Twin Falls ClearCorrect® Clear Aligners Provider

ClearCorrect® Clear Aligners Consultation

Are you seeking a more beautiful looking smile in Twin Falls but not looking for the hassle of traditional braces? ClearCorrect Clear Aligners might be the perfect solution for you! Many adult patients think that correcting misalignment is reserved for kids and teenagers, but thanks to ClearCorrect, no one even has to know you're straightening your teeth. The aligners are made from ClearQuartz, a tri-layer plastic built for comfort, clarity and durability, so there are no metal brackets or wires involved. These trays are virtually invisible, highly aesthetic, and can be removed at any time. They're designed to resist staining and hold their clarity day after day, and since you can take them out, eating, brushing and flossing are much easier than with traditional orthodontic braces. ClearCorrect Clear Aligners also require fewer visits to the dentist or orthodontist than traditional braces.

How does the ClearCorrect system work?

ClearCorrect treatment starts with a visit to our office, where we take a digital scan or impressions of your teeth to create a 3D model. That model goes to ClearCorrect's technicians, who work with us to create a digital treatment plan that maps out how your teeth will move. Our doctors customize the plan for each patient based on their bite and corrective needs, and they review and approve it before any aligners are made. Your full series of aligners is then custom manufactured from ClearQuartz material to fit your teeth precisely. The aligners are shipped to our office, and the doctor will fit you with them at your next visit. You'll wear your aligners about 22 hours a day, and each aligner is worn for about 2 weeks before you move on to the next one. You will then need to visit our office roughly once every two months for checkups.

What teeth can ClearCorrect treat?

ClearCorrect Clear Aligners are designed to treat a wide range of dental alignment issues, including crowding, spacing, overbite, crossbite, open bite, midline shift and edge-to-edge bite. Some milder underbites can be treated as well, and our doctors will let you know at your consultation whether yours is a good fit. ClearCorrect aligners work well for simpler cases and for smiles that need extra attention. Under the expert guidance of our dental team, your customized ClearCorrect treatment plan is built to give you a healthy, functional smile.

Added benefits compared to traditional braces

Both traditional braces and ClearCorrect Clear Aligners will treat a wide variety of cases that include teeth crowding, spacing issues, crossbites, overbites and open bites. The best thing about ClearCorrect, however, is that the aligners are virtually invisible to the naked eye thanks to their exceptional clarity and can be taken out whenever you need. This allows for better oral hygiene and more enjoyable meals. Patients with traditional braces have often complained of discomfort due to the metal fixtures involved, but with ClearCorrect Clear Aligners, the uncomfortable metal is replaced with smooth, stain-resistant plastic that maintains its clarity day after day. Plus, ClearCorrect's ClearQuartz material is built to apply gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth, which makes for a more comfortable treatment than wires and brackets.

ClearCorrect Frequently Asked Questions:

How long will I wear them?

Length of your ClearCorrect treatment depends on the patient. Sometimes it is only necessary to use the system to close a few spaces or treat minor malocclusion. Because each case is different, treatment can take as little as 3 months, and in some cases it can last a little longer than 16 months.

How long is each aligner worn before moving onto the next one?

Typically each aligner is worn for a period of two weeks. However each course is specific to the patient and therefore your doctor will outline a specific plan or cycle for each patient.

Is there a recommended age for ClearCorrect?

ClearCorrect treatment is great for both teens and adults whose malocclusion is ideal for treatment. Other problems may exist with a patient's bite that may require a more traditional orthodontic approach. Each patient should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

What is the cost difference in comparison to traditional braces?

Cost is typically comparable to traditional braces but again varies on a case by case basis. If a longer course is needed to correct the malocclusion, pricing can increase.

What is the difference between Invisalign and ClearCorrect?

Wondering about the difference between ClearCorrect Clear Aligners and Invisalign in Twin Falls? Both systems straighten teeth with clear, removable aligners, and both can treat a wide range of alignment issues under the guidance of a dental professional. Where they differ is in the materials and fit. ClearCorrect aligners are made from ClearQuartz, a tri-layer material that ClearCorrect's own testing found to be more stain resistant than the leading aligner brand. They also use a high, flat trimline that sits slightly past the gumline, which gives the aligners more grip on your teeth and gives our doctors more control over how your teeth move. ClearCorrect is made by Straumann, the Swiss dental company best known for its implant systems. At your consultation, our doctors can answer any questions about how ClearCorrect compares for your specific case.
