Clear Correct with Dr. Mehta
Clear aligners are the most versatile and convenient choice among all orthodontic treatments. Made of a clear, flexible material, orthodontic aligners are comfortable, virtually invisible, and removable, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who are seeking a more discreet approach to straightening their teeth. Clear aligners treat the same bite and alignment issues that traditional metal braces do, without the brackets and wires.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
A series of custom-made aligner trays is used to gradually shift your teeth into place. Each tray is designed to move just one tooth or one section of teeth at a time. Once the tray’s work is complete (typically every two weeks), we move on to the next.
About Clear Correct in Chicago
Pain and Soreness
Because there are no brackets and wires, clear aligners do not cause significant pain or soreness. In some cases, patients feel temporary discomfort (pressure) for the first few days after switching trays. That pressure may be uncomfortable but is a good sign that the trays are doing their job!
Caring for Clear Aligners
Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day. They should only be removed for cleaning, eating and drinking. To clean your aligners, simply brush and rinse them each time you brush your teeth.
Treatment Time
Treatment time typically falls within the range of 9-16 months. Some patients may also benefit from wearing a retainer after treatment is complete to prevent regression. This will all be discussed as part of your overall treatment plan.
Additional Information About ClearCorrect Aligners in Chicago?
ClearCorrect aligners provide a modern, discreet way to achieve a straighter smile. Unlike traditional braces, ClearCorrect uses clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position, offering a comfortable and convenient orthodontic solution.
How ClearCorrect Aligners Work
ClearCorrect aligners work through a series of custom-made, clear trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Here’s what to expect from the process:
- Initial Consultation: Our dental office will evaluate your teeth and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Custom Aligners: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a series of clear aligners will be custom-made for your teeth.
- Wearing the Aligners: Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. Aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- Regular Check-ups: You’ll visit us periodically to ensure your treatment progresses as planned.
- Completion: After completing the series of aligners, you will have a straighter, more aligned smile.
Benefits of ClearCorrect Aligners
- Nearly Invisible: ClearCorrect aligners are clear and difficult to notice, making them an ideal choice for adults and teenagers who want a discreet orthodontic treatment.
- Removable Aligners: You can remove the aligners to eat, drink, and perform oral hygiene, allowing for better dental care and no dietary restrictions.
- Effective Results: ClearCorrect aligners can effectively treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, gaps, and bite problems.
Caring for Your ClearCorrect Aligners
Proper care and maintenance of your ClearCorrect aligners are crucial for achieving optimal results:
- Wear Them Consistently: Follow your dentist’s instructions and wear your aligners for the recommended amount of time each day.
- Keep Them Clean: Clean your aligners with a soft toothbrush or a special aligner cleaning solution.
- Avoid Staining: Remove your aligners before consuming foods and beverages that can stain, such as coffee, tea, and red wine.
- Store Properly: Always store your aligners in their protective case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
