Dentistry has traditionally focused on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease. However, dentists who are highly skilled at cosmetic dentistry procedures give their patients additional options to improve the appearance of their teeth, smile and mouth. In other words, restorative dentistry, also referred to as general and/or family dentistry practices address dental problems that require necessary treatment; whereas cosmetic dentistry provides elective – or desired – treatments and services.

clearcorrect-invisible-braces Whether it’s because of how your appearance will change, the awkwardness of metal being in your mouth, or how meticulous you have to be in cleaning them, braces can be daunting. But they don’t have to be, especially if they are clear and easy to maneuver invisible braces. Since many people are turning to more transparent alternatives to regular braces, ClearCorrect is a very accurate solution to set your teeth in place and looking fresh.

Invisible Braces: What is ClearCorrect?

ClearCorrect are invisible braces that were created in 2006 as transparent aligners that simplify and improve the position of teeth. They straighten teeth using custom-made, removable aligners that move your teeth bit by bit. Using 3-D and computerized technology to assess your teeth, results in a detailed evaluation of your teeth and their current alignment. As a result, you will receive the most suitable fit of invisible braces for your mouth.

There are three clear options for improving your teeth:

  1. There’s the Limited 6 option, which treats the full arch, covering all premolars.
  2. Then there’s the Limited 12 option alternative where 12 sets of alignments are provided for extended treatment.
  3. Lastly, there’s an unlimited option where you can get as many sets of aligners as are required for your treatment. This final option allows for an uncapped amount of revisions to your aligners over a three-year span.

Most cases require up to two years of treatment, depending on how much adjustment your teeth need.
