Getting a straighter, more beautiful smile with the help of ClearCorrect<\/a> is easier than you might think. In fact, many people are surprised to learn just how fast and convenient this treatment is, especially when compared to traditional braces. If you\u2019ve been wondering just how does<\/em> ClearCorrect work so quickly, here\u2019s a closer look at the steps involved in realigning your bite with these discreet, comfortable aligners, and why getting a gorgeous, healthy grin doesn\u2019t have to take forever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step #1: The Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your first step in your ClearCorrect journey is your consultation appointment with your dentist. At this appointment, your teeth and gums will be examined to make sure you\u2019re in good oral health and your smile qualifies for treatment. While aligners are ideal for many issues, there are some that may be better addressed with traditional braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #2: Diagnostic Imaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are a good candidate for ClearCorrect, your dentist will take images of your teeth and jaw to help plan your treatment. These will be instrumental in helping determine the duration you\u2019ll need to wear your aligners, as well as if you need any attachments to go along with them. It will also give the lab a blueprint from which to create your trays, so they fit your mouth securely while still moving your teeth in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #3: Receiving Your Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a few weeks, your aligners will arrive at your dentist\u2019s office, and you will return to start your treatment. Your dental team will show you how to put on and take off your trays and go over best practices such as when to brush and floss, how long you can take them off for the day, and what you can and cannot do while wearing them (no eating!). You will also be instructed on how to clean the aligners and even when to advance to the next set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #4: Follow-Ups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Follow-up appointments with ClearCorrect are necessary to ensure that your treatment is on track and no adjustments need to be made. Thankfully, these check-ins are usually very fast, and a lot less frequent than with traditional braces, making ClearCorrect ideal for patients with a busy lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #5: Refinements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re nearing the end of your treatment, you may still need a few minor refinements to make your smile perfect. In most cases, patients only need one or two of these adjustments, if any at all, and they should not add much time to your treatment. While it may be frustrating to wait a bit longer, refinements are very important. After all, you\u2019ve already invested your time and money in getting a more gorgeous grin, waiting just a little bit longer to get exactly what you wanted will be well worth the wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #6: Button Removal & Retainer Delivery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last step in your ClearCorrect journey is the removal of the buttons that hold your aligners in place, and the delivery of your retainers. In some cases, you may require devices that are just like your trays, or you may benefit from one that looks or fits a bit differently. This will depend on your individual smile and your dentist\u2019s discretion. No matter which types you are prescribed, however, be sure to wear them exactly as directed to preserve your beautiful results and ensure that your teeth don\u2019t shift back to their original positions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, ClearCorrect aligners are a faster, more comfortable, more convenient<\/em> way to align your smile than traditional braces. In fact, your treatment could be done within 12 to 18 months! So, don\u2019t get overwhelmed with the process: familiarize yourself with these six important steps and you\u2019ll be well on your way to a healthier, more beautiful smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
