If crooked teeth make you feel self-conscious about your smile, you may want to learn about ClearCorrect® plastic aligners. Maybe you never had braces as an adolescent. Or perhaps you did and forgot to wear your retainer, resulting in tooth movement and shifting.
Whatever the case may be, most adults are not excited about the idea of wearing traditional metal braces to straighten their teeth, which is where ClearCorrect comes in. Instead of using brackets and wires, ClearCorrect uses clear plastic aligners that gently nudge your teeth into alignment. The aligners fit snugly against your teeth, and because they're clear, they're hardly noticeable!
How ClearCorrect Works
After you and Dr. Zapatero decide that ClearCorrect is right for you, he'll scan 3-D images into the computer and create a plan for aligning your teeth. ClearCorrect uses this plan to create a custom series of aligners to move your teeth into alignment over time. When patients are compliant about wearing their aligners for at least 22 hours daily, we can complete most cases in 12 to 18 months.
The Advantages of ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect in Virginia Beach offers several advantages over braces that our patients love:
- No diet restrictions: During treatment with ClearCorrect, you can enjoy all the foods you normally love since your aligners are removable.
- Easy home care: Brushing and flossing are a breeze with removable aligners.
- The utmost discretion: No one will notice you're straightening your teeth with clear aligners.
- Predictable results: ClearCorrect can correct most mild or moderate orthodontic concerns.
- Fewer dental visits: Since you can change your aligners at home, you'll have fewer visits to the dentist to check your progress.
