Seven Benefits of ClearCorrect Aligners

Teens and adults alike want to smile with confidence. Dr. Warren Boardman of Ridgewood Dentistry in Ridgewood, New Jersey, uses ClearCorrect aligners to straighten patients’ teeth and give them the beautiful smile they deserve. Realigning crooked teeth will improve your smile and re-establish your mouth’s proper form and function. This, in turn, will also improve your overall health and well-being. Below are a few of the benefits ClearCorrect aligners offer.

1. Easy to remove – Unlike traditional metal braces that are attached to your teeth, clear aligner trays snap gently on and off. They fit securely, so they won’t slip or shift while you have them in place. You can take your aligners out as needed to eat, clean them, speak in public, or brush and floss your teeth. When you’re ready, snap them back in place.
2. Easy to keep clean—ClearCorrect aligners are made of hard, durable plastic that is easy to clean and maintain. There are two ways to clean your aligners. You can brush them using a soft-bristled toothbrush with a small amount of antibacterial soap. You can also soak them in water along with a denture-cleaning tablet. Removing any debris from the creases and crevices will protect your teeth from cavities.
3. No trapped food – One of the biggest problems with traditional metal braces is trying to keep food from becoming lodged next to the brackets and wires. With clear aligners, you can remove the aligners while you are eating and replace them after you brush your teeth. This eliminates the risk of trapped food that could eventually lead to tooth decay.
4. Gradual adjustment – A key benefit of clear aligners is they gradually adjust the alignment of your teeth over a period of time. Trays can be used for longer periods, if needed, to ensure the proper results are achieved. Your dentist will closely monitor your progress to ensure you remain on track.
5. Practically invisible – Aligner trays are made from a very hard yet durable clear plastic. Only a small section of the tray is visible once the trays are snapped onto your teeth. Unless you bring attention to the fact you are wearing them, most people won’t even notice. You will be able to smile and speak naturally with few distractions.
6. Won’t damage the surface of your teeth – Traditional metal braces require brackets to be glued on or tightened around your teeth. Clear aligners are designed to snap on and off your teeth without causing any damage to the sensitive enamel that covers and protects your teeth.
7. Gives back your self-confidence – As you begin to notice how the alignment of your teeth is changing, your self-confidence will improve. You will smile more, and even receive a few compliments as people begin to notice.
