If you have crooked or crowded teeth, Dr. Flora Stenger may recommend several orthodontic treatments to help straighten your smile, including invisible braces for adults. Compared to traditional metal braces, most patients prefer invisible braces because they’re virtually unnoticeable and convenient, yet they’re just as effective if not better.
Invisible Braces/ClearCorrect is a proven technology designed to give you the smile you've always wanted, without the pain and anxiety associated with metal braces. To help you get a more beautiful smile, Clear Correct uses a series of customized, clear, removable aligners that are fabricated using CAD/CAM technology to move your teeth in small increments.
Why choose invisible braces?
Clear aligners not only offer the same benefits as traditional (wire and bracket) orthodontic treatment, including straight teeth, improved bite function, and aesthetic appearance, but also offers additional unique benefits of wireless dental treatment, including:
Improved hygiene
Since the clear aligners are removable, you can easily brush and floss your teeth like normal. There are no blind spots for bacteria to hide, which reduces the risk of white spot lesions. Moreover, if your teeth are prone to white spots or cavities, your custom aligners can be supplemented with fluoride to harden your tooth enamel and help to clean the trays.
Comfort
There are no cuts, abrasions, or awkward adjustments associated with the wires and brackets of traditional braces. This makes clear aligners comfortable and convenient for most people.
Aesthetics
The transparent trays are virtually undetectable in your mouth, which means that you can go on with your social life like normal, throughout the period of your treatment. You don’t have to hide your smile in public, plus the fact that you’re improving your smile will gradually build your confidence and self-esteem.
