ClearCorrect — An Invisalign Alternative For Clear Aligners – Shelby Township, Michigan
This is Dr. Antolak from thegentledentist.com in Shelby Township, Michigan and I’d like to talk to you today about clear aligners to straighten your teeth. What a clear aligner is, is you’ve heard of Invisalign and ClearCorrect before, and I just wanted to explain about, a little bit about ClearCorrect. I’m holding up a brochure. This is the product that we use at our office and I’m actually using it personally myself, and I have a few cases going right now, and it’s very favorable. What ClearCorrect is, it’s a CAD, which is Computer Aided Design, of someone’s teeth. So basically the teeth are in a poor position and impressions are taken of the teeth, the top and the bottom teeth, very, very accurate impressions. We send it off to a company and that company, which is ClearCorrect, they will go ahead and form, they form models made on a computer. So you have a computer generated, they’re computer generated, and then they come up with these.
These are little models, that, are made, that will show just very minor differences between one and the other. Only half a millimeter, which is just very little small amounts of lumen at a time. And then there are clear aligners that are put into the mouth that will also that help to move these teeth. You wear them 22 hours per day if not more. So you take them out when you eat, you take them out to clean them when you brush your teeth, but other than that, you put them in your mouth and you keep them there. Every 3 weeks you change a new aligner. And I’ll show you, I have aligner on my lower. You can see right here. Alright? They come out, they’re clear and so you can wear them wherever I go. Nobody knows that they are in your mouth. You can speak normally. When you smile, people don’t see it. They also work very well for people who have minor amounts of tooth movement. If it’s a major amount of movement on the teeth, that, where the whole tooth needs to move, like this versus being tipped, then you may need to go with the traditional braces. Traditional braces do have the ability to torque teeth and to move them in, in a much more predictable way.
But at the same time there are minor tooth movement. ClearCorrect works great for those who don’t want to show braces and what they have in their mouth. And so if there are any questions you may have, you can give us a call or you would like to come in for a free consultation to see if this is something that’ll work for you, or if maybe traditional braces will be more necessary.
