There is a small percentage of people that are born with well-aligned pearly whites. However, for most of us this isn’t the case. Most people tend to have some crowding, spacing or somewhat “imperfect” teeth. While braces on kids are expected, it’s much more difficult for adults to take the plunge into orthodontic treatment. This is mostly due to the metal brackets.
This is where ClearCorrect comes in! ClearCorrect are clear sets of hard plastic aligners that fit your mouth and gently move them into the desired place. (Click here to learn more about how ClearCorrect in Bentonville, ARworks.) This is done without the use of metal or wire. This option is rapidly popularizing among both youngsters and adults, owing to its many benefits. Clear aligners for adults in Bentonville benefits include:
Invisibility
This is perhaps one of the main reasons why so many adults prefer ClearCorrect to the traditional braces. You no longer need to feel embarrassed about wearing braces at age 35, 45 or 65! You can straighten your teeth with a set of clear plastic aligners that are barely visible. Need to give a presentation at work and want to be taken seriously? No problem. You can give this presentation with the clear aligners in or take them out.
Comfort
Owing to the absence of wires and brackets, ClearCorrect trays are a more physically comfortable option than traditional braces. The smooth nature of these plastic aligners helps eliminate most forms of irritation within the mouth. Patients experience fewer cuts, nicks and sores in their mouth.
Practicality
Unlike braces, you can remove ClearCorrect trays and put them back in without any trouble. When you eat, you take the trays out and put them back in after. This allows you to enjoy your meals and also not have to deal with food getting stuck in your braces. We recommend you brush and floss after meals.
Low Maintenance
These orthodontic pieces require little to practically no maintenance. You should brush and clean your trays when you brush and floss your teeth. You only wear your trays for 2 weeks at a time so, they typically aren’t dingy before moving on to the next set. If they are discoloring, you can soak the trays a little longer before placing them back in your mouth.
Treatment Time
How long you will need to wear your ClearCorrect trays depends on numerous factors that your Bentonville dentist will determine with you. However, the average treatment time is 12 months – 18 months. One year compared to a lifetime of being unhappy with your smile? All while doing it with clear aligners and not braces? The hardest part is committing to the treatment plan, but once patients do, they are extremely happy with their results and most often wish they would have started sooner. Remember, the time goes by anyway!
