile, you need to undergo treatment for dental misalignment.
Creating Your Custom Plastic Aligners
Instead of braces, our team could offer ClearCorrect®, which uses clear plastic aligners instead of metal brackets and wires to shift teeth into their proper position. To create them, we will take detailed digital images of your smile from multiple angles. We then combine these to create a 3D impression, one that experts in a lab setting can use to design and fabricate the aligners from a BPA-free plastic material. You then start treatment with custom-fitted orthodontics.
The ClearCorrect® Treatment Process
The treatment process is simple. You will wear a set of plastic aligners for two weeks, over a period of about 20 to 22 hours a day. You then repeat the process with the next set of orthodontics. This helps shift the teeth, with optimal results possible in as little as a year to 18 months. You can remove them before meals, so there is no need to change your diet or avoid certain foods. Being removable also means a much easier time brushing and flossing, so you can reduce your risk of teeth stains, cavities, and gum disease during the treatment process. The system also requires fewer office visits too!
