FAQs About ClearCorrect®

Looking into teeth straightening options? ClearCorrect is one of the more popular options among dental patients today. Ready to learn the answers to some of the more frequently asked questions about ClearCorrect?

Why teeth straightening works

Wondering why ClearCorrect is such a popular tooth straightening option? Because this straightening system uses a certain number of clear aligners to straighten one's teeth. Clear aligners come with a number of benefits that are not available when choosing traditional braces. They are custom-made for every patient, which means more accurate results; they can be removed, making it easier to eat and perform oral care; finally, they are barely noticeable when worn. The list below includes some of people's more frequently asked questions about the ClearCorrect teeth straightening system.

ClearCorrect® FAQs

Does wearing ClearCorrect clear aligners hurt?

While those who choose the ClearCorrect option to straighten their teeth can expect their aligners not to hurt when wearing them, they will experience some level of discomfort the first few days after wearing a new set of aligners. This discomfort is completely to be expected, as the aligners are slowly and gently moving one's teeth into their new straight positions. Some new clear aligner wearers choose to take over-the-counter pain relievers in order to deal with their discomfort.

Are there any eating restrictions?

The fact that the clear aligners can be removed when eating means that those who choose this teeth straightening option can eat anything they want while undergoing treatment. Wearers simply need to be mindful of how long they take their aligners out to eat, as aligners can be removed for a certain amount of hours every day, usually two. Brushing one's teeth or at least rinsing one’s mouth is necessary before placing the aligners back in the mouth.

Is it easy to care for the aligners?

Yes, it is easy to take care of clear aligners. All ClearCorrect patients will receive easy-to-follow instructions for properly caring for their aligners. Examples of care instructions include things like carefully brushing them with a soft-bristled toothbrush, soaking them at least once a day, and making sure to remove them before consuming foods or drinks. If aligners are not removed when consuming foods or drinks, they will most likely stain.

How often does one need to make dental appointments?

Since every patient has their own unique teeth straightening needs, the number and frequency of dental appointments will depend on each individual patient. Most patients can expect to make appointments about every six weeks or so. These appointments are essential, as they allow the dental professional to ensure that the teeth straightening process is going exactly as it should.

Have you decided if ClearCorrect® is the right teeth straightening option for you? Reading the above information should help you understand that this tooth straightening system uses clear aligners to straighten teeth.
