What Are ClearCorrect® Braces?
ClearCorrect braces help to move teeth into place through the use of a series of clear aligners. Similar in looks to a full retainer, the ClearCorrect braces aligners are made from clear, comfortable plastic. These trays are almost invisible when worn, so long as you take care to not scratch the surface of the aligners. During your visit to RSN Dental PC, we will instruct you on how you can make sure your trays stay in pristine condition throughout the process of your treatment.
Traditional Braces Versus ClearCorrect®
A benefit to having an aligner versus traditional braces is the convenience of being able to remove it when eating. This keeps down the amount of food that gets stuck in your braces and makes it easier to clean your teeth. Additionally, there are restrictions on foods you can eat when wearing traditional braces. With these aligners, there are no restrictions.
How Are They Made?
Using an impression taken from your teeth and gums, the lab will create a series of aligners that you will wear throughout the process. The aligners begin with the current position of your teeth and gradually move them until they are straight. Each tray is worn for a time period of four to six weeks. The old aligner is replaced in steps by the next set in the series over the course of your treatment.
