Clear Correct: An Alternative to Metal Braces

Dr. Baptiste • June 12, 2019

When it comes to feeling confident about yourself, a healthy, beautiful smile can go a long way. This is why there are so many individuals who turn to orthodontic treatments. Traditionally, braces were just for those in their youth or young adult years, but many adults seek treatment as well. With new alternate treatments such as Clear Correct, it is now possible to receive orthodontic care without the obvious appearance of having a corrective device!

Clear Correct is an alternative to traditional metal braces. It is a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom made to fit your teeth. These aligners will gradually straighten your teeth over time until you get the smile you always dreamed of. No wires, brackets or rubber bands. Clear Correct is able to improve a range of issues that cause many people from attaining their perfect and ideal smile. Some of these include treating gaps and spaces between teeth, overcrowding, adjusting overbite, under bite, cross bite and open bite.

Not only are straighter teeth aesthetically appealing and make you feel self-confident, but having correct alignment of your teeth can create improved oral health. Many patients who have gone through the orthodontic process have found it easier to care for their teeth at home through simple brushing and flossing, which helps lower the potential risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease. Your orthodontist will discuss all your options for treatments, including any problems and goals you have for your smile. Once your orthodontist and you confirm that Clear Correct is the perfect corrective option for you, the orthodontist will take x-rays, photos and impressions of your teeth. Following that, these are sent off to Clear Correct who will then use them in manufacturing your custom aligners along with a prescription written out by your orthodontist.

Recently, Clear Correct has emerged as a marvelous substitute to traditional metal braces. Although metal braces can be made stylish with different colored bands, they tend to hide your natural smile and for many, make them self-conscious of their appearance. However, with Clear Correct, the aligner trays are completely see through so many people will not even suspect you are undergoing orthodontic treatments.

Traditional metal braces can take anywhere from 6 months to a couple of years, depending on the severity of your case. They are semi-permanent and can only be fitted and detached by an orthodontist. As an alternative, Clear Correct offers more freedom and flexibility allowing you to remove them for when you are eating or brushing your teeth. It also helps reduce the broken brackets that have to then cost a trip to the dentist to have it replace.

When debating prices on orthodontic care, it always varies depending on severity of the case and materials used. Clear Correct offers affordable options especially if patients require a less excessive treatment.

Clear Correct is a clear and effective choice over traditional metal braces. Baptiste Orthodontics can assist with your Clear Correct braces in Orlando. Clear Correct braces in Orlando .
