Clear Correct in Albuquerque, NM

ClearCorrect is one of the most comfortable orthodontic treatments available. It consists of a set of clear aligners that straighten teeth without metal braces. These aligners are custom-molded to fit the patient's teeth. The patient wears each set of aligners for about two weeks. The aligners gradually shift the teeth into the desired position. 

ClearCorrect Treatment Plan

Our dentist will customize your ClearCorrect treatment plan for you. This customized plan will detail the movements of your teeth from the beginning to the end of the plan.

First, our dentist Albuquerque, NM will use digital imaging technology to generate a 3D image of your teeth. This imaging technology will capture the exact movements that your teeth will make throughout your treatment. The dentist will use these 3D images to design your treatment plan.

You will receive your first set of aligners in about seven to ten days. You must wear them for at least 22 hours a day. Each aligner has to be worn for about two weeks. Then, you will move on to your next aligner in the series. Each aligner will continue to push your teeth into their proper positions.

Benefits of ClearCorrect

• ClearCorrect aligners are completely removable. You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This makes ClearCorrect treatment more comfortable and convenient. 
• With ClearCorrect, you can continue to enjoy the foods you love. Simply remove your clear aligners before every meal and enjoy all the healthy foods you love. You should still avoid sticky foods or hard candy as they can affect the health of your teeth.
• ClearCorrect aligners make it easier to brush and floss. This can help to keep your teeth healthy and prevent gum disease.
• ClearCorrect offers faster treatment time. Most patients can complete their treatment in 12 to 18 months, although the length of time will vary, depending on each patient's unique needs.

ClearCorrect Aftercare

Taking care of your teeth with ClearCorrect is easier than with traditional braces. However, there are still several things you can do to keep your teeth and ClearCorrect aligners clean, including: 

• Remember to brush your teeth after every meal. Since your aligners are removable, there are no restrictions on what you can eat or drink. Simply remove your aligners, clean your teeth, and then place the aligners back.
• Avoid chewing on hard foods, such as hard candy, ice, and popcorn kernels as they can crack or break your teeth. 
• You can remove the aligners whenever you need to eat or drink, brush and floss, or participate in sports or other activities. ClearCorrect aligners can also be removed just for photos or special occasions.
