Are you thinking about choosing ClearCorrect braces to straighten your teeth? Both teens and adults are choosing this popular alternative option to wear traditional braces. The ClearCorrect option uses clear aligners instead of braces, so some benefits come with this alternative option that is not available when choosing traditional braces.
How long do you have to wear ClearCorrect braces?
One of the most common questions patients have is how long does it take ClearCorrect braces to work? These teeth straightening option uses four different phases to straighten teeth, and once all of the phases are complete, the result is straight teeth. The process starts with a digital scan of your teeth sent to a dental lab so the aligners can be custom-made for the patient. Those with minimally crooked or moderately crooked teeth are considered good candidates.
When it comes to how long you need to wear your ClearCorrect braces, it simply depends on how crooked your teeth are before undergoing treatment. ClearCorrect slowly moves teeth into their correct positions, so everyone who chooses this straightening option will need to wear their aligners for a certain amount of time before expecting straight teeth. The shortest amount of time it takes is between four and six months. The longest amount of time is between 12 and 24 months.
Wearers must keep the aligners in their mouths for about 22 hours daily to get expected results. If the aligners are not worn as directed by a dental professional, the corrective process can begin to reverse itself. If this happens, the corrective process can take about a week to start working again. Therefore, patients must ensure they follow all directions in the straightening process, as the process can take longer if the aligners are not worn properly.
What ClearCorrect can treat
ClearCorrect is a straightening treatment that can remedy crooked or rotated teeth, crowded teeth, too much spacing between teeth, overbites, and underbites. This treatment style makes ClearCorrect a versatile option for those living with teeth that are not in their correct positions. In addition, since this option can work for teens and adults, almost any age can benefit from choosing this straightening option.
For someone to understand exactly how ClearCorrect treatment will work for them, they will need to have a treatment plan made during their consultation appointment. ClearCorrect offers three different options – a limited six-month program, a limited 12-month program, and an unlimited program.
Is this the right teeth straightening option for you?
Is ClearCorrect braces the right choice? The fact that straight teeth support a healthy mouth makes it necessary for those with minimally crooked teeth and very crooked teeth to choose a straightening option that works well for them. Depending on the extent of one’s crookedness, a dentist will help determine how long someone will need to wear these popular teeth straightening options.
