ClearCorrect – Springfield, MO
A Clear, Simple Alternative to Metal Braces
Straight, beautiful teeth are among the most fundamental components of a radiant, attractive smile. For many teens and adults, the benefits of perfectly aligned teeth seem out of reach – traditional metal braces simply don’t appeal to everyone, and the thought of undergoing orthodontic treatment to correct misalignment is an unpleasant one at best. Fortunately, Dr. Olson does offer a solution that helps you achieve straight teeth and a more confident smile without the need for brackets and metal wires: ClearCorrect aligners. To learn more about this solution, continue reading!
How ClearCorrect Works
First, Dr. Olson will evaluate your teeth and discuss your options with you in detail. An impression will be taken of your dentition and sent to ClearCorrect’s lab so that your aligners can be custom-made using advanced 3D printing technology. Your aligners will be sent to our office where you’ll pick them up and begin wearing them right away, putting you on the path to a straighter, healthier smile.
You’ll wear your ClearCorrect custom aligners throughout the day and night, removing them when you eat, drink, or brush and floss your teeth. Because they’re virtually invisible and completely comfortable, no one will be able to tell that you’re wearing them, and they won’t affect your daily life. As you move through each phase of your aligners, you’ll notice the gradual change as your teeth are gently shifted into their proper position.
Indications for ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect can be used to treat several malocclusions, including:
Crowded Teeth
Do you find it difficult to clean your teeth due to overcrowding? This can lead to increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. ClearCorrect can effectively space out your teeth for improved oral health.
Gaps Between Teeth
Not only can gaps affect your smile's aesthetics, but they can also pose risks to your oral health. Food particles lodged in these spaces can harbor bacteria, increasing the risk of infections. ClearCorrect can realign your teeth, eliminating these gaps and improving oral hygiene.
Bite Alignment
Issues like overbite, underbite, or crossbite can escalate the risk of TMJ disorder and bruxism, leading to discomfort and tooth damage. ClearCorrect can correct these bite problems, promoting a healthier bite and overall oral well-being.
The Benefits of ClearCorrect
The most obvious benefit will be what you don’t see. ClearCorrect is far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Sure, you can see them at close range, but otherwise you’ll be able to confidently engage in your normal social and professional appointments.
ClearCorrect braces are removable, too, so you’ll be able to eat whatever you like. Just take off your braces at mealtimes and enjoy all the foods you normally eat. Similarly, you’ll be able to maintain your regular oral hygiene routine. Brushing and flossing can be more difficult with metal brackets and wires attached to your teeth. ClearCorrect allows you to brush and floss as usual, thereby avoiding any greater risk of decay or gum disease.
